A must see in Shanghai. A kind of Gängeviertel with a mixture of art, craft and food. As at the weekend very fully recommends a visit during the week. Many small restaurants invite you to linger. No rip-all fair.

Tianzifang is a tourist shopping and cafe area in Shanghai in the Old French Quarter. Unlike the better known Xintiandi area nearby, the area retains an “organic and original” feel because the area hasn’t been markedly reconstructed in recent years. Instead you’ll see buildings, alleys and streets of the old French Quarter with later Chinese additions piled on.

In an effort to stave off redevelopment, in the middle of the last decade, artists, business owners, and residents in the area banded together and preserved the original architecture. Though it is still a Chinese residential area, it has become famous as a “rabbit warren” of arts and crafts shops,and less-expensive less-expensive restaurants, bars, and cafes. Thousands of Chinese still live in the apartments above the shops.

For many tourists and expats in Shanghai it is a favorite place to go. Prices are high compared to other places in Shanghai since it has become a tourist attraction, but they find the Chinese residential atmosphere and the old-style buildings, narrow alleys, and less touristy atmosphere fascinating.

Tianzifang (田子坊) is an old neighborhood that gives you a feel of what life in the small alleys could have been like. I highly recommend visiting this place on an afternoon when it is busy with people. And a good place to buy some souvenirs, as they will then come with a story how you lost your sense of direction in this maze ;-)
