Tianzifang, Art district in Shanghai
Tianzifang is a tourist shopping and cafe area in the former French Concession of Shanghai, China.
Once an industrial area of laneways, Tianzifang has been transformed from legacy residential architectures and factories into an artsy area housing bars, cafes, crafts shops, design studios, galleries and boutiques.
The area retains an 'old Shanghai' style, with narrow alleys and traditional shikumen houses.
It's important to navigate Tianzifang's alleys during less crowded hours for a more pleasant visit.
Unlike the renovated Xintiandi area, Tianzifang preserves its original layout and shanty appearance.
