Timetable

9:00-10:00 AM

You set the start time cause it’s your day.

Locals can go to your place to  pick you

up, just in case you get lost.

 

10:00 AM-12:30 PMGet your breakfast on Hengshan Road if

you haven’t already. Tour around Music

Institute area where many romantic cafes

and authentic foreign restaurants locate ----

Greek cuisine in the blue  and white house;

German in the mansion; antique shop on

the bottom level of coffee shop, and the

best French crepes ever. You don’t have

to eat them all, but surely you can get nice

pictures taken.

If you are tired of foreign dishes, come and

eat with me in the low-key and local noodle

place that has been hiding in the CBD for

decades. Catch up with my steps, cause

otherwise the line will be line and the most

popular katsu will sell out!

12:30-17:30PM: 

Walking on Huaihai Road  ,   the modern

shopping malls will remind you of the Fifth

Ave in NYC . IAPM is the Tomorrowland

for adults ; the biggest MUJI and UNIQLO

are just fun enough to visit even if we are just

window-shopping ; K11 is the most artsy

shopping mall, holding various exhibitions on

the bottom levels.

18:00~whenever you like

Arrive at Xintiandi before the sun goes down

and taste some delicious food and drinks

within Shanghai style architecture such as

the iconic stone gates. Did I say taste the

food? Oops sorry, the main course should be

the amazing night view of Shanghai ---- the

sleepless city.

Shanghainese

well-command of Chinese Tea

“

   Shanghai born and Shanghai grown makes me not only be familiar with the city but also can “smell” those changes with my instinct. 

绿皮     Hanyuan Bookstore

  Antique funiture, old-fashion decoration-this is Han yuan Bookstore.

  Deke Erh and Tess Johnston co-founded the bookstore in 1994. Books here are almost in English version and most of them belong to Deke Erh's personal collection. This means you can only read them in the bookstore, but you cannot buy or bring them home. 

  Coffee, tea and snacks are sold there. During your visit, our local may introduce relative knowledge about Chinese tea, including how they are made and how to judge their level.

绿皮     Duolun Road and 1933

  Duolun Road, which is famous for its’ taste in culture, mainly refer to its’ celebrities’ left house, and restaurants. When dusk comes, we could walk to the 1933 Old Millfun.

  Different from those shiny buildings along the bund, the 1933 Old Factory is not that realized by people, as a master piece in architecture. But, almost no one could reject its’ glamorous and diligence when he/she see it by person.

  In briefing, it was originally a slaughterhouse. There were three in total had that high level architectural achievement in the world, and 1933 is now the only one reserved among its kind. 

Don't think! Drop everything and come!
