Stroll along Chuanda Road to soak up the laid-back vibe of Shanghai's suburbs! This tree-lined avenue cuts through the heart of Chuansha New Town, where locals jog under sycamore canopies that turn golden in fall. Don't miss the mom-and-pop shops serving crispy shengjianbao (pan-fried buns) alongside hipster cafes. Pro tip: Visit at dusk when the setting sun paints the red-brick buildings in nostalgic hues—it's like stepping into 1980s Shanghai.
