Dingjiabang Road

Stroll down Shijiabang Road where old Shanghai comes alive! Tucked behind the Bund, this nostalgic lane preserves 1930s shikumen townhouses with weathered brick walls and bamboo laundry poles crisscrossing the sky. Follow the sizzling sound to hole-in-the-wall shops frying juicy pork buns - that first bite of crispy-bottomed shengjian will make you vow to "eat your way through Shanghai".
