The Gongfu Xincun Subway Station-Exit 3 in Shanghai's Baoshan District may seem like an ordinary subway exit, but it's a perfect spot to soak up authentic local life. Surrounding neighborhoods buzz with old-school charm - steam rising from breakfast stalls, neighbors chatting in dialects, showcasing Shanghai's unique alleyway culture. Just steps away you'll find hole-in-the-wall eateries serving classic Shanghainese breakfast like ci fan tuan (sticky rice rolls) and soy milk at unbelievably affordable prices.
