Gulian Road

Step into Gulian Road and be transported to old Shanghai! This nostalgic street is lined with 1930s Shikumen buildings, where red-brick facades hide indie bookstores and artisan coffee shops. Don't miss the old-school barbershop with its vintage spinning pole, or follow the aroma of shengjianbao to hole-in-the-wall eateries. Those faded shop signs on the walls? Each tells a story of the city's past - perfect for snapping that artsy Instagram shot!
