Stroll down Lanting Street and step into a time capsule of old Shanghai. This nostalgic alley showcases Republic-era architecture and traditional shikumen houses, with weathered brick walls and wrought-iron balconies whispering century-old stories. Discover hidden gems at every turn—an indie bookstore smelling of coffee beans, or tiny shops bursting with antique porcelains. Grab a freshly baked pork mooncake to snack on as you explore. When lanterns glow at dusk, snap an Instagram-worthy shot by the rickshaw in front of a vintage barbershop!
