Stroll along the Lao’an River to soak up Shanghai's unique blend of history and modernity. Once a vital waterway of old Shanghai, its banks now exude nostalgic charm with shikumen architecture and plane tree shadows painting an enchanting urban tapestry. Come at dusk when golden sunlight dances on the water, street musicians fill the air with melodies, and hole-in-the-wall eateries serve authentic Benbang cuisine—it's the ultimate local Shanghai experience.
