Stroll along Minxian Road to immerse yourself in Shanghai's authentic local vibe! This lively street is lined with eclectic shops and food stalls ranging from traditional snack vendors to hipster-friendly cafes. Don't miss the sizzling shengjianbao (pan-fried buns) and crispy scallion pancakes, or explore hidden alleyways dotted with creative boutiques in converted shikumen houses. Visit at dusk when the neighborhood comes alive with locals chatting on stoops - it's like stepping into old Shanghai.
