Zhenxing Road

Stroll down Zhenxing Road to soak up Shanghai's authentic local vibe! This charming old street is dotted with hole-in-the-wall eateries and nostalgic mom-and-pop shops. Start your morning with freshly fried crullers dipped in warm soy milk, and watch retirees practice tai chi under plane trees at dusk. Don't miss the old-school barbershop with its iconic spinning pole - its red-and-white stripes still turn slowly, as if time stands still here.
