Introduction
In the heart of Shanghai, nestled between the bustling glamour of the Bund and the vibrant People's Square, lies a world that offers a strong contrast to the modern metropolis that surrounds it.
Lilong
Lilong is a type of residential community or neighborhood composed of long rows of Shikumen houses, rowhouses, or apartment buildings. These houses often have a stone gateway leading into interconnected courtyards with residences. They are a symbol of traditional Shanghai living and are becoming increasingly rare as the city modernizes.
During our tour, we'll have the opportunity to observe the authentic local life. Residents going about their routines, washing clothes or vegetables in communal areas, hanging their laundry between the houses, and even getting haircuts at makeshift outdoor hairdressers. It's a captivating experience to witness the coexistence of old traditions and contemporary life within the same neighborhood.
Authentic breakfast
Let's taste the authentic flavors of Shanghai's breakfast! From the crisp and savory jianbing to the delicate and flavorful soup dumplings, the steamed baozi, and the comforting noodle soup, our culinary journey will introduce you to the city's culinary heritage.
