What to do in Shanghai?

Question

A group of us are traveling to China in October. We will be there for 2 weeks traveling in Beijing, Xi'an, different ports on the Yangtze River and finally in Shanghai.

Our trip is already scheduled for us for everyday except for the final day in Shanghai which is free for us to do things on our own.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I think you should check out Shikumen

  Renovated shikumen lanes in Xintiandi,this tribute to old Shanghai is now a high end restaurant and shopping center.One uniquely Shanghainese cultural element is the shikumen (石库门) residences, which are two or three-story townhouses, with the front yard protected by a high brick wall. Each residence is connected and arranged in straight alleys, known as a lòngtang (弄堂), pronounced longdang in Shanghainese. The entrance to each alley is usually surmounted by a stylistic stone arch. The whole resembles terrace houses or townhouses commonly seen in Anglo-American countries, but distinguished by the tall, heavy brick wall in front of each house. The name "shikumen" literally means "stone storage door", referring to the strong gateway to each house.
