Introduction Longtang Exploration in Shanghai

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

To experience Shanghai's most authentic local life, wander through its labyrinthine longtang alleys—these maze-like lanes preserve the city's truest character. Here, time-worn stone steps bear the polish of generations, and faded doorplates whisper tales of change. The longtang is an open, three-dimensional scrapbook—one that lets every visitor touch the living texture and human warmth of Shanghai.


Wutong Area "Laokele" Walk: Focusing on Wukang Road and its surroundings, this tour allows visitors to deeply explore landmark buildings such as the Wukang Mansion, listen to stories of celebrities and architecture, and experience the historical charm of this century-old neighborhood.


Old Town Cultural Walk: Covering traditional blocks like Yu Garden and City God Temple, this experience offers explorations of classical gardens and Taoist culture, along with tea ceremonies and local snacks—immersing guests in the authentic atmosphere of Old Shanghai.


Red History Trail: Includes memorial sites such as the former sites of the First to Fourth National Congresses of the Communist Party of China and Sihang Warehouse, commemorating Shanghai’s role in modern Chinese history.

Shanghai | Hu Shang Xin He Restaurant.

Shanghai | Hu Shang Xin He Restaurant.

Signature Drunken Crab Before you even take a bite, the aroma of the aged Huadiao wine hits you. The wine's fragrance is completely infused into the crab, which is plump and filled with rich, succulent meat. It's incredibly delicious. Grandma's Braised Pork The braised pork has a perfect balance of fat and lean meat. The fatty part melts in your mouth without being greasy, and the lean part is tender and springy. The thick sauce coats every piece of meat, delivering a savory and sweet taste that reminds you of childhood. Jade Shrimp Delight The shrimp are as translucent as jade beads, with a bouncy texture in every bite. The golden crab roe adds an extraordinary flavor. This must-try Shanghainese restaurant offers dishes that are simply delightful. Make sure to gather your friends and head over soon.

Columbia O: A magical bookstore

Columbia Circle is a heritage building complex located in Yan’an area. Tsutaya Bookstore is a very popular Japanese bookstore. Located in the center of the buildings complex, and resembling more a museum than a contemporary bookstore. This is the only Tsutaya Bookstore in Shanghai. Tsutaya offers two floors of coffee shops (3), a small crafts and many books to buy from. Architecture is breathtaking. Terrace was close in our visit. To enter the bookstore you need to make reservation, don’t be surprised if next available spot is in a week time. If you come early in a rainy day, maybe will be able to enter without waiting (like us). 📍 Yan'an West Road 1262 Haonan 90 Meters, Changning #dessert #criskotsu #shanghaistyle #dessert/afternoontea #shanghai #cityoverlook #cityneversleeps #citylife #coffeelover #coffeeshop #coffeehouse #coffee #artgallery #architecture #oldarchitecture #oldshanghai #oldshanghaistyle #oldarchitecture #europeanarchitecture #restaurant #weekend #weekendrecommendations #bookstore #bookshop #books #hipsterbookstore#summervacation#urbanexplorer

A Visit to the Shanghai Museum East Branch (Part 4): Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasty Bronzes

A Visit to the Shanghai Museum East Branch (Part 4): Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasty Bronzes

The Shanghai Museum East Branch, located on Century Avenue in Pudong New District, Shanghai, officially opened to the public in December of last year. The museum houses 20 exhibition halls, including eight permanent exhibition halls: the Bronze Gallery, Calligraphy Gallery, Painting Gallery, Seal Carving Gallery, Ceramics Gallery, Currency Gallery, Sculpture Gallery, and Jade Gallery. All exhibits are arranged chronologically according to ancient Chinese history, showcasing a comprehensive collection of artifacts from various periods. Each permanent exhibition hall is a "museum sanctuary" in its respective field. This post highlights the exquisite bronzes from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties displayed in the *Ancient Chinese Bronzes* exhibition hall on the 1st floor of the Shanghai Museum East Branch: 1️⃣ Forbidden-to-leave-the-country artifacts (Figures 2 & 3) ⭐⭐ Dake Ding (Large Ke Cauldron) from the Western Zhou Dynasty Considered one of the "Three Treasures within the Seas," along with the Dayu Ding and Maogong Ding, this cauldron was unearthed in Renjia Village, Famen Town, Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province. The inscription of 290 characters inside the cauldron records Ke's praise for his ancestor Shi Hua Fu, as well as the Zhou king's decree and rewards bestowed upon Ke. ⭐⭐ Set of Jin Hou Su Bells from the Western Zhou Dynasty Unearthed from Tomb No. 8 in Beizhao Village, Quwo County, Shanxi Province, this set originally consisted of 16 bells. The Shanghai Museum houses 14, while the Shanxi Museum houses the remaining two. The bells are consistent in size and shape, and their inscriptions can be combined to form a coherent text. This text records Jin Hou Su's participation in the Zhou king's expedition against the Suyi people in the east, filling a gap in historical records. 2️⃣ Late Xia Dynasty Bronzes (Figures 4-6) ⭐ Inlaid Cross-patterned Yue Axe The circular hole of this square axe is inlaid with two rows of turquoise string patterns, with two rows of cross patterns in between. The arrangement is neat, orderly, and varied, demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship. ⭐ Inlaid Animal Mask Plaque ⭐ Waisted Jue Wine Vessel, Jue Wine Vessel with Nipple-shaped Decoration, Beaded Jia Wine Vessel, and Single-winged Bell 3️⃣ Shang Dynasty Bronzes (Figures 7-12) ⭐ Zun Wine Vessel with Bull Head and Animal Mask Design ⭐ Yafang Lei Wine Vessel ⭐ Siyangshou Bu Jar with Four Ram Heads ⭐ Dragon-patterned Ding Cauldron with Flat Feet ⭐ Xiaocheng You Wine Vessel ⭐ Jia Wine Vessel with Animal Mask Design, Fu Yi Yu Wine Vessel, Huang Zhi Wine Vessel, and Pig-shaped You Wine Vessel 4️⃣ Western Zhou Dynasty Bronzes (Figures 13-18) ⭐ Fu Yi Gong Wine Vessel This vessel has a unique and solemn shape, featuring characteristics of various animals. Its ornate decoration reflects the exquisite bronze casting techniques of the Western Zhou Dynasty. ⭐ E Shu Gui Food Container ⭐ De Ding Cauldron ⭐ Lu Hou Zun Wine Vessel, Mu Gui Yan Steamer, Jin Hou Dui Xu Food Container, and Zhong Yi Fu Yi Wine Vessel ⭐ Ren Gui Food Container, Jia Gui Food Container, Peng Sheng Gui Food Container, and Sihu Bo Bell with Four Tigers ⭐ Shi Ju Fang Yi Ritual Vessel, Gui Gu Fang Zun Wine Vessel, Hou Chao Fang Ding Cauldron, and Elephant Head and Animal Patterned Yue Axe All photos were taken by me.

Shanghai's most endearing road—Happiness Road

Shanghai's most endearing road—Happiness Road

🎊When I happened to pass by this Happiness Road, I was surprised at such a straightforward road name. This road, more than 600 meters long, starts from Fahua Town Road in the south and ends at Pingwu Road in the north. Most of the buildings on both sides of the road are residential, many of which are named after 'happiness': 'Happiness Community', 'Happiness 268', 'Happiness Lane'... So much 'happiness' converges on this road . 🎊The ultimate goal of life should be happiness, right? Freedom, health, giving, receiving, money, love, success... How can we achieve the happiness we always want? Sachiko Kobayashi sings in the song 'Happiness': 'There are two roads to happiness: One is to fulfill all wishes, The other is to give up all wishes.' Neither of these roads is easy! As a person without great ambitions, I prefer those small but certain happiness that can be found anytime and anywhere, just as Haruki Murakami wrote in his essay collection 'Afternoon on Langerhans Island': 'Touch your pocket and find that there is actually money; the phone rings, pick it up and find it is the person you just missed; the thing you plan to buy just happens to be on sale; perfectly crack open an egg... They are the small luck and joy in life, the fleeting beauty flowing in every moment of life, the tolerance and satisfaction in the heart, the gratitude and cherish for life'. .

Shanghai Disneyland 🌟🔥🌈

Just came back from Shanghai (whole trip booked on Trip.com). I highly recommend everyone to go Shanghai Disneyland!!! There is a newly opened zone of Zootopia (will post about more pics soon), and many wonderful Disney characters including Marvel! Dont miss the character parade at 12:00pm and 15:00, also the amazing fireworks at 20:00 and 21:00. I think the fireworks were the most worthy and memorable things we experienced in the park! Remember to download the official app before going to check the map and queue time. The queuing time was crazy, we went on a weekday (Monday) and still fill of crowd, waiting up to 90min for one play😂😅 I also recommend to hire a photographer to take photos of the precious moments. We booked it on trip.com and the photographer contacted us through WeChat. Remember to check the weather too and bring umbrella or raincoat. We were drenched in the sudden rain😂 Also the classic Disney songs are all in Chinese, you may find it interesting while listening. #disneyland #Shanghai #winhkflight I want to go Hong Kong to explore the Disneyland there🙌🏻🙌🏻

Workaholic!!

#shanghaitrip Probably this could be a place that aptly suits the word "workaholic" just because of the history of this place and what it is today. WeWork being one of the go to places for digital nomads and freelancers, this place situated close to the West Nanjing station 🚉 was a opium factory back in the days 🙈 for real !! So the place, that once probably produced some alcoholics is now rooting for workaholics 😜 I had the pleasure of visiting this place multiple times, and all the amenities were so good. And a perfect ambiance for letting your creative juices to flow (pun intended!! 😝) #urbanexplorer#tripblazers#awesomepic
