Shanghainese little Italy

Getting There - the Shanghai Florentia Village Outlet is located about 1 km from Line 2 Yuandong Avenue station: there is a shuttle bus departing every 5 minutes from the subway station to the commercial village and back. Experience: it’s a nice day-escape from the busy life of downtown: if you are looking for a calm day in a cozy environment with a plus of plenty of shopping choices, cafes and restaurants, I think it’s the perfect spot. The place is built in an original classic italian architecture, with all its decorations, cornices and columns, marble and stones, it’s a dive into a real italian old town, that’s exactly the feeling. Big and small squares, characterized with water features and trees, connected by narrow pedestrian street, with porches on the sides that shelter from rain and sunshine, if you are not a sunshine lover. a monumental stair in the main square reminded me of the Italian “scalinata di Piazza di Spagna”, nice spot for selfies too. Food & Restaurants - Starbucks, Godiva, Venchi, and all kind of restaurant too, including a really tasty Italian restaurant too obviously. Family - in the south area there is also an entertaining center with attractions for kids and adults, VR and more Definitely a must go destination considering its connection to downtown and airport as well, and the services that they offer allowing you to spend a nice day different than anything else in Shanghai #shanghailife #italianstyle #shopping #familytime
