This is a cool area definitely worth checking out. We walked from our hotel, so a few miles away, but it was worth seeing. Some of the oldest architecture in Shanghai and really beautiful. Tons of shopping/food here as well.

We saw this area of the city on a half day bike tour with China Cycle tours. Ask for Ellen. Highly recommended (the tour and Ellen!) :)

Please Google "Shanghai Scam" if you are visiting. This area was really cool. The architecture and tree lined streets were really nice. The newer area that was just refurbished felt very Western but still in Shanghai. It's by the Paulaner restaurant. If felt weird eating and drinking German food in Shanghai but after a few days of Chinese food it was a nice change. The whole area around this was pretty nice.

5/5 - Excellent

Mansions have been turned into smart retail along tree-lined streets. Try PainChaud (next to Starbucks) on West JianGuo for delicious French pastries, breads, sandwiches. Closest Metro stop is Jiashan Road on Line 9 (not Line 1 as mentioned on incorrect tourist info).
