Tianzifang French Concession Shanghai China
Tianzifang has transformed itself from legacy residential architectures and factories into an artsy area housing bars, cafes, crafts shops, design studios, galleries and boutiques. It is ardently supported by crowds of yuppies, trend setters, designers and expatriates, who fall for temptation of old Shikumen houses (stone-framed-door houses) and lanes with infinite novelties.
The development of Tianzifang is fairly recent. It is also known as Taikang Road which was a back street in Dapuqiao district. One of the Shanghai highlights is the old residential buildings called ‘shikumen’, literally ‘stone doors’, which reflects a confluence of architectural tastes. As a prized treaty port, Shanghai had been familiar to venturers since the mid-19th Century. By the 1920-1930s, housing with stone doorframes and solid wooden doors are commonly known as Shikumen. People adopted simple engravings on the stone frames. Taikang Road area was built up by the French Concession expansion. Apart from Shikumen buildings, there are also French style remainders. The distinctive scenes and architectural composition in Taikang Road denotes the city’s eventful history. In the 1930s, white-collar workers, including doctors, artists, competent seafarers and bank officers preferred to settle down here. It is equivalent to prosperous uptown of nowadays. Many influential artists in early 20th Century treat this region as their home.
Tianzifang enclave has expanded from Lane 210 to Lane 248. It is called the SOHO in Shanghai, and a nest for 29 art and design studios, 58 crafts shops and galleries, 65 antique shops and some boutiques, etc. Many coffee shops, bars, tea houses, and silk shops here are operated by an international mix of owners. They are imbedded either in the modern lanes, castles of Spanish or British styles, or the Shikumen buildings. Restaurants here are small but offer various delicious foods from many countries, such as Thai food, New York steak and burger, grill, Japanese sushi, French goose liver, cheese hot pot…
Like Xintiandi, Tianzifang is one of a small number of old Shanghai shikumen buildings. The difference is the vivid live atmosphere stimulated from Tianzifang. The original buildings are still intact, true to the authentic features of the lanes in Shanghai, with Shikumen architecture to the fore. There are over 20 varieties of well-preserved shikumen buildings in Tianzifang, whose types and completeness rank with the best in the city. Many original residents still live in the narrow lanes. Please be mindful and respect their privacy. Both visitors and local residents deserve a respite in these acres.
Tianzifang is a vanguard of creative expressions. Every boutique shines with flashes of wit and creativity with one of a kind handmade novelty items. Tourists from overseas sit outside a café, while inhabitants hurry by. Most old walls are used as panels to exhibit latest elaborate doodles in bright colors. Tianzifang survives the surrounding city demolition by working in art. Its preservation is significant for the city’s cultural heritage.

Black Girl in China | Vlog #4: Shanghai | Corgi Cafe, Tianzifang, & Shanghai Art Museum
I have not been doing as much traveling because the “study” in study abroad finally kicked in. Got the chance to go to Hello Corgi, which is the cutest Corgi Cafe in Shanghai. Also, took a short class trip to Tianzifang. They say it is the SOHO of Shanghai. Lots of alleyways, little shops, and art. Finally, I went to the Shanghai Art Museum. It was gorgeous and there is a new live exhibit that is supposed to depict what everyday life was like along the Li River during the Song Dynasty. LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE for more content!

Amazing TAIWANESE Breakfast at Taoyuan Village + Tian Zi Fang Market | Shanghai, China
In 2015, I had the pleasure of touring three of China’s most incredible cities (Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi’an) with my father. I fell in love with the country. Four years later, in April of 2019, I went back solo for a job and extended my trip so I could properly explore Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. I can’t wait to share my adventures with you and hopefully inspire you to visit these amazing cities, too!
On the morning of my third full day in Shanghai, I headed off to Taoyun Village to have an amazing Taiwanese breakfast
Back in 1949, a lot of Chinese people emigrated to Taiwan and created military villages and made their own cuisine with ingredients from the island. I couldn’t wait to try these dishes!
I headed off to an upscale diner in the SML Center, a mall about 15 minutes from People’s Square. There were lots of dishes to choose from, so I went with a set menu for 120 Yuan/roughly $17.45 U.S. It came with soymilk, Chinese churros, rice rolls with pork floss and cucumber, tofu with seaweed and pork fat, and crab meat dumplings.
I started with the churro and dipped it into the soymilk. The churro was very flaky, oily, and airy and I loved the soymilk. You can also break up the churro and let it soak in the soymilk and eat it like cereal. It’s so good and so filling!
Then I jumped on the crab meat dumplings because they get cold fast. I tried it with a spicy chili sauce. The crab meat was delicious and the dumplings contained a bit of soup inside. The dough was fantastic and the meat was super fresh. There was also vinegar as a dipping sauce, but I preferred the chili!
The rice roll was wrapped in saran wrap. I dipped it in a glazy sauce. The roll was like a sushi hand roll. I loved the herbs, pork, cucumbers, and a lot of sticky rice. The pork was crispy and flaky. The sauce was outstanding!
Then I went with the soymilk skin with pork and seaweed. It was a little spicy and the soymilk skin had a flavor similar to tofu. It was a little different texture- and flavor-wise. It almost had the consistency of a runny egg at times. There were big chunks of pork in it. It was incredible and so different. If you love tofu, you’ll love this dish!
Then I went back to the second half of my rice and pork hand roll. I dipped it into the chili sauce from the dumplings. It was so delicious and filling!
I headed back outside to take a look at the souvenir shops. There were lots of cool things inside. There are lots of ceramic goods there, and I got a koi picture for my wife. There were lots of other unique, hand-made things there that I wanted. They were beautiful!
I continued on throughout the retail area, past other souvenir shops and clothing shops. There’s never-ending commercial space in Shanghai. I reached an open-air market called Tian Zi Fang Market and looked for some Chinese jerseys for my nephews. I also found some cool statues of dragons and copper frogs that bring good fortune.
I also visited a cat café, where you can get a drink, feed the cats, and play with them. I continued through the market. The vendors were trying to sell me everything! There were more dragons and Buddhas and statues of superheroes like Wonder Woman!
I bought a panda stuffed animal for my daughter for 85 Yuan, or about $12 U.S. If you come here, you have to know what you’re looking for beforehand, or you’ll lose your mind. There’s so much to see there! What an awesome morning in Shanghai!
I hope you loved this video of my Taiwanese breakfast and Tian Zi Fang Market visit in Shanghai! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel food adventures!

Tianzifang French Concession Shanghai Shopping| China Vlog_03
Tianzifang French Concession Shanghai Shopping | China Vlog_03
This is Tianzifang, in the French Concession area of Shanghai for shopping. It consists of arty, hip alleyways and streets, shops, restaurants, bars, design studios, craft shops and street food. The word Tianzifang or Tian Zifang comes from the earliest recorded painter in China. A local, more recent artist named the area by adding 'fang' meaning mill, quarter or lane or workshop. The industrial architecture is still intact in the refurbished area you see today. Tianzifang is a amazing labyrinth and blend of old architecture, streets and alley ways mixing the old and new architecture and facilities.
Tianzifang written on it was hung over the entrance of Lane 210 in 2002.

Family Clips - Tian Zi Fang, Shanghai
Family day visit to Tian Zi Fang.
Enjoying the sights, scents and vibe of this trendy maze of alleyways, famously known for its arts and crafts.
It was also a chance for me and my wife to visit the shop where I got my first ever gift for her!
I particularly recommend visit Tian Zi Fang in the evening, where the alleyways bring an extra sense of magic and wonder.

•Some words
Here's a little something I filmed while on Christmas holidays in Shanghai- a touch of Europe in the middle of China's bustling city.
I didn't find the most touristy part of Tianzifang with the typical shikumen, but I enjoyed myself non the less.
