Shanghai Xintiandi (Ma Dang Road)

Some people say that Shanghai Xintiandi is like Beijing's Sanlitun. There seems to be some truth to this, but compared to Beijing's Sanlitun, Shanghai Xintiandi, a place full of petty bourgeoisie flavor, still gives me a more formal feeling.

After getting off the subway and walking to Xintiandi, the first thing I saw was STARBUCKS. The entrance was packed, and from time to time I'd see a few handsome foreigners in suits, carrying briefcases, wearing waxed hair, and wearing designer watches. Their elegance caught my eye, giving me a whiff of the big-city workplace vibe I'd just arrived in Shanghai. I ordered my favorite Frappuccino and strolled into Xintiandi.

Xintiandi, renovated from Shanghai's unique Shikumen (Shikumen) architecture, is an urban tourist attraction embodying Shanghai's historical and cultural heritage, blending Eastern and Western elements. To put it simply, the cost of coffee here is Starbucks, which is probably one of the cheaper options. Walking into Xintiandi, I noticed the price tags at several shops, but I couldn't find any coffee cheaper than Starbucks, let alone Western food.

It was my first time in Shanghai, so I took a walk around here and was quite impressed. In terms of architectural style, the old Shiku has an industrial style. It is a good place to take photos. Unfortunately, I was alone at the moment, and the selfie stick could not satisfy me.

When you walk to the end of Xintiandi, you will see alleys like this extending on both sides. I took a photo when there was no one around. I was thinking that if I had come here at night, the photos would have been even better.

Shanghai Xintiandi is an urban tourist attraction that combines Shanghai's historical and cultural features with a fusion of Chinese and Western elements. Shanghai Xintiandi is based on the old Shikumen building district, a symbol of Shanghai's modern architecture.

For the first time, the original residential function of Shikumen apartments has been transformed, innovatively imbued with commercial functions. This aging community, reflecting Shanghai's history and culture, has been transformed into a fashionable, leisure, cultural, and entertainment center featuring dining, shopping, and performing arts. Strolling through Xintiandi feels like stepping back in time, transporting you to the Shanghai of the 1920s and 1930s. However, once you step inside each building, you'll discover a distinctly modern and stylish atmosphere, allowing you to experience Xintiandi's unique concept firsthand. This organic combination and cleverly arranged layout create a symphony of Shanghai's past, future, and present, allowing visitors from home and abroad to savor its unique culture.

LeTAO dessert shop in Shanghai Xintiandi, the first store of Otaru pastry shop in Hokkaido, Japan opened in China, is a temple of worship for foodies.

Japanese Western-style pastries are learned from France, and the names of Western-style pastry shops are mostly in French. The name of the Otaru Western-style pastry shop in Hokkaido, LeTAO, comes from the French "La Tour Amitié Otaru", which means the dear tower of Otaru.

LeTAO's set meal for 3-4 people is 399 yuan, which includes 4 cakes, 4 cheeses, 3 ice creams, 2 pies (Huo Tu Zi), 6 cookies, and a pot of black tea.

Latest news! Another LeTAO has opened in Nanjing.

Xintiandi is a bit like Beijing Wang, with all kinds of restaurants and bars scattered along this street. It's also quite convenient to find the Xintiandi Fashion Mall not far away.

Shanghai Xintiandi is an urban tourist attraction that embodies Shanghai's historical and cultural heritage, blending Eastern and Western elements. It is based on the Shikumen (Shikumen) residential area, a symbol of modern Shanghai architecture. Prior to the Xintiandi development, the area was home to nearly a century-old Shikumen alleyway. Emerging in the mid-19th century, the Shikumen architecture bears a deep historical imprint, a fusion of Eastern and Western influences that epitomizes modern Shanghai's history and culture. However, with the city's continuous development, the once-prominent Shikumen no longer meet residential needs and has gradually faded from the historical stage. Experts have worriedly predicted that the authentic Shikumen architecture will disappear in Shanghai in the 21st century. The exposed brick walls of Shikumen buildings are a hallmark of this architectural style. To emphasize the historical significance, the designers decided to retain the original bricks and tiles. Modern amenities, including underground fiber optic cabling and air conditioning systems, have been added to the old structures to ensure enhanced functionality and reliability. Today, Xintiandi has become a new landmark in Shanghai.

It seems that Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is more fun~~

Have food and clothes, have past, present and future

The bar is not bad, not far from the Bund

Lots of foreigners

My friends insist on eating Chinese food during the Spring Festival

I have been looking for a long time

Western food, Spanish food, Italian food, various desserts and coffee



But... I didn't see any Chinese food.

There are two reasons for choosing this place: 1. Before leaving, three or more friends recommended it to me;

2. It's all about the delicious food. Remember when I said this morning on Wujiang Road that it looked like Tokyo's Omotesando? Doesn't Shinsekai look even more like it?

Shanghai Xintiandi, renovated from the distinctive Shikumen (Shikumen) architecture of the old district, is a vibrant urban tourist destination showcasing Shanghai's historical and cultural heritage, blending Eastern and Western influences. It is divided into the North and South neighborhoods. The North neighborhood comprises several old Shikumen houses, while the South neighborhood features primarily modern architecture supplemented by older Shikumen structures. It is also home to a diverse shopping district, including high-end restaurants, internationally renowned brands, fashion stores, and accessories shops.

The shops in Xintiandi are very stylish and uniquely decorated, making it more like an exhibition. Every item on display is valuable and not suitable for people who shop with a specific purpose. This may be the difference between Shanghai and Beijing. The Magic City is petty bourgeoisie and elegant, while the Imperial City is practical and down-to-earth.

Went to Xintiandi to have lunch, take some photos and show off.

This lunch was delicious. My daughter picked it, called New Elements, and I ordered a few vegetarian dishes, which were excellent.

Shanghai Xintiandi North is very artistic and good for taking photos.

There is a pedestrian-only lane between the north and south streets, where I took over a hundred photos.

Xintiandi is a fashionable, entertainment, and shopping destination in Shanghai, attracting many foreigners and urban professionals for leisure. It is even more crowded at night.

A fashionable landmark, positioned as Beijing's Sanlitun

The alleys of Xintiandi are my favorite slightly industrial style in Jiangnan

There are a lot of bars there, and I went there often during my time in Shanghai.

It is a very bourgeois place with all kinds of Western restaurants and cafes, and the Shikumen-style buildings are also very attractive.

Xintiandi is a youthful and fashionable shopping center in Shanghai, not far from People's Square. There is a major congress site and a large intestine noodle restaurant nearby, which is worth a visit.

Recommended index: three stars.

Xintiandi is a place that combines Chinese and Western architecture. It's a bit like Shanghai from the 1930s, with old buildings transformed into shopping and dining centers. There are many high-end Western restaurants on both sides, but the prices are prohibitive. Just take a look and then leave!

The street view is still very beautiful. The small alleys on the corners are all made of red brick houses, which feel quite old. There are many such small alleys on the corners, and the narrow alleys extend to the end of the road. In the bustling city of Shanghai, there are still so many unique scenes that are really refreshing. It is as quiet and comfortable as the alleys in Tianzifang. After living in the fast pace of the city for a long time, sometimes slowing down to look at the inconspicuous alleys around you will also have a unique flavor.

It is divided into Beili and Nanli. Beili consists of many old Shikumen houses and has many high-end consumption places and restaurants.

Nanli is mainly composed of modern buildings, supplemented by old Shikumen buildings

Xintiandi



Xintiandi needs no introduction; its fame is undeniable. Indeed, it's a must-visit fashion destination in Shanghai. If you're lucky, you might even catch a meet-and-greet with Hollywood stars.



When playing in Shanghai, you must immerse yourself in it and take in fashion, food, celebrity chasing and art to experience the charm of the city!



🔽Picture below: "Doctor Strange" premiere meeting

Xintiandi has a European style, especially at night when it is mostly filled with bars and foreign restaurants. It really has a great feel to it, but unfortunately I can't capture it in photos.

The bar is a place suitable for people of all moods to go. Those who are in a good mood can go to the bar, and those who are in a bad mood can temporarily forget their troubles. Cheerful people will feel at ease, while dull people will become excited. I seem to be the same as usual, neither too excited nor too boring.

Shanghai's hottest bar street is worth a visit

I went to Xintiandi back in October 2013. Five years later, I recall the scene back then. The Shikumen commercial district, a blend of Eastern and Western architecture, became a must-see destination. The side signs and lampposts interspersed with the Shikumen doors were particularly stylish. Outside the Shikumen, the street was lined with casual, cozy international cafes. Seeing so many international friends at the time reinforced Xintiandi's sense of being a cosmopolitan city! The friendly conversation, the diverse and exciting street music, and the incredibly polite waiters all revealed a sense of community and a sense of well-being. So, I've always had a great impression of this place, and I'm looking forward to visiting again this year.

Shanghai Xintiandi is a tourist attraction that embodies Shanghai's historical and cultural features, blending Eastern and Western elements. It offers a wide range of shopping, leisure activities, and delicious food. The atmosphere is also very pleasant in the evenings, perfect for gathering with friends and chatting.

When I went there that day, there happened to be a performance by a foreign art troupe, and I could clearly feel the artistic and cultural atmosphere of the metropolis.

I personally feel that Xintiandi is very average, a very common place. Many people come here to check in when they come to Shanghai for tourism. Maybe it is not as exciting as before, or maybe I haven’t discovered the excitement yet. In short, I personally feel that this is not a must-visit attraction.

Xintiandi is a place with some niche brands. There is a Zang Zang Tea shop with a very long queue.

I was browsing a clothing store and came across an interview with over a dozen people using SLR cameras.

But I don’t know who it is, but I came across Linecafe and checked in to prove that female doctors have the same girlish heart as other girls.

A more casual place with many western-style restaurants and a good environment. It is suitable for eating and drinking in the evening. Most of the restaurants are over 100 yuan per person.

Xintiandi is a leisure and entertainment complex with Shikumen buildings as its main body and European style. It brings together a variety of bars, restaurants and nightclubs and is one of Shanghai's new landscapes.

It is a commercial landmark in Shanghai and a fashionable area where Shanghai's history and modernity blend seamlessly. Although it is also a renovated old Shanghai alley, it is more spacious and has a modern feel. At night, every restaurant in Xintiandi is packed. Eating steak while listening to violin music is also an ultimate enjoyment, but the prices are very high.

Xintiandi is similar to Nanjing's 1912 Block. It is a world for young people, a place for leisure and entertainment, and there are still many places suitable for taking photos. Ladies who like taking photos can go and have a look. However, I personally think that if you are short on time, you can skip it. If you want to go, take Metro Line 10 and get off at Xintiandi Metro Station.

Western food, bar, foreigners

The Western food here is really delicious

(I brought an American guy here before and he said it was good.) The cost of living here is not low.

It's a place with a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere. You can get there by strolling.

I passed by a restaurant in Xintiandi and noticed a lot of foreign tourists dining there. The First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was also held there, but we arrived too late and it was already closed. I didn't expect the somewhat solemn First National Congress to be located in the fashionable Xintiandi.

It really is a foreigner's street~ a high-end neighborhood~

Similar to Sanlitun in Beijing, western food + clothing. Nothing special.

Xintiandi is a mix of department stores and historic buildings, giving it a relaxed atmosphere. The Korean Provisional Government building isn't worth visiting unless you're a big fan of South Korea, but the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a bit more personal. The buildings themselves are quite nice, and an hour is more than enough for a visit if you don't buy or eat.

Xintiandi also has alley culture. Compared with Tianzifang, it has more Shikumen buildings, and the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China is also nearby.

The buildings in Xintiandi are neater than those in Tianzifang because many of them were rebuilt later. Although they lack a sense of antiquity, they are still stunning in terms of architecture.

There are relatively few small shops in Xintiandi, most of them are coffee shops and Western restaurants.

Entering Xintiandi, the first thing you see are food and clothing stores. Xintiandi's style is quite suitable for taking photos, and there are many people.

Arriving at Xintiandi from Xinhua Road and Wukang Road, the modern atmosphere becomes more pronounced. While there are still historical buildings, they seem to be somewhat detracted from the classical charm by the modern surroundings. But Xintiandi is, after all, a unique place, with clean streets, clear skies, and classic architecture. Any photo is beautiful.

My favorite place to walk in Shanghai~~~ It has a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere, is artistic and fresh. As long as it is not crowded on weekends and Fridays, you can walk around, eat and shop, and an afternoon will pass~~~

Located in the heart of Shanghai, Xintiandi (Xintiandi·Shanghai) is an urban tourist attraction showcasing Shanghai's historical and cultural heritage. Renovated from Shanghai's distinctive Shikumen (Shikumen) residential district, it has been transformed into a leisurely pedestrian street integrating dining, commerce, entertainment, and culture. Utilizing a fusion of East and West, and a blend of old and new, it blends Shanghai's traditional Shikumen alleyways with modern new architecture.

Xintiandi is a pedestrian street redeveloped from Shanghai's distinctive Shikumen (Shikumen) district. It's divided into two sections: South and North. South is dominated by modern architecture, while North is home to older Shikumen structures. Bars, fashion, European-style architecture, and a vibrant cultural atmosphere permeate every corner. The site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China is also located here, a classic example of Shikumen architecture.

The Shikumen houses where people used to live have been well preserved, where you can experience the laziness of the afternoon and the hustle and bustle of the night.

A place where old and new cultures merge, where you can have afternoon tea and relax.

.........Like the famous shopping malls in major cities, the exterior makes you think the items inside are very expensive.

A place that satisfies your desire for petty bourgeoisie life

I came to Xintiandi to eat. My friend chose the restaurant - Huangting, which I highly recommend. It serves the best Thai food I have ever had.

We are in the shopping mall, we are here to see the Doraemon exhibition, our childishness is overflowing, haha

Although I came during the day, there were still many tourists. I just had a bite to eat and a cup of coffee.

It's actually a pedestrian street, renovated from Shanghai's distinctive Shikumen (Shikumen) architecture, making it a great place for photos. Strolling through the Xintiandi shopping mall reveals a wealth of stylish boutiques.

Xintiandi and Laowai Street are places to meet friends in Shanghai, suitable for eating, drinking, bragging, chatting and pretending to be cool.

It may not be my type of place, but I have to say that at night this place is really like Xintiandi, crowded with people, not many people are shopping, all are here to go to the bar to drink, of course there are also many foreigners who come to hook up, when we were drinking we saw a suspected target appear behind us... I have been here to consume twice, of course both times were for food and beverages, the prices are acceptable, a glass of wine or tea is about 60 to 90, but tea does not have refills. As for imported beer, it is better not to order it, the Amazon beer we ordered is basically a three-no product, it is better to order some Budweiser or Tsingtao. In short, if you like hunting for beauties, don't come here unless you are a foreigner or very rich, this is not a place for losers.

Shanghai Xintiandi is a tourist attraction that embodies Shanghai's historical and cultural heritage, blending Eastern and Western elements. Its blue-brick walkways, red and green brick walls, heavy black-lacquered gates, and lintels carved with Baroque-style scrollwork evoke a nostalgic feeling, making it a perfect spot for a bike ride. At night, Xintiandi takes on a unique charm, showcasing Shanghai's artistic and bourgeois side.

Xintiandi is built around Shikumen (Shikumen) buildings, and the shops are mostly open-air restaurants catering to international tastes. Almost every table is lit by candlelight and shop lights. However, these restaurants fill up in the evening, taking away from the tranquil atmosphere. Xintiandi isn't a specific location, but rather a commercial street surrounded by several large shopping malls, where prices are quite high. We even stumbled upon the VeraWang bridal boutique in Xintiandi, which was a pleasant surprise, but the five- to six-figure prices were a bit shocking.

The buildings are very modern and the consumption level is very high, but you can go shopping and leave, because Tianzifang is not far away. Xintiandi is a good place to take photos and show off, especially when you go with your girlfriends, all kinds of poses, all kinds of

A place with nightlife, full of energy, where young people can go and experience it!

I went to Xintiandi four times in 2009, 2010, 2016 and 2017. The first time I went there, I had afternoon tea here.

The night view of Xintiandi is so stunning and alluring; it's a must-see. My workplace used to be nearby, but I'd never even ventured there. This Lunar New Year holiday, I made a special trip to see it, and it's even more beautiful at night. It's perfect for photos and bar-hopping. There are plenty of shopping malls nearby, so you can explore during the day and then grab a drink with friends in the evening. The hazy night view is truly intoxicating.

I went there originally for the Shikumen (Shikumen) shops, but the commercialization has clearly impacted the architecture. It's just the same old shops in different buildings in different cities across China. The products lack local flavor, but the crowds are incredible. Experience the most expensive land in Shanghai, Western food, bars, Southeast Asian cuisine, and a variety of ice cream and coffee. If it were a less crowded time, it would be a great place to spend money.

I feel like the most fun place in Shanghai, where art and business are perfectly combined.

Xintiandi, renovated from the old Shanghai Shikumen alleys, is a must-see for tourists. It feels like a blend of Beijing's Nanluoguxiang and Sanlitun, with modern dining and shopping alongside memorable ancient architecture. In the afternoon, I took Line 10 from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street for three stops and arrived at Xintiandi. It's a pleasant stroll with my camera, and when I get tired, it's a pleasant place to sit down and have a drink. There are many girls taking street photos in the alleys. The afternoon light is warm, so it should be even more beautiful when the light softens around 4 or 5 p.m.

There is a bar street. It is recommended to go to the bar at night. There is a pastry shop with good croissants, but I forgot its name.

Located in the heart of Shanghai, Xintiandi, a renovated residential complex from the old Shikumen alleyways, has become a highly developed area. It's divided into North Lane and South Lane. The "Xintiandi Fashion" district has opened on the south side. It boasts cinemas, bars, restaurants, and shopping malls, offering a wide variety of bar experiences. It's a must-see for both Chinese and international tourists, with convenient access to Metro Lines 1 and 10.

The business district is also accompanied by the ancient style of small Western-style buildings, which is worth exploring.

Xintiandi's architectural style is European. The experience of taking photos while riding a small yellow car is very good! It is a five-minute bike ride and a ten-minute walk from the Shanghai Museum. There is also the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China nearby.

It took me a while to find it. It was actually the same place going around in circles. The place was very small and right next to the Xintiandi shopping mall. To be honest, there wasn't much to see.

take me to shanghai lalalallaallalalaalallaalalal

It is a very suitable place for afternoon tea or dinner. It retains the original appearance of Shanghai's alleys and has many unique boutiques, a bit like Sanlitun in Beijing.

The main reason for coming here is to visit the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, a good place to receive historical baptism and revolutionary education.
