📝 1. Overview
Tianzifang (田子坊) is a vibrant maze of narrow lanes and traditional Shikumen houses turned into a creative haven for artists, designers, and curious wanderers. Tucked away in the former French Concession, this area has evolved from a quiet residential block into one of Shanghai’s most beloved art enclaves, packed with craft boutiques, studios, quirky cafés, galleries, and street food stalls. Despite its popularity, Tianzifang retains its authentic charm, with clotheslines overhead and locals still living upstairs.
