Visitors looking to experience Old Shanghai can head for Shanghai Laojie, and the nearby Fangbang Middle Road. The former was originally named Miaoqian for its banks, jewellers, restaurants and theaters. It brings visitors on a fascinating journey through the past. Meanwhile, Fangbang Middle Road features late Ming Dynasty architecture. The street has an ancient bridge and the area exudes traditional folk culture.

Then there is Guanyi Street, with its buildings from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China period.
