Shanghai's Faded Internet Celebrity CityWalk Spots

Come, come, come, today follow Uncle Ning to explore those faded internet celebrity CityWalk routes in Shanghai! Today, we will stroll from the literary and retro Tianzifang to the trendy and fashionable Hengji Xuhui Tiandi, and experience a transformation of the times! ✨

📍First Stop: Tianzifang 🎨
Wandering through the maze-like alleys, Tianzifang is like an old photo of Shanghai, with every brick and tile telling a story. The small shops here hide the craftsmanship of countless artisans, from vintage accessories to creative coffee, and snacks from all over the country, ensuring that your taste buds and eyes will never be satisfied!
Seeing Tianzifang now is quite heartbreaking. The place I once loved has really become so uninteresting. Because Tianzifang is a free attraction, it has become a must-visit place for low-cost tour groups, turning the entire Tianzifang into a Yiwu small commodity market.

📍Second Stop: Hengji Xuhui Tiandi 🏙️
With a turn, it feels like traveling to the future. Hengji Xuhui Tiandi, with its unique red and green architectural appearance, has become a popular check-in spot in Shanghai.
Walking on the skywalk, every step is a scenery. Whether taking photos or strolling, you can feel the full sense of sophistication and design.
But now the vacancy rate in Xuhui Tiandi is very high, with the first and second basement floors almost entirely vacant, which is quite regrettable. Even the remaining shops have increased their group purchase packages, and the overall property management of the mall feels poor, quite dirty and messy.

Half a day's time, from the gentleness of the old times to the flamboyance of the new era, the collision of Tianzifang and Hengji Xuhui Tiandi, can it revive the once-popular internet celebrities?
