Former French Concession in Shanghai 🏘️✨

#hellohalloween

Wandering through Shanghai’s Former French Concession feels like stepping back in time. Tree-lined streets, historic European-style villas, wrought-iron balconies, and cozy courtyards give the area a charming and romantic atmosphere far from the skyscrapers of the city center.

Cafés, boutiques, and galleries have found homes in these historic buildings, making it the perfect place to stroll, photograph, and soak in the city’s layered history. Whether it’s the colorful shutters or hidden alleyways, every corner tells a story.

🚇 How to get there
Take Metro Lines 1, 10, or 12 to South Shaanxi Road Station, then wander the streets to explore the heart of the French Concession.

💰 How much does it cost
Walking around and enjoying the architecture is free. Cafés and shops vary in price — a coffee typically costs 30–50 RMB (€4–6).
