The Shanghai historic town is very nice. For tourists but also for other people. There are a lot of Chinese people here. The shops are interesting, sometimes funny. Really nice place.

The building are beautiful to look at and is a brilliant place to go shopping and pick up souvenirs!

With all the shops here you really could spend a lot of time if you're into shopping. The area is very crowded and a someone else mentioned, this is the place to barter. They really do come down a lot.

You step into a history book / fairy tale china experience. Went to this place twice during my short stay in shanghai, and i am not a person that likes to repeat a place during travel.

It's surrounded by old time China with beautiful architecture and many shops selling everything from food to souvenirs. It has a wonderful Tea House and a beautiful Garden as well, both are a must if this is your first visit.

This place is great to see the old city and the way to do bargaining in the stores. Start with very low offer. if they say 250 yuan, you say 20 yuan and hit them with your best shot, they will come down a lot

We went here as part of a Nexus tour - and it was without doubt THE best shopping venue they took us to. It looks and feels amazing. The vendors are not a pushy as the ones at the "Tourist Market" they take you to....More
