[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Colombia Circle (Updated Apr)

🎐Dingxi Road - Shangsheng News - Xinhua Road - Happiness Road - Hunan Road - Wukang Road - Fuxing West Road - Hengshan Road - Yueyang Road - Fenyang Road✌🏻 Actually, I walked this section in two days, but I didn't leave until two or three in the afternoon, so if you leave in the morning, you have plenty of time to finish in one day~ From Happiness Road to Hunan Road, it takes about 10 minutes by bike. There is no need for a fixed route for Shanghai's city walk, any road nearby is very good for shooting, and the recent weather could not be more suitable📸

Tsutaya Bookstore in Japan has also expanded into China! The first store in Shanghai is a renovated Western-style building with a history of about 100 years called Shangsheng Xinzuo (Columbia Circle). The original pillars and stairs have been used as they are, and the interior gives a sense of Shanghai's history. Stylish! Not only books but also tableware and art works are sold, and there is also a cafe, making it a relaxing space. There are many things related to Japan, such as Japanese magazines and Chinese translations of Japanese books, and I was a little impressed that Japanese works are loved in China. 📍Tsutaya Bookstore Shangsheng Xinzuo Store Address: 7 Shangsheng Xinzuo Building, No. 1262 Yan'an West Road, Changning District, Shanghai Business hours: 10:00-22:00 (Visited in May 2021) #Shangheng Tourism #Shangheng #Tsutaya Bookstore #China #China Travel #Bookstore

It's been so long since I last visited, and I didn't expect Phase 2 of Columbia Circle to be this amazing! The space has expanded significantly, with plenty of areas perfect for hosting markets. This time, I got to see many office buildings, bookstores, restaurants, and more. The bookstore is a cozy place with a café, a resting area, etc. The old Navy Club swimming pool is also much less crowded now! And the yogurt shop next to it—I absolutely love it. 📍 Columbia Circle, 1262 Yan'an West Road #discoverchina #shanghai

Columbia Circle can be traced back to the 1920s and 1930s. There are three historical buildings in the park: Columbia Country Club, Navy Club and its swimming pool, and Sun Ke Villa. The Navy Club swimming pool is a rare "British" outdoor swimming pool in Shanghai. The mosaic pattern of the swimming pool is well preserved, and the exterior pattern is clear. It's too cold, otherwise you can sit by the outdoor swimming pool and have a cup of coffee ☕️ and daze... The Columbia Country Club was designed by American architect Elliott Hazzard. After renovation, it is now Tsutaya Bookstore, which is also the first store of the brand in Shanghai. Today, it has become a gathering place for food and fashion, a place full of historical heritage and modern vitality, and it is worth a visit.

I went to Columbia Circle, an art spot that renovated an old building in Shanghai. In addition to the building with art exhibitions, there is a nice restaurant next to the beautiful light blue pool. Recommended for those who want to experience art in Shanghai. A 5-minute walk away is Shanghai Film City, famous for the Shanghai International Film Festival. 📍Location: 17 meters south of the intersection of Golubia Avenue and Yan'an West Road, Changning District, Shanghai #Free hotel stay #Shanghai #colombiacircle #shanghai #art #shanghaitrip #Shangsheng New Place

Shanghai's fashion and trendy gathering place, Shengxinso, is becoming more and more eye-opening. In addition to the swimming pool, buildings, and buyer's shops that are super photogenic... various new restaurants are also worth recommending, such as Paku Omakase Teppanyaki, which is a great fusion of Japanese and French cuisine. One of the two chefs is a Japanese 🍥Teppanyaki master, and the other has work experience in many treasure 🍽️Western restaurants, so that each dish not only has ⛩️Japanese flavor, but also adds ⛲French high-end restaurant visual sense 🦀🦀🦀Seasonal steamed egg custard My friend and I were very happy when we ate it. We used the seasonal ingredient hairy crab, which was fried in butter and then steamed. It was very fragrant. 🦐🦐🦐Appetizer Pan-fry the soft brioche bread with butter, add the cold sweet shrimp and caviar, the milky aroma, the sweet shrimp 🍥🍥🍥Overnight dried scallop tartare The soft and sticky scallops are paired with sweet and crispy Qiuyue pears, soft-seeded pomegranates, sweet and sour apple jelly, and salmon roe. The shell of this dish is homemade in the store, and the soup is clam juice and matsutake mushrooms, which is very delicious. 🦪🦪🦪Black Pearl Oysters The oysters from France are really fresh and tender. I like the sweet vinegar jelly. 🍔🍔🍔Puff Burger Patties made from five different parts of the chicken, puffs made into hamburger crust, and chicken cartilage that makes a crunchy bite, so fun 🍥🍥🍥Abalone Abalone liver is seasoned with butter, soy sauce and lime sauce, abalone meat is steamed and then fried, Italian black olives, lobster bubble sauce is light and milky 🥩🥩🥩Steak M9+ pure blood Australian sirloin comes from sea bulls that grew up eating seaweed. It is fried with butter, rosemary and garlic. After standing, the aroma is complex and wonderful. The side dishes are also very attentive. The mini carrots are sweet, the porcini are delicious, and the peanut sprouts are crispy and sweet. 🥘🥘🥘Black pork pot rice The pork is fatty but not greasy. After cooking, it is smoked over Binchotan charcoal to remove the greasiness and add a smoky flavor. In addition to delicious food, the service is also very considerate. In order to prevent the guests' coats from being stained with the fumes of Teppanyaki, the waiter will help each guest put on a coat, which left a deep impression on me.

Upper West Shanghai's SIGMA space and audio brand B&O have teamed up for the first time to present an exhibition about "watching" and "listening." As a carrier of images and sound, from manufacturing to art, it engraves another form of technology with overtones, only to unleash infinite imagination. The exhibition is presented in a pure white space, and you need to wear shoe covers to enter. The pure space design echoes the silent movement, opening up infinite space for imagination in the silent gap. The secret of the beauty of the image is hidden in the invisible and colorless light refracted by the camera and lens, which is both visible and invisible. After the opening of the new area of Upper West Shanghai, more and more fresh and interesting stores have opened, some of which are suitable for strolling, some of which satisfy your appetite, and some of which will bring you a new experience. You can visit them during your break. 🎫 "4'33"" ⏰ Date: Now–Dec 8 📍 Location: Room 102, Building 16, Phase II, Upper West Shanghai, Shanghai, SIGMA

The most famous attraction in Shanghai Film Park is the swimming pool. In the autumn sun, the blue sky and white clouds, the pool is surrounded by light restaurants, and the pool reflects the blue sky. There are several European-style buildings in Shanghai Film Park, and well-known companies such as iQIYI have settled in this park. The fountain square in the park is illuminated by the afternoon sun, and the fountain emits seven colors of light and shadow, which is very similar to the style of a European town.

Almost every time I come to Shangsheng New Site, I eat at Heisei House, but I haven't posted any notes. Because there are many western foods here, but children will choose some unhealthy foods to eat, so I automatically exclude them. Heisei House is on time and nutritious. Beef roll rice and ramen series are very suitable as baby meals. Set meal set meal with some edamame, quail eggs, miso soup, and baby two people eat just right. The taste of the old and the young, the Chinese stomach is still very suitable for eating like this~ 📕Shangsheng New Site Notes Homepage🔍 👶One-stop stroll 🐶Dogs have small strollers for free use, not landing ❤️Little confused magic city adventure 👉Shangsheng New Site Phase II is open, Forest Secret Citywalk, Shanghai Creative Park no...1

Shanghai New Life Phase II is really beautiful! The renovated park is over 7,000 square meters In addition to various street corner gardens💐 There are also sports-style green stairs, outdoor exhibitions and other places suitable for taking pictures~ Known as "Changning Daikanyama" 📗There are many tea houses, bookstores, and cultural and creative industries! The industrial forest style is really good for taking pictures . Photo Guide📷 The central courtyard and outdoor steps are good for taking pictures It is recommended to wear light-colored holiday-style clothes More suitable for the relaxation of this block But there are too many plants in the park, so there are a bit more mosquitoes Remember to bring floral water!

The second phase of the Shangsheng New Place, located on Shanghai's "No. 1 Garden Road", is now open! As an architect, I'll take you on a tour of this architectural complex in the Xinhua Road Historic District. 🌳🌴🌲 The second phase of the Shangsheng New Place is inspired by the "Settlement Rubik's Cube". Each building is like a Rubik's Cube, connected by high-rise corridors on the second and third floors, forming a three-dimensional walking system in the park. The staggered architectural forms create a variety of spaces between the buildings. The five new buildings continue the Bauhaus style of the first phase, incorporating historical elements and industrial-style lines. 🏊🏠🐦📖 The second phase of the Shangsheng New Place is now open. In the hot summer, you can visit the first and second phases in the evening. You can check in at the signature internet-famous swimming pool, have a drink or ice cream by the pool, visit the Tsutaya Bookstore, or play an AR interactive game in the Metaverse. The second phase has added a lot of green plant design integration, giving it a Daikanyama, Tokyo feel.

Phase II of Shanghai Shangsheng·New Place offers a lush green environment, gathering unique shops and providing everyone with a brand new experience. Compared to the artistic vibe of Phase I, the theme of Phase II is the symbiosis of architecture and nature. In the fern garden, various fern plants thrive, and the mist spray makes one feel as if they are in a secret realm. Based on the design language of 'Settlement Cube' and 'Street Block Alley', the building spaces are intertwined, diverse business formats overlap, and there are various hidden gem shops waiting for everyone.

❤️: The second phase of Shangsheng New Institute is officially open to the public, and I didn't even know! By chance, I passed by and saw the Tsutaya Bookstore, only to realize that this is the second phase of Shangsheng New Institute. ❤️: No matter how hot the weather is, I have to check in here. After 5 PM, people start to gather outside. The second phase of Shangsheng New Institute is like bringing a tropical rainforest into the city. It's so beautiful, like moving a natural forest park into the city. The visual effect is stunning, and the real-life shots are truly beautiful.

The original space on the south side of the second phase of Shangsheng · New Site has become a canvas for designers. Following the three major concepts that run through all SIGMA products and artistic expressions: 'The Ways of Being,' 'The Ways of Crafting,' and 'The Ways of Seeing,' the entire space is divided into three functional areas: the reception area (Being: the embodiment of brand culture), the display area (Crafting: the pursuit of craftsmanship), and the gallery area (Seeing: respect for artistic creation). These areas are seamlessly integrated and cleverly interlinked. Equally eye-catching is the product repair room displayed to all customers. As an optical equipment brand that integrates R&D, manufacturing, and service, all parts of SIGMA products, from a tiny screw to a large-diameter aspherical lens, are vertically integrated and produced at the Aizu factory. In the relatively small space of the repair room, it is necessary to store these small parts and allow workers to access them at any time. The designer provided a new idea for storage and organization: planning drawers that cover three walls through a hanging method. Taking photos is meant to bring happiness to people. When we are in a Happy Moment, we unconsciously pick up the camera to capture the moment and connect with this happiness. SIGMA's vision is to provide the possibility of recording happy moments for photography enthusiasts, artists, its employees, and everyone.

Shangsheng • New Place is located in the Xinhua Road Historical and Cultural Area, which is renowned as the 'First Garden Road of Shanghai.' 100 years ago, this was the Columbia Country Club, a place for expatriates to relax and vacation; in 1953, it became the Shanghai Institute of Biological Products (referred to as 'Shangsheng Institute'), witnessing the architectural history of industrial transformation in New China; today, it is a famous new landmark in Shanghai, an open cultural and artistic living circle. Must-visit spots here include: Sun Ke Villa: It is a classic work of the world-renowned architect Laszlo Hudec in Shanghai, a hybrid building that combines various styles such as Spanish and Italian Renaissance. Built in 1931, it is one of the first 'Outstanding Historical Buildings of Shanghai.' Navy Club's Internet-famous Swimming Pool: This is one of the few remaining British-style mosaic-tiled pools. The two-story supporting buildings around the pool, renovated in the 1980s, have also been preserved. Today, the Internet-famous pool has become the center of vitality and fashion for the entire block. Tsutaya Bookstore: Located at the Columbia Country Club, this was once a social and leisure place for expatriates in Shanghai. Designed by American architect Elliott Hazzard and completed in 1924, it is a 96-year-old building. Now reborn as the first Tsutaya Bookstore in Shanghai, it combines the unique exterior and interior of the old building, injecting it with vibrant life.

Taking photos is super photogenic. I had just switched to a Huawei phone at the time, so I took pictures all the way! There are squares where you can play with water and parks suitable for walking. Outdoor clubs use this place as a base, and trendy shops are clustered here. It's like an urban amusement park that both the elderly, children, and young people love to play in. I heard there are also many events, such as coffee and drama festivals, comedy festivals, art seasons, photography exhibitions, vintage markets... Just last year, nearly 200 events were held. The entire community includes Blue Bottle Coffee, Tsutaya Bookstore, Lambach, coffea SHED, shardaa, KOLON SPORT, NINETEEN FORTY, etc. It feels like the daily life of living and working around here is the real urban life.
