Why does Anfu Road remain timeless? Why is it the go-to reason for travelers heading to Shanghai? 🌿
💬 The debate has never ceased. Many criticize Anfu Road for being nothing more than a noisy influencer hotspot, draining the original charm of the old city. Yet, if you step away from the bustle, you'll find that the streets still hold onto the authentic, old-fashioned daily life of Shanghai, while trendy fashion and modern dining thrive. The local charm of the past and the vibrant energy of the present blend together; old villas paired with modern eateries allow this historic street to constantly cultivate new vitality.
🌳 Century-old plane trees shade the long street, while old villas stand in silent repose.
As the city moves forward, the layout of the old street remains unchanged. Elegant restaurants, transformed from old villas, embrace Shanghai's unique, laid-back brunch culture, where a leisurely Western lifestyle gently blends into the fabric of the old city.
🏡 Old buildings house new businesses, and old alleys bloom with new romance.
On one side is the relaxed, leisurely old-city life that locals have maintained for years; on the other is the modern lifestyle sparked by trendy dining and fashion culture. These two ways of life coexist here. The interweaving of old and new creates a unique atmosphere, shaping the exclusive urban character of Anfu Road. It is no longer a quiet, aging street, but one surging with youthful energy everywhere.
🍂 Beyond the gentleness of the streets and alleys, there lies a touch of poignant, minimalist loss.
The Xiaoshan Hall, designed by Kenya Hara to interpret Oriental minimalist aesthetics, has closed its doors. This aesthetic finale leaves behind a restrained, sophisticated, and timeless resonance for this romantic street.
🌬️ Midsummer light and shadow dapple the plane tree leaves, and the breeze drifts through the gaps of century-old buildings.
On one end is the authentic, time-honored Shanghai daily life; on the other is trendy energy and modern aesthetics. Those weary of the tourist crowds and those who cherish this vibrancy hold different views, yet this ongoing discussion has only served to shape Anfu Road's inimitable character. Slow your pace, stroll through the streets, and savor the relaxed, composed texture of life in an old city polished by time.
📍 Address: Anfu Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai
🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 7/10, Changshu Road Station

Chongqing Is Basically One Giant La La Land...!!!!! 😭😭

Chongqing really does feel like a massive La La Land — that surreal, romantic, dreamlike quality is spot on.

Why it's a "Giant Lalaland"

· 8D magic terrain: Trains through buildings, stacked overpasses, driving on rooftops, your "1st floor" is actually the 22nd — a real-life Inception.
· Cyberpunk night views: After dark, Hongya Cave's lights reflect on the Jialing River, Qianximen Bridge traffic becomes ribbons of light, the whole mountain city like illuminated building blocks — unreal.
· Cinematic everyday life: Laundry hanging in Baixiangju's old corridors, the Yangtze Cableway slicing across the sky, trains emerging from apartment buildings — market life and magic happening at once.

Lalaland-style photo spots

· Hongya Cave + Qianximen Bridge: The classic. During blue hour (20 min after sunset), lights are fully on and reflections are dreamiest.
· Nanshan Yikeshu: Overlooks the Yuzhong Peninsula — thousands of lights like a spilled galaxy.
· Liziba Monorail Through Building: Wait for a train to emerge from the building against sunset — a surreal Chongqing-only scene.
· Baixiangju: Old residential buildings framing the Yangtze Cableway — everyday life and cinema in one frame.

Tips

· Blue hour is the golden time for night shots — about 20 minutes after sunset, with lingering sky light and lights already on.
· Chongqing's terrain is wild and navigation often fails — asking locals beats maps.

If you want a specific night photography route, just ask.
