This is a unique street for citizens to relax, named ‘Shanghai 1930s Style Street’ and it is part of the content displayed at the City Planning Exhibition Hall. In the 1930s, the avant-garde architectural trends from Europe and America were reflected in Shanghai. On both sides of this 50-meter-long leisure street, the architectural styles of English, French, Spanish, and Japanese, which reflect the urban elegance of that era, are condensed.
At several entrances and exits, the representative of Shanghai’s residential buildings – the Shikumen alleyway – is subtly integrated. For each individual building here, old Shanghai can identify its prototype and origin. On this street, there are also Shanghai teahouses, tiger stoves, coffee shops, Shikumen parlors, and 1:1 scale old-fashioned fire hydrants, complemented by a changing sky canopy, as if transporting visitors into the urban area of old Shanghai in the 1930s, leaving an endless aftertaste. Open all year round from 08:00 to 22:00, the specific business status is subject to the daily opening conditions.Shanghai 1930s Style Street
