This area has been rapidly changing over the past 15 years and eventually nearly all the original buildings will vanish. And while Xintiandi shows the cultural mix between China and the West as well as old and new in an artificial way, the real treasure is a few blocks away.

Carolin Billetter from Shanghai-Art-Walks will lead us through the jungle of a still-kept secret in downtown Shanghai. Diving into Chinese life near the new world, we will discover a typical lifestyle in these endemic Shanghainese alleyways and see the real beauty of Shanghai.
