Old Shanghai has been known for its typical lane house style – the lilong. First built in the 1850’s with stone gates and later with small gardens, this style was used all over the city. Most Shanghainese lived in lilong-style houses, and for many decades this has been the main building style in Shanghai. However, most of them are now gone - except if you take a close look, you can still find them even deep downtown. It is like walking through an urban jungle if you know your way.

Join us with Carolin Billetter from China Culture Consulting on our adventurous tour through the most hidden pathways in Shanghai.
