Small lanes with retail and cafes lining the area. We went in the afternoon and it was cool as it was cloudy today.
There is a large mall with plenty of restaurants to pick from also.
There are public toilets in the area and if you cant find it, ask the vendors for directions or spot the lime green signage

This is one of the most vibrating part of ShangHai. It is a Maze of small streets full of design clothing or fancy souvenirs plus some bohemian pubs. Nice place to chill for a while
**★★★★☆ Gustavo Moure — 2 months ago
A charming maze of narrow lanes filled with art studios, cafés, boutiques, and street vibes. Very atmospheric and fun to walk around. Great for photos and discovering local creativity.

Too many people (China Public holiday cum Weekends). There souvenirs, pubs and food here. Prices is rasonable too except clothing :) Its gonna be hot, so wear appropriately

Tianzifang feels more like a checklist stop than a genuine highlight. While it’s often described as a charming arts-and-crafts quarter, the reality is fairly average: narrow, enclosed lanes that limit views, creating a sense of congestion rather than discovery. The layout makes it hard to linger comfortably, and the overall experience feels more compressed than atmospheric.
The food and shops are similarly so-so, with limited variety and a strong sense of repetition from stall to stall. Nothing
