Built in 1932 and still lived in, it is the largest new-style lilong lane housing complex in Shanghai: 193 buildings on 2.5 hectares, entered through an archway off Nanjing West Road. Shoppers on the mall strip outside rarely turn in, but the lanes show everyday Shanghai home life a few steps from the luxury stores.
