NeighbourhoodLocal favourite

A new-style shikumen lane built by the Siming Bank as staff housing (finished 1932), with one main alley running from Yan'an Middle Road to Julu Road. Poet Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman lived here and hosted Tagore in 1929, so locals call it the 'cultural celebrity village'.
