The French Concession was once home to the bulk of Shanghai's adventurers, revolutionaries, gangsters and writers, though ironically not many of them were French (the majority of the residents were British, American, White Russian and Chinese).
Shanghai's nickname 'Paris of the East' stems largely from the tree-lined avenues and French-influenced architecture of the concession.
It is a most graceful part of Shanghai, and the most rewarding district for walks. We will go into gardens with attached French old villas, see how Chinese live in 'Longtangs' that are back alleys which form whole communities. They are Shanghai's most indigenous urban architectural feature.
Lunch on own costs at a small restaurant in the French Concession.
