Sylvan streets
Explore the Sylvan streets and admire Shanghai's Art Deco residential architecture, reputedly the world's largest although not the most well-kept. Most historic buildings have a bronze plaque that details their original use. The area sandwiched between Fuxing and Huaihai Rds is particularly interesting with a sprinkling of tucked-away shops and discreet cafes, a refreshing alternative to the city's generally megalomaniac streetscape.
