Tianzifang

　　    The name Tianzifang was actually an elegant term coined a few years ago by the painter Huang Yongyu for these old alleyways, yet it has brought an artistic touch to what were once street workshops, abandoned warehouses in the lanes, and ordinary homes in Shikumen lane houses. Tianzifang is a trendy landmark creative industry hub formed from the renovation of Shanghai’s distinctive Shikumen architectural complexes, and also serves as a creative work base for many artists. People often refer to Tianzifang as the "second Xintiandi." In reality, aside from sharing a similar stylish vibe, it differs in many ways from Xintiandi. There are now over 40 art and craft shops and more than 20 studios and design offices located on Taikang Road, with the government providing the stage and enterprises taking the lead. Tianzifang is the street emblem of Shanghai’s Taikang Road Art Street, and the flowing ribbon above the sculpture symbolizes a connection among artists from the five continents and four oceans. What Tianzifang presents to people is more of Shanghai's intimate, warm, and bustling side. As long as you stroll through this now most characterful alleyway in Shanghai, you’ll easily grasp Tianzifang’s distinctive personality. Walking through Tianzifang, as you meander through its maze-like alleys, specialty shops and art workshops unexpectedly catch your eye. From teahouses, open-air restaurants, outdoor cafés, galleries, home décor, to handicrafts, as well as numerous well-known creative studios in Shanghai, there is truly something for everyone.
