Scenic spot introduction:

Tianzifang is known as "Shanghai's Soho", "Silicon Valley" of the visual industry, and "Xintiandi No. 2". It is the birthplace of Shanghai's fashion and creative industries. Tianzifang is located at No. 210, Taikang Road, and was transformed from a Shikumen building unique to Shanghai. Compared with the neatness of Nanluoguxiang and the grandeur of the imperial city, Tianzifang is graceful, petty bourgeois, and lingering with a smile. In 1998, painter Chen Yifei moved his studio here, and this lonely industrial factory began to welcome the artistic and creative gatherings of art centers, galleries, and studios. In 2004, artist Huang Yongyu came here to play and named it "Tianzifang". It is easiest to find unique things here, such as shawls and scarves that will never be repeated, jewelry of different styles, and unique new-style Tang suits, which are truly one-of-a-kind.
