Tian Zi Fang

Located at 210, Taikang Road of Luwan District, Tianzifang is an art street in Shanghai, combining artistic centers, exotic restaurants and bars, popular with locals and visitors from abroad. It was reconstructed on the traditional Shikumen (stone-framed-door) architectural structure, and is the base for many creative artists.

Only a few years ago, Tianzifang, 210 of Taikang Road, was as ordinary as any other lane in Shanghai, with deserted warehouses, and bathhouses. In 1998, it was renovated by the government. From then on, more and more painters, artists and owners of arts and crafts stores came to Tianzifang. Typical of these are Er Dongqiang and Chen Yifei, American ceramic artist Jimmy, and French fashion designer
