What is Shanghai Alley? The explanation of Shanghai Alley

1. Shanghai Alley, a unique residential form in Shanghai, was once inseparable from the lives of thousands of Shanghai citizens in Qian Qian. How many stories, how many allusions, how many celebrities and how many memories are closely linked with Shikumen and pavilions. It can be said that without alleys, there would be no Shanghai, let alone Shanghainese. Alleys constitute the most important architectural feature of modern Shanghai; Alleys constitute the most common living space for millions of ordinary Shanghainese; Alley is the most important part of modern Shanghai local culture.

2. Lane, as the Shanghainese call it, is different from the traditional houses in the south of China and any other western architectural form. However, it always bears more or less traces of China's traditional architecture and more or less foreign architectural influences. It can best represent the characteristics of modern Shanghai urban culture, and it is also the most direct product of modern Shanghai history.
