20th Oct – Tian Zi Fang and Seven Treasure Old Street

Met up with Jo to visit Tian Zi Fang (田子坊) at Tai Kang Road today. This place is like an old street with shops and restaurants with plenty of opportunity to take pictures. Bought an old postcard for my sis who loves old stuffs so much and mailed to her. The Post Office here is very hardworking. They work from 7am to 7pm!! Back to Tian Zi Fang. That place was originally named Zhi Cheng Fang (志成坊) making me more fond of the place, that we spent around 5 hours there, looking at photographs from famous photographers and window shopping around. There was this interesting restaurant which offers patron who can finish a 1kg burger in 10minutes for free!! 1kg is no kidding. We saw some photos of the hall of famers from various countries who managed to do it.

After that, Jo brought me to Seven Treasure (七宝) Old Street. Quite a famous tourist spots too. Perhaps we were already late, so the crowd was not that bad. This was so called the closest to any of those water towns famous around Shanghai like Tongli, Zhujiajiao and Zhou Zhuang. Since it is also geographically closer to the city, the place is definitely not as great as those further away.
Promised Yap’s in law that I would be back for dinner. They are really very nice people. And of course, home cooked food is always the best! I love the meal so much =]
