About

Join us for a special walking tour of Shanghai's old town, the original Shanghai, led by Katya Knyazeva. Beginning at the site of imperial examinations, this walk will follow winding streets filled with archaic workshops, restaurants and markets. On the banks of the vanished Qiaojia Creek, we will locate noble residences and ancient trees hidden in plain sight that will help us re-imagine the genteel spirit of this area. The tour will conclude inside the astonishing private mansion of Shuyinlou with a book signing for Katya Knyazeva’s “Shanghai Old Town, Topography of a Phantom City.” (This is Part 1 of her Old Town series, Part 2 will be out in December.) RSVP to book and confirm meeting point: info@historic-shanghai.com. 150rmb for members, 250rmb for nonmembers.
