Xintiandi has become the new landmark of Shanghai, and it is the best placeto appreciate Shanghai's history, culture and modern life form. Covering an areaof 30000 square meters and a construction area of 60000 square meters, theShikumen complex retains the brick walls and roof tiles of that year. Visitorsseem to enter the time tunnel and return to the 1920s. But inside everybuilding, tailored to the lifestyle, rhythm and emotional world of modernurbanites in twenty-first Century, they become international galleries,boutiques, theme restaurants and coffee bars. The..0 distance covers all theattractions of Shanghai the Bund, Shanghai Xintiandi, Shanghai Forest Park andso on.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Shikumen Lane in Shanghai is still aconcentrated expression of dilapidated, crowded and poor living conditions inthe minds of many young people. Fortunately, even so, there are still a group ofnostalgic literary masters who make architectural culture complex, so that manypeople find the beauty hidden behind it.
In Shanghai Xintiandi Shanghai language, it is called "hoop" such as hoop,wrapped or wrapped by one thing, such as a hoop, so the building of the stonehoop gate is called "stone hoop gate" and then it is falsely called "Shikumen".It is generally believed that the main gate of this kind of building is made ofstone with solid thick wood and a copper ring. Compared with traditional Chinesehouses, it tends to be conservative. Shikumen residence in Shanghai rose in the1860s. In 1860, the Taiping Army headed by Li Xiucheng, a loyal king, launchedan eastward movement to conquer Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Ningbo andother cities in southern Jiangsu and Northern Zhejiang, forcing tens ofthousands of refugees from southern Jiangsu and Northern Zhejiang to seek refugein Shanghai concession. In order to accept the refugees, the concessionmobilized businessmen to invest in housing construction. In order to make fulluse of the land, most of these houses were built as row connected Shikumen lanehouses. In order to cater to the traditional Chinese family living style,Shikumen not only imitates the western style houses, but also imitates thecommon houses in the south of the Yangtze River. After entering the door, thereis a patio. Behind the patio is the living room (called "guest hall" byShanghainese). Then there is the back patio. After the day after tomorrow, thereis the kitchen and the back door.
On both sides of the patio and the guest hall are the left and right wingrooms. The layout of the second floor is basically similar to that of the groundfloor, except that the upper part of the kitchen is the "Pavilion", and theupper part is the sun terrace. Its representative buildings include xingrenli,which covers an area of 1.33 hectares, on the east side of Henan Middle Road,between Ningbo Road and Beijing Road, and dunrenli, mianyangli, Jixiang Li,etc., on xintoujie street, Zhongshan South Road. After the beginning of thiscentury, with the change of Shanghai residents' family structure to small familystructure, the living habits of residents have also changed significantly. Thestructure and style of Shikumen residence have changed. There are "singleentrance" (no wing room) and "two entrances" (one passenger hall and one wingroom) suitable for small families. It has a large scale, the lane is about 4meters wide, and the floors are mainly 2-3 floors; pavilions are set at thestair platform, and balconies are used in the facade; 20__ After the s, sanitaryequipment was generally installed. Its representative buildings include Jing'anvilla on Nanjing West Road and new mainland village on Shanyin road. After the1930s, due to the shortage of housing in Shanghai, some residents rented outtheir spare rooms to others, so most of the Shikumen changed their originaldesign intention and became a multi family house.
The Shikumen residence, which is from childish to mature, constitutes aLane community with private space and public space interlaced. In thiscommunity, while enjoying personal space, it is easier for residents tocultivate a more harmonious and intimate neighborhood relationship. As a result,we all know exactly what we cook and what's going on in that family. With theincrease of residential density, residents gradually move their familyactivities to the public space in the lane, which further strengthens theoriginal neighborhood intimacy. In the meantime, there are more and morefrictions, whether between young people or between young people and old people.These frictions and quarrels are just about "you use more of my gas", "youinvade my territory" and so on.
Shanghai Xintiandi Shikumen lane has more than 9000 places at most,accounting for more than 60% of the total residential area in Shanghai. Simplyfrom the perspective of architecture, Shikumen is the product of a specifichistorical period, which has a history of more than 100 years. Moreover, thespatial structure of some Shikumen is not suitable for the living concept ofmodern people, so it is normal for them to disappear. In the early 1990s,Shanghai began large-scale reconstruction and development. Many old houses inShikumen have been demolished and replaced by high-rise buildings one by one.One by one, old houses full of nostalgia are gradually disappearing. Only thendo people realize that they want to preserve these unique "artworks" inShanghai.

The green brickwalk, the red and green brick walls, the thick black paint gate and the lintelcarved with Baroque style swirling mountain flowers make tourists feel like theyare in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. However, stepping into the interior ofeach building is very modern and fashionable. The original partition walls ofevery house have been completely opened, presenting a spacious space. Thecentral air conditioning is like spring all the year round. The European stylefireplace and sofa are adjacent to the eight immortals table and Taishi chair inthe East. The bar and coffee room are in harmony with the teahouse and Chineserestaurant. The modern oil painting and the vertical old phonograph on the wallare quietly pouring out the owner's cultural taste.

This is the photo of Shanghai Xintiandi. In May, I went to ShanghaiXintiandi. I took some photos to show you. After that, Shanghai might as well goand have a cup of coffee in the open air to feel the unique charm of ShanghaiXintiandi.
Xintiandi is divided into two parts: Nan Li and Bei Li. Modern buildingsare the main buildings in South Lane, and old buildings in Shikumen aresubsidiary. In the northern part of the block, the old buildings of Shikumen aremainly preserved, and the old and the new interact with each other. Nanli builta building with a total floor area of 25, The shopping, entertainment andleisure center with an area of 5000 square meters was officially opened in themiddle of 20__. This glass curtain wall building full of modern feeling hasentered into various distinctive businesses. In addition to restaurants from allover the world, it also includes the favorite fashion shops, fashion jewelryshops, food Square, cinema and one-stop Fitness Center for young people Localand foreign consumers and tourists provide a diversified and tastefulentertainment hot spot. Beili is composed of many old houses in Shikumen. Itcombines modern architecture, decoration and equipment, and turns into a numberof high-end consumer places and restaurants. Xingye Road, the watershed betweenNanli and Beili, is the site of the first National Congress of the CommunistParty of China. The Shikumen building along the street will also become a citylandscape that condenses history, culture and art.
Beside the Shanghai Xintiandi, the Taiping Bridge Park green space andartificial lake have been opened. The green space occupies forty-four thousandsquare meters and is located in the central area of the entire Taiping Bridgeproject. Tall trees are planted in the park to build low slope landscape andprovide rest space. The park center has built the largest artificial lake in thecenter of Shanghai, covering 12000 square meters. There are large fountains inthe center of the lake, and two small islands are dotted at the East and Westends of the lake, named "Yulan island" and "Hehuan island". The green spacearound the artificial lake fluctuates, and various trees and shrubs are planted.A new one thousand and two hundred metre long Lake Road along the northern sideof the green space has a beautiful curve along the artificial lake. It is linkedto the Shikumen Shanghai style building in Xintiandi square, and becomes aunique new sight in the center of the city.
Before the development of Xintiandi project, it is a building with nearly acentury of history. Shikumen architecture, which began to appear in the middleof the 19th century, has a deep historical mark. It is a product of thecombination of Chinese and Western culture, and also represents the modernhistory and culture of Shanghai. However, with the continuous development of thecity, the former Shikumen has long been unable to meet the living needs andgradually faded out of the historical stage. Some experts have anxiouslypredicted that Shanghai will not see the original Shikumen in the 21stcentury.
In 1997, the Ruian group put forward a new concept of building renovationof Shikumen: changing the original living function, giving it new commercialvalue, transforming the old Shikumen old city into a new city full of vitality.The total investment of the project was about 150 million dollars, and itstarted in early 1999. The first phase of Xintiandi square was built at the endof 20__.
The clear water brick wall of Shikumen building is one of thecharacteristics of this kind of building. In order to emphasize the sense ofhistory, the designer decided to keep the original bricks and tiles as buildingmaterials. Modern facilities, including ground floor optical fiber cables andair conditioning systems, have been installed in the old houses to ensure thathouses are more functional and reliable. Nowadays, Xintiandi has become a newlandmark in Shanghai.
Every day, countless people rush into this fast spinning City, with theirgrand blueprint or soap bubble like daydream; every day, countless people leavethis stiff and indifferent City, leaving their tears or endless regrets.
Out of curiosity and desire for the unknown, with a trace of expectation, atrace of tension and a trace of loss, I came to this city called "Shanghai".
It was early in the morning when I first arrived in Shanghai. Don't forget,Shanghai is also called "never night city". Although the sky is gray, but thecolorful lights on the street are flashing my eyes. Walking on the Bund, you cansee all kinds of European buildings and groups of foreigners coming and going.Through the glass, you can see the bright lights and the twisting posture in theluxurious dress. This is probably the nightclub in Shanghai. How many rich butlonely people are living a life of intoxication here? They just want to seek atrace of warmth in this cold city.
The night of the Huangpu River fascinated me, standing on the riverside.The breeze gently blowing my hair. The Lujiazui portrait centered on theOriental Pearl was displayed in front of my eyes. Beautiful, very beautiful,very beautiful, so suffocating, so beautiful that people feel unreal, sobeautiful that people can't help but sigh "can only be seen from a distance, butcan't play.".
In the early morning, people can see Shanghai clearly and thoroughly.Walking on Nanjing Road and shuttling through the people's Square, I see antiquebuildings and groups of people in a hurry. As if, in this fast-paced city, notto rush will be eliminated, abandoned, forgotten.
Coming to the new world is full of the Republic of China. On this famous"Republic Street". I seem to have seen Zhang Ailing, who is "merciful becauseshe knows", Lin Huiyin, who is "love, warmth, April day in the world", and XiaoHong, who is "too late to do anything, just sit and watch the red sky" and so onLittle by little of the Republic of China appeared in front of my eyes. I don'tknow why, when I saw these traces of history, I was moved to tears.
In my opinion, Shanghai, known as "Oriental Paris", is a proper and goodcity integrating modern and traditional. Whether the bright Lujiazui, themagnificent people's square or the red wall green tile Town God's Temple, knownto the world, all the Shanghai road has added a touch of vitality, a touch ofbeauty and a touch of moving.
When I say goodbye to Shanghai, I look at the endless stream of people andthe magnificent high-rise buildings. I can't help but sigh that Zhuzhou is soordinary! But I think I still love that ordinary Zhuzhou more than theglittering of Shanghai. There is no bright light shining, no dense trafficshuttle, but there is warmth, and the person who has always accompanied me.
