This article presents a travel guide to Shanghai, China. The pride and joy of Shanghainese is Xintiandi, an area of once-dilapidated mid-19th-century shikumen houses that has radically renovated that it feels more like a film-set version of Old Shanghai than the real deal. A must-see is the Dongtai or Liuhe Road antiques market, where a range of stores sell furniture, paintings, jewelry, pottery, ornaments and even antique copies of Chairman Mao's "Little Red Book."
