naked Walk | 3 Ways to Explore Historical French Concession
nakedHub@Hunan Lu is located in the romantic area
of the Former French Concession.
This space has a wealth of historical buildings
and is surrounded by modern restaurants and cafes
which offer some of the best wine, coffee and food.
The chic designs of the stores regularly draws large crowds on the weekends
and tourists are eager to visit the former residences of famous writers and politicians.
naked Hub@Hunan Lu is at the centre of this historic culture hotspot. Take a stroll with us and explore one of the most interesting neighbourhoods of Shanghai.
This public space has shown rapid commercialization in recent years. The French Concession is now a bustling neighborhood but its cultural identity, interestingly, is still intact. It has a uniquely French atmosphere which is more exotic than the Anglo-American neighbourhoods.”
