2019 - Shanghai - Xintiandi Shikumen Longtang - 1 of 3

I found the Shikumen alleyways (longtang) of Xintiandi hard to resist. All appear configured on the basic plan but each one unique.

 

Each residence abuts another and all are arranged in straight side alleys called longtang (Chinese: t 弄堂 or 衖堂, s 弄堂).
