2019 - Shanghai - Xintiandi Shikumen Longtang - 3 of 3
I found the Shikumen alleyways (longtang) of Xintiandi hard to resist. All appear configured on the basic plan but each one unique.
In 2010, "construction techniques of shikumen lilong architecture" was recognized by the Chinese government on the national non-physical cultural heritage register.
Shikumen Residence, literally meaning ‘Stone Warehouse Gate’, is regarded as the most representative house style of Shanghai.
It is so named due to the stone door frame. This sort of residence combines the architecture styles of southern China and western countries.
