Tianzifang

A covent garden-esque maze of boutique and independent stores selling beautiful wares and yummy food. In the "nicer" part of town, the Former French Concession, with wide roads lined with trees. The preferred area for expats, it was strangely reminiscent of Creteil with big houses, twisted iron gates and fences. Tianzifang itself was essentially a big alleyway market place where you could get lost for days exploring all the nooks and crannies and sampling the culinary delights they have to offer. One of the few drawbacks of travelling long term is that buying souvenirs, clothes, trinkets things like that is essentially non-existent as I physically can't carry everything I want in my bag, also can't afford to buy the little nick nacks that take my fancy because the money has to stretch a long way. Either way it was a feast for the senses walking around and just being there.Weiterlesen
