Xintiandi (新天地) Shanghai

Have had a couple of great evenings recently in Xintiandi, Shanghai. Comprised of old, saved, converted townhouses (shikumen), it's a bit touristy and (as I stupidly said to a colleague": "is great, does not feel like China at all". Whoops! Feels quite European, but is the birthplace of the Chinese Communist ('Socialist) party - the first meeting room (one of these pics) is a National monument.
