- The Great (Free) Glass Elevator Ride. The glorious old heritage wing of the Okura Garden Hotel – formerly the ‘Cercle Sportif Francais’ – is well worth exploring however, many ignore the modern tower block stuck on the back.
- Capsule Gallery. If you thought that West Bund had the monopoly on contemporary art you have clearly been looking hard enough. Capsule is a small but perfectly formed gallery hidden in plain sight in a lane house near Anfu Lu with a lovely garden.
- Lu Xun Park & Mr Yang the Fan Painter. Forget touristy Fuxing, those in search of true local park action need to head to Hongkou where Lu Xun Park bursts with life in an historic corner of the city that is most definitely underappreciated.

Housed in an atmospheric old wood-panelled villa hidden down an alleyway off Yuyuan Road, Fu serves up some serious lao Shanghai vibes in town, only heightened upon the occasional appearance of an elderly pianist in the main dining room whom, in our experience, favours a jaunty waltz.
