田子坊
Tianzifang is an arts and crafts enclave that has developed from a renovated residential area in the French Concession area. It comprises a neighborhood of labyrinthine alleyways off Taikang Road ， and is therefore also referred to as Taikang Road. Tianzifang is known for small craft stores， coffee shops， trendy art studios and narrow alleys. It has become a popular tourist destination in Shanghai， and an example of preservation of local Shikumen architecture， with some similarities to Xintiandi.
田子坊是一个艺术园区，是在上海法租界的居住区基础上发展起来的。它附近街坊是迷宫式的泰康路小巷，因此也被称为泰康路。田子坊以小的艺术品小店、咖啡店、流行艺术工作室和窄巷着名。它是上海很受欢迎的旅游景点，也是当地石库门建筑代表地，和新天地相似。
Though all the businesses sell trendy foreign goods， the area does not look very beautiful-electricity cables are still strung overhead， and air conditioners are on the outside of the buildings. The district is different from Xintiandi， another Shikumen redevelopment in the vicinity， in that it has managed to preserve its residential outlook， And that adds its appeal.
尽管这里很多小店都卖时尚的外国货，但这个地方看起来却并不是特别漂亮-电缆裸露，空调器挂在建筑物的外面。这个地方明显和附近另一个重新开发的石库门代表新天地不同，由于它成功的保存了居民区感觉，这也增加了其吸引力。
