About French Concession
The former French Concession is Shanghai's most livable neighborhood. Plane tree-lined streets, 1930s lane houses converted into cafes and boutiques, and a nightlife scene that ranges from cocktail bars to hole-in-the-wall dumpling shops. This is where expats and locals overlap most naturally.
