This is a wonderful photo series and neighbourhood. Thanks for sharing.

Looks beautiful! Can't wait to see more.
|
Nicely done. I'm curious, do local people still refer to the area as the old French Concession or is this limited to foreigners/expats?

Thanks for the tour hombre, twas an amazing place to explore.
|
Nice area. It looks indeed western.
|
We always hear about how polluted major Chinese cities are, but in your photos, the air looks pretty good (though it's cloudy). Is this typical, or were you shooting on a particularly clear day?
|
Fascinating and eclectic--it looks unlike any place I have ever been. If I were only allowed to travel to one city in Asia, I would pick Shanghai.

Over-looking a portion of the FFC from my apartment on a cold winter's day yesterday.

Not the typical expectation for a Chinese city in terms of architecture. I look forward to the future offerings.
|
Some cool stuff, other bits look rather average (mostly the single home set ups).
|
thanks for the pics; the build of some of the mansions under the tree covers reminds me of some of the older, denser streetcar suburbs in the US, in particular Charleston, Savannah, Houston, Austin. hopefully as those cities fill in they'll look this nice and active.

I was planning on following up the first set of Anfu Rd. and Wukang Rd. with Shaanxi Rd., but I had a meeting in Xujaihui the other day (which is just at the very southwestern edge of the FFC), and decided to walk home, and take pictures of a street I've never explored before.
This is Kangping Rd. A four block, mostly residential, and very low-key street deep within the FFC. It's like a different world compared to Xuijiahui - one of Shanghai's busiest and densest areas - only two blocks away. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1698/...8ebb61c4_b.jpgfc 40 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1556/...dc22d715_b.jpgfc 41 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1648/...4b11d4ca_b.jpgfc 42 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1450/...602a2a4f_b.jpgfc 43 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1545/...482b1b8f_b.jpgfc 44 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1502/...4c837604_b.jpgfc 45 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1533/...1814e96a_b.jpgfc 46 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1460/...83d3ef46_b.jpgfc 47 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1447/...d9d36d5c_b.jpgfc 48 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1455/...8de808e2_b.jpgfc 49 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1580/...2148921f_b.jpgfc 50 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1620/...59dff644_b.jpgfc 51 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1444/...28c3206a_b.jpgfc 52 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1680/...6b7ffa8e_b.jpgfc 53 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1538/...5029510e_b.jpgfc 54 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1710/...db5723bc_b.jpgfc 55 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1664/...b0236f18_b.jpgfc 56 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1612/...546a3b46_b.jpgfc 57 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1484/...255a994f_b.jpgfc 58 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1643/...417e3018_b.jpgfc 59 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1519/...49496505_b.jpgfc 60 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1588/...cb9db2bd_b.jpgfc 61 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1488/...e979fd53_b.jpgfc 62 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1690/...9e3796a6_b.jpgfc 63 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1469/...35c60850_b.jpgfc 64 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1685/...53b00452_b.jpgfc 65 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1559/...8c80c5fb_b.jpgfc 66 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1446/...cdd16514_b.jpgfc 67 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1638/...83666be0_b.jpgfc 68 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1535/...d1c9f2c0_b.jpgfc 69 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1610/...92f8e2f9_b.jpgfc 70 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1514/...a97d14cd_b.jpgfc 71 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1500/...4e39f19a_b.jpgfc 72 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1578/...dcfda660_b.jpgfc 73 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1593/...74cf9620_b.jpgfc 74 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1654/...fb8daa5b_b.jpgfc 75 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1467/...9fe6df94_b.jpgfc 76 by Andrew Rochfort, on Flickr Next time, it will definitely be Shaanxi Rd. |

Great photos as usual, Andrew. I love the French Concession even though it's far too rich for my tastes to actually live there. |
what an interesting shanghai surprize - great thread style too - thanks!
|
|
fantastic. Thanks for all that effort
THIS is why many of us fell in love with this site. Or at least for me... keep going. Fascinating city. |
Wow, fascinating set of photographs.
|
Awesome.
