Jing'an
A gilded temple in a glass district, and ten minutes north, lane streets that almost nobody walks.
Jing'an is the commercial heart of the modern city: malls, offices, and the most expensive real estate in Shanghai. It also contains Yuyuan Road and a set of lane neighbourhoods that tourists walk straight past on their way somewhere else.
