One addition I have for the Luwan district is a shop called Platane. It features interior accessories from figurines to kitchen items, lighting, small furniture pieces and much more. I found hand made ceramic plates in an array of colours. I love them! They are at 156 Taikang Lu, right next to the aforementioned Taikang Lu area, which is a must see in my book, simply for the environment. The lanes are tiny and tight, no cars, and its bit like an alternative version of the covered bazar in Istanbul in that you'll get lost at first. Good food, some great galeries and boutiques!

They sell affordable designer clothing from Dutch designer Jolie van Beek. Items are basic with fashionable details, so the items will stay in your wardrobe for years to come. Also since the boutiques carry western sizes you'll be sure to find something that fits! It's a great souvenir for your trip to since the label is exclusively sold in Shanghai.

Also a stroll along Si Nan Road in the heart of the French Concession, which ends at Tai Kang Road. Visitors are welcome at Nuzi, we have a 'private' lounge with terrace to enjoy a bottle of New Zealand wine if you're looking for a more intimate option than the surrounding cafe's & restaurants. :) another ‘must see’ that i always reccommend is the Planning Museum, in People’s Square next to the museum – it has an incredible scale model of the city, as well as floors of exhibitions about the development of Shanghai.

Hope this saves other travellers a bit of time - I have high hopes of finding it tomorrow.
