Shanghai's French Concession is perhaps the city's most captivating neighborhood. Under French occupation from 1849-1946, this district maintains a unique character in a city that is constantly modernizing. Originally, this area was mainly residential. Today, it is the center of Shanghai's fashion and nightlife scenes. Filled with distinct architecture and tree lined boulevards, the French Concession offers ample opportunity for leisurely strolling during the day or a night out on the town. The Xintiandi complex located in the center of the concession area is one of the best places in town to experience modern, fashionable Shanghai.
