Shanghai's Xintiandi is one of the city's most famous areas and is extremely popular with tourists. Xintiandi was initially built with the unique Shikumen architectural style characteristic of old Shanghai, but has now transformed into an international walking street famous for its commercial, entertainment and leisure, and cultural offerings. Key to its essence is its combination of Chinese and western, old and new culture, and its integration of traditional Shikumen and new buildings. Xintiandi is now widely recognized as a cultural symbol of Shanghai. [Photo: CRIENGLISH.com]
