This is the traditional urban core of Shanghai. Centuries of history and tradition can be seen and tasted here. The Old Shanghai tea house is situated near the Yuyan Gardens and the streets are always bustling with activity outside the tea house, but inside it is a whole different story.
The ornate exterior is nicely matched by the decorative interior. Frame prints and paintings adorn virtually all of the wall space and the windows allow plenty of natural light and offer great views of the colourful procession of people outside.
Being more than just a tea house, visitors here can take a stroll down memory lane with all the paintings and furniture behind me that reflect life in Old Shanghai.
The ornaments are presented in chronological order. They range from the late Qing Dynasty to the time around the founding of the People's Republic of China.
