Foreigners travel old Shanghai

On the afternoon of Mar.10th, a group of French participating in the
"City Tour" of Shanghai remained unsatisfied after visiting the stone
gates of Xintiandi. They told the tour guide that they wanted to see
stone gates where Shanghai residents lived. The tour guide satisfied
these French friends by taking them to the lanes near Ji'an Road where
they could see engraved railings in the Minguo style of the Qing Dynasty
(AD 1616----1911), dooryards where old Shanghai women were busy washing
vegetable and clothes, lanes nearly 100 years old and bicycles, the
vehicle of every household. At the sight of stone gates carved in the
French style but with Chinese characteristics, the foreigners were so
speechlessly overjoyed that they could do nothing but press their shutter
buttons again and again.
