"Shanghai's arts and crafts enclave, Tianzifang, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes bursting with diminutive shops, restaurants, and bars. Most of the shops here are located inside shikumen , stone gatehouses dating to the early 1930s. Gear up for your shopping spree witha coffee alfresco at Kommune before checking outXingmu Handicraft'sgorgeous handmade leather notebooks orShanghai Code'svintage Chinese glasses and watches. Pick up delicate stationery at Dongxi Workshop, Shanghai 's very first boutique, and head to Sky Music Box for—you guessed it—music boxes from all over the world."
