Shangsheng Place

Shangsheng Place is located at No. 1262 Yan'an West Road, Shanghai, and is a comprehensive cultural and artistic living circle within the Xinhua Road Historical Features District in Changning District, Shanghai. It consists of several historical buildings, including the Sun Ke Villa, the Columbia Country Club, the Navy Club, and its affiliated swimming pool, among others. These buildings have undergone multiple changes over nearly a century, originally being the Columbia Country Club, and the Shanghai Institute of Biological Products was also located here at one time. Now, after renovation, it has become a new type of urban commercial circle that integrates culture, creative offices, commerce, dining, retail, and more, providing a new venue for citizens and tourists to work, relax, consume, and entertain, with historical significance and a highly regarded urban landmark space. In particular, the Tsutaya Bookstore, one of the 20 most beautiful bookstores in the world, a Japanese brand store, is the first of its kind in Shanghai. The combination of book sales, creative gifts, and the integration of coffee and bars makes for a wonderful time. Also worth mentioning is the Navy Club's affiliated swimming pool, which is also a popular spot for social media check-ins, attracting tourists to visit and take photos. I have been there several times, and I've heard that the nighttime lighting atmosphere is also very romantic. I will take the opportunity to visit again.

The first branch of its kind to open in Shanghai, Tsutaya Books 📚 can be found in Columbia Circle in a villa that used to be the residence of Sun Yat Sen’s son. The store has been open for a just couple of months but has already taken Chinese social media by storm. A number of unique books can be found in Tsutaya - many of which we haven’t really found at other bookstores. Among them, there’s a particularly large selection of books related to art, as well as architecture and design. There’s also a small section of books in English. The store’s interior is characterized by narrow hallways and old fashioned woodwork, offering a contrast to many of Shanghai's newly opened, ultramodern stores. It’s worth a visit even if to just check out the architecture. Sculptures and other pieces of art can be found scattered among the shelves and shelves of books. A café can be found on the first floor just as you walk in. On the second floor, you’ll find a restaurant with Japanese-American style fusion cuisine. Try out dishes like gyoza hot wings , beer steamed mussels, and cheese ebi chili. Cocktails with literature-inspired names are also on the menu, like Between Calmness and Passion and Theory of Relativity. A meal with drinks will average out at around CNY300 per person. In all of its splendor, this bookstore is quite popular among locals looking for the next insta-worthy shot. For this reason, you’ll have to make a reservation in advance on the store’s WeChat mini program if you want to visit. 📍 Location: Columbia Circle, 1262 West Yan’an Road ⏰ Hours: 10:00–23:00 #shanghaistyle #shanghaichic #bookstore #bookshop  #lightthecity#urbanexplorer#hipsterbookstore
