Features: Lane houses, once a familiar term for most Shanghai residents referring to their living quarters, were the unique architectural spaces where generations of Shanghai people thrived and prospered. With the rise of various specialty tours, visiting old lane houses has also become a brand-new leisure activity, leading to the emergence of books introducing these lanes. This book is an attempt to make this subject even more engaging. It systematically showcases different types of lane houses.
