An afternoon on Taikong lu

Today we took a 45 minute bike ride to a very cute area of Shanghai called Taikong Lu. It's a pedestrian area with twisting alleyways and tons of cute outdoor cafes, boutiques and art galleries. There are painters, sculptors, photographers, and all the artists open their studios for you to watch them work. It has a European feel with tiny streets and exposed brick. We spent the afternoon winding through the streets, then we found an Indochinese restaurant for lunch, and found another little cafe for a cup of coffee outside. It was a nice afternoon on a gorgeous day. Here are some pics:
