Yuyuan Road Lane Hongye Garden, Yuyuan Public Market

No. 1088 Lane Hongye Garden on Yuyuan Road is a charming century-old lilong. The architectural complex, first built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, has witnessed a hundred years of history.
Today, Hongye Garden has transformed into a hub for trendy boutiques. Stepping into the lane, you’ll first encounter the ultra-cute MIEMIE Photo Studio, featuring themed sets of different cartoon IPs and offering polaroid, instant photography, and Korean-style 大头贴 (portrait stickers) services.
The streets are dotted with stylish internet-famous coffee shops:
A boutique café hidden in a historic villa, where wooden shutters and stained glass windows create a charming contrast, and the aroma of hand-brewed coffee mingles with the scent of plane tree leaves;
A minimalist industrial-style 网红店 (trendy spot), where metal counters and concrete walls exude a cool vibe, luring young people to snap photos over coffee.
From century-old garden villas to today’s fashionable lane, No. 1088 Lane Hongye Garden on Yuyuan Road continues to radiate its unique charm.
