Beauty stores in the picturesque Tianzifang in Shanghai.

This store that sells soaps, essential oils and soy wax candles was one of the more interesting finds.

And there are plenty of stores that peddle these creams boxed in beautiful vintage images of Shanghainese women.

But buyer beware: I’m not sure what goes into these creams.

Still, this pretty maze of small alleyways is a must-visit.

It is packed to the brim with cat cafes, and stores selling street food, souvenirs, accessories, Chinese tea and beautiful tea cups.

No need for words. Here’s why you have to visit if you’re in Shanghai.
