With no debate that returning to daily life could be a challenge as many districts and even buildings are still been placed under barriers and fences. Even so, it is still a good sign.

Jiangsu Road and Yuyuan Road itself are a great contrast to Shanghai’s growing modernity. There are coffee shops, ice cream parlors, food stands and flower shops worth spending some time browsing. Alleys along the tree-lined road are filled with historical western-style villas which bring a spirit of the past.
