Historic Fuxing Road Walking and Shopping Tour in Shanghai's French Concession

Leave Lane #37 and continue west on Fuxing Road. You'll soon come to Yongfu Road. Turn left, staying on the left-hand side of the road across from a large apartment building. Platane's lovely burgundy exterior and enchanting window display will catch your eye after a few strides. The French and Australian duo have an eye for unique chinoiserie accents and soft furnishings as well as whimsical every day items such as yummy Aussie t-shirts and cow-hide purses.

What you'll find: original, hard to find, casual Chinese-inspired porcelain, fun girlie gifts such as hand-made small bags as well as gorgeous leather Australian handbags, Luxe guides and one-of-a-kind home accents.

Tips: their carved marble coasters are a great gift for yourself or someone on your shopping list.
