Fodor's Review:

Designated Shanghai's "Cultural Street," Duolun Road takes you back in time to the 1930s, when the 1-km- (½-mi-) long lane was a favorite haunt of writer Lu Xun and fellow social activists. Bronze statues of those literary luminaries dot the lawns between the well-preserved villas and row houses, whose 1st floors are now home to antiques shops, cafés, and art galleries. As the street takes a 90-degree turn, its architecture shifts 180 degrees with the seven-story stark gray Shanghai Doland Museum of Modern Art.

Historic buildings, with actual history (the League of Left-Wing Writers met there) with little traffic, few other tourists (at the moment) and very pretty, this couldn't get much better. Except that there are also interesting antique and curio stores, a second hand bookstore if you can read Chinese and a couple of chic eating places. Not much English around though.
