"The mix of Western and Chinese"

You can easily spend a day in the former French Concession just walking around watching the old buildings. Be careful to pay attention to the mix of Western and Chinese which is so typical for Shanghai. The former French Concession covers a large area, basically everything south of Yan’an Road, but if you start around Fuxing Park and walk Fuxing Road or some of the smaller streets westward, you should be able to get a fair impression of the area.
