The Shikumen of Shanghai, historic homes nestled in alleyways blending Western and Chinese architectural styles, reflect the city's cultural richness. This short video provides a glimpse into one of them (No. 21 Building, Lane 1129, Anlefang, Nanjing West Road, Jing'an District - 静安区南京西路1129弄安乐方21号 - https://maps.app.goo.gl/ah82M1KfJSPTV...) from the inside. The importance of safeguarding Shanghai's heritage must overcome challenges posed by urbanization, showcasing and exploring its significance through preservation efforts. Many Shikumen face demolition or commercialization. Despite obstacles, initiatives strive for their survival, preserving cultural identity.
