The 1933 Old House is a small but well-suited attraction, perfect for a two-hour visit. Even for tourists visiting from outside the city, it's easy to get there by taxi or even bicycle from the subway station. After visiting all the major attractions in Shanghai, it's highly recommended to venture into this small, adventurous spot.
