🚇 About a 15-min walk from Yan’an West Road Station (Metro Lines 3 & 4)

📸 Two spots you shouldn’t miss:

1️⃣ Navy Club Swimming Pool
Tiffany-blue mosaic tiles + elegant white arches — it feels like stepping into old Shanghai from the 1920s. There’s also a restaurant right by the pool, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

2️⃣ Tsutaya Bookstore
A beautiful Japanese-style bookstore tucked inside a historic building. Two floors, lots of design inspiration, and the perfect place to browse, read, or simply slow down for a while.

And there’s more — cozy cafés ☕️, stylish restaurants 🍴, independent boutiques, historic architecture, and plenty of greenery all come together here.

If you’re visiting Shanghai, definitely add The IColumbia Circle to your list. You never know what little gem you’ll discover next ✨

4 Chinese fruits you absolutely have to try:

🍒 Yangmei (Chinese Bayberry)
Sweet, slightly tart, and incredibly juicy. The moment you bite into it, the fresh juice bursts in your mouth — a perfectly balanced flavor that is refreshing and addictive.

🍑 Loquat (枇杷)
With a history of over 2,000 years in China, loquat has golden-yellow flesh and a unique flavor that tastes like a mix of peach, apricot, and citrus. In traditional Chinese medicine, loquat is often used to soothe the throat and support respiratory health.

🍒 Lychee (荔枝)
Is there anyone who doesn’t love lychee? Peel off the skin and you’ll find a juicy, sweet fruit with a delicate floral aroma. One bite and you’ll understand why it’s loved around the world.

👑 Mangosteen (山竹)
Known as the “Queen of Fruits,” mangosteen has a creamy, sweet texture with a subtle tang — some people describe it as similar to a refreshing yogurt drink. Definitely a must-try!

During our Chinese Cooking Class Experience, we’ll take you to a local market first to discover seasonal ingredients, pick fresh produce, and explore the flavors behind Chinese cuisine.

Come shop, cook, and taste China with us ❤️
