Laowaijie (Laowai Street, Lao Wai Jie)

Laowaijie 老外街 is a pedestrian street lying across the border of Minhang District and Changning District with the feature dedicated to catering for food hunters and drink boozers.

Foods served at dozens of restaurants parading along Laowaijie bring in exotic savours that range from international cuisines like Italian, Mexican, German, and American to local specialties like Shanghainese, Cantonese, and Sichuanese.

In addition to the various food options that bring in a food carnival to gourmets, a couple of bars have brought a wide range of drinks to boozers left numerous intoxicating nights to this fascinating alley.

Comparing to the restaurants and bars spreading among the main streets of downtown or secluded in fancy malls, the ones parading along this deep alley just run their business like your old friends or neighbors that would always put the best deals on the table as they would never care about making money.
