  1. Visit the canal town of Qibao (Line 9)
  2. Go shopping along Line 7 – see this Cityweekend article for more details!
  3. Buy some souvenirs or eat al fresco at Tianzifang at Taikang Lu, close to Dapuqiao (Line 9)
  4. Wander the streets of the Old Town near Xiaonanmen (Line 9)
  5. Grab some sportswear at Decathlon at Longyang Road (Line 2 and 7)
