不知道从什么时候开始，田子坊突然开始红火起来，不管是中国人还是外国人，大家都很乐意去田子坊逛逛，使之大有“小新天地”的趋势。小编不禁感叹那浓浓的小资情调对人的诱惑真是无限大。唉，说到田子坊，小编真是一把辛酸泪，好几次想去，最后都被这样那样的事给耽搁了，所以至今仍未成行，不甘心啊不甘心！故小编特意写了这篇文章来抚慰一下自己受伤的小心灵，顺便也给将要去田子坊的朋友们做个导向，去过的同学记得多提宝贵意见哦！

田子坊

Tianzifang

Tianzifang, also named Taikang Lu, is a residential building. It is transformed and furnished by old houses. Comparing with new modern buildings jungle, in Tianzifang you can find the special architecture of old shanghai city. There are bars, cafes, craft shops, studio, galleries, boutiques.

Walking down the narrow lane of Tianzi fang, you will be forgiven for wondering if you were really in cosmopolitan Shanghai. At a glance, Taikang Lu looks to be a mix of old and refurbished brick houses. However, do not be fooled by the traditional old lanes or wet clothes hanging on bamboo poles above your head. Taikang Lu sure deserves a second look. These days, many artists and local designers have set up boutiques and laid- back cafés that have been drawing crowds of yuppies, fashionistas, designers and expatriates.

田子坊位于上海市泰康路210弄，是一个由老石库门改建的保留一定民俗的艺术文化保护地，里面是弯曲的小街道，艺术类商店、餐馆和民居融合非常奇特。一批包括陈逸飞、尔冬升在内知名画家的产生也和这里有渊源，这里的小街道狭窄而弯曲，各种特色的店铺包括绘画、摄影、艺术品、特色餐馆相邻吸引了很多艺术工作者和观光人士。

石库门

Shikumen

The Shikumen, or literally "stone gate" is a style of housing in Shanghai, which blended features of east and west.

It has been this way since the mid-1800s, but how long will this lifestyle continue? local residents wonder. Because Shanghai has experienced many rebirths since becoming the prized treaty port for European powers in the mid-19th century, some see the shikumen as just another footnote waiting to be written into the city's tumultuous history. Tianzifang is such a building still kept well today.

A recent forum linked to the Shanghai Expo, which has adopted the theme 'Better City, Better Life', saw the launch of a research center and website to help study and protect the shikumen. A common declaration vowing to preserve the old architecture was also pronounced.

石库门应该何去何从？确实挺伤脑筋的，一方面它是上海海派文化的代表，应该保留下来；另一方面上海也在发展，而石库门里居民的住宅条件确实很需要得到改善，在这种情况下，很多石库门都难逃拆迁的厄运。其实，田子坊做了一个很好的尝试，让石库门以民宅之外的方式得以生存下来，并赋予了其新的生机和活力。
