Step away from the city’s hustle and enter a hidden gem tucked away in a traditional Shanghai longtang (lane). Over 1 to 2 hours, you’ll discover the meditative art of Chinese calligraphy in an intimate setting that feels like a step back in time.
Under the guidance of your host, you’ll learn the fundamentals of brush control and ink flow. You can choose your “canvas” for the day: practice your strokes on traditional rice paper, create a functional piece of art on a classic folding fan, or write on a small decorative board that is ready to be framed and displayed.
To complement your creative journey, we’ve included a delightful tea tasting. Sip on premium Chinese tea paired with authentic local snacks, allowing the flavours and the peaceful environment of the old house to enhance your focus and flow.
You’ll leave with your own hand-written calligraphy masterpieces to take home—a unique, personal souvenir of your time in Shanghai. Hosted in a beautifully preserved old house, this experience offers a rare and genuine glimpse into the elegant, quiet side of local Shanghai life.
