It's often been said that the true essence of travel transcends merely admiring picturesque landscapes, however wonderful – among other things, it's about indulging in the tantalizing culinary delights of the seasons.
As spring blossoms in all its glory, there's no better time to embark on a gastronomic adventure and immerse yourself in the cultural treasures of Guangfulin Cultural Relics Park – located in the Songjiang district of East China's Shanghai.
One Step café
Nestling in the park is One Step, once the dwelling of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) luminary Fan Jingwen. But this isn't your average café; it's a living testament to history.
A bastion of classic Huizhou architecture, One Step has gracefully evolved into an artistic haven, blending coffee culture, lazy afternoon teas and delectable Western fare.
Picture yourself on a balmy spring afternoon, savoring a slice of matcha mille crepe cake paired with a refreshing cup of cinnamon apple tea – sheer perfection! [Photo/WeChat account: sheshanlvyou]
