Going Underground: Shichahai, Line 8
 
Shichahai station, located just a stone’s throw from Houhai, is a sparkling new addition to the 
subway map, having been opened in late December last year. With the exception of East Shore Jazz Club and 4corners, the streets and hutong alleys that surround the great lake are mainly made up of unimpressive storefronts and 
irritating bars and restaurants. This month, we focus on some of the less talked about, but essential spots in the area, for those of you that think you know everything about the neighborhood. 
Hopefully, you’ll find there’s more to the area than you thought.
