Bemerkung:
Text engl./chi. Mit Bildern v. Gong Jianhua u. Zhu Hong.- Shanghai Longtang is a lane in Shanghai and, by extension, a community centred on a lanes or several interconnected lanes. It is sometimes called lilong the latter name incorporates the -li suffix often used in the name of residential developments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Shanghai longdang is loosely equivalent to the hutong of Beijing. As with the term hutong, the Shanghai longdang can either refers to the lanes that the houses face onto, or a group of houses connected by the lane.A large variety of housing styles are called "lilong residences" in Shanghai. Of these, the best known and most characteristic is the shikumen, two- or three-storey terrace houses with a wall and large gate in front of each dwelling. Other types include the more modern "new style lilong"; the simplified "Cantonese style lilong" the high-end villa-like "garden lilong"; and the higher density "apartment lilong".
