This leafy grid of six streets in Heping District holds more than 2,000 early-20th-century villas in British, Italian, French, German and Spanish styles, earning it the nickname 'Expo of Worldwide Buildings'. Wandering the shaded sidewalks past former mansions of warlords and celebrities is completely free and feels like stepping into 1920s Europe. Many old homes now house cafes if you want a break.
