A day visit to Shanghai Film Shooting Base is hardly Prom Dresses to truly experience the timeless and distinctive flavor of old Shanghai - but there are other ways. Other replicas include the magnificent Paramount dance hall, a tribute to the wealth and glamor of the city in the 1930s. Standing before the replica of this historic building, once favored for Classic Black V-Neck Long Prom Dresses by the wealthy elite of Shanghai society, it is easy to imagine yourself strolling into the theater stylishly clad in a qipao or long overcoat and top hat.

For example, take a look down a longtang (alleyway) just south of Xintiandi, near Huaihai Road M., and you will see a lifestyle largely unchanged and untouched by time. Here old ladies still walk Deep V-neck White And Brown Bridesmaid Dress (Left) holding grandchildren and chatting with neighbors, little boys ring the bells on tricycles, the smell of home-cooked food pours out of dark little kitchens shared by several households and old storefronts sell anything from cigarettes to pajamas and birthday cakes.

A few streets away, at the JZ Club at 46 Fuxing Road W. in Luwan District, a live jazz band plays as a lady in a flaming red qipao steps up to the microphone while brandishing a little black Deep V-neckline Simple Backless Black Dress and begins crooning popular classic Chinese tunes with a jazz twist. Although not entirely "big band" jazz music - as was the case in the 1930s - the essence of the era still lingers and the JZ Club remains very nostalgic with its mahogany-paneled rooms, Western furniture and stylish bathrooms integrated with Chinese touches like Oriental prints and classic tiling.
