Home to book, art supply and stationery shops, the entire stretch of Fuzhou Lu near Shaanxi Nan Lu is a treasure trove of all things arts and craft. We suggest dropping into Shanghai Art Store (at 402 Fuzhou Lu) – it’s small but mighty, with just about anything budding artists need to create their masterpiece from canvases and easels of all sizes to walls of rainbow-coloured paints, markers and traditional calligraphy brushes and ink. There’s also a solid selection of trophies and certificates.
