Old Ladies’ House

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:57:19

The Old Ladies’ House was a shelter for Portuguese refugees from Shànghǎi in WWII and later, a home for elderly women. It’s now run by an art organisation, Albergue SCM, which organises cultural events here. The two yellow colonial-style buildings sit in a poetic courtyard with magnificent old camphor trees. Fashion boutique Lines Lab and Portuguese grocery shop Mercearia Portuguesa are here.
