Donghu Road (东胡路) - the East Lake Road. The road is about 500 metres long... there could be a lake here before but I am just speculating.This road has been my "second" home 
for the last 6 months. My office is located on this road... strangely enough I did not know this road exists till I went for my 1st interview in the company that I am working for now.
for the last 6 months. My office is located on this road... strangely enough I did not know this road exists till I went for my 1st interview in the company that I am working for now.What's famous on this road is the Donghu Hotel. Consisting
of seven separate buildings, it takes up most of the area in Donghu Road... trees and flowers surround the buildings, making this road graceful and pleasant to walk on.

Willy's corner. Not apparently visible from the main road, one needs to go in through the little tube to see the old two storey house where El Willy is. A Spanish Restaurant, that I must recom
mend for their tapas and rice dishes and also for using the freshest ingredients for their dishes, this place also has a wine bar at the back and a little shop consisting of little cube shelves for anyone/ burgeoning artists who would like to sell their stuff but has no proper store yet. On saturdays 11 to 2pm they also have a farmer's market- a few tables selling really really good tasting vegetables! I can testify for this!

I can testify for this!My office is in the old villa across diagonally to El Willy's. An old building where I bet is gonna turn into something spectacular (hopefully) in the next 6 month
s. Our office space in the Old Villa building has been taken over by the owner because they want to do something to it. So... I would be re-locating next month.

I feel that Donghu Road is a little unknown gem in the French concession... the Cheng Cheng Restaurant- all in blue is a very unique thematic restaurant. Jenny's Bar- nice and quiet if one wants to enjoy a drink without the crowd. The florist shop next to it... is just the perfect
complement to the whole street. One can usually find themselves hearing to nice music on this road thanks to the sidestreet CD sellers. I love Donghu Road. Hence this post is wholly dedicated to her!
