Housed inside a reconstructed classical estate in Qingxi Ancient Town, this branch of the One Step Garden chain is a unique coffee shop that draws visitors driving from all over Shanghai. The venue occupies Nanyuan, or South Garden, a site dating back to the 1330s when the merchant Tao Yuquan built what is considered the earliest private garden in Fengxian District. After being destroyed during the Ming dynasty, the estate was rebuilt according to historical records.
The complex combines traditional Jiangnan and Huizhou architectural styles, featuring whitewashed walls, black tiled roofs, carved wooden beams, and courtyards centered on a pond and rockeries. Guests can sit in the spacious two-story historic halls or outside on garden terraces among potted plants and greenery.
In addition to coffee, the cafe serves teas, pastries, and Western light meals such as pizza. Positioned near the ancient town's canal and bridges, it makes for a quiet stop while exploring Qingxi Old Street.
