It was challenging. This one took a lot more glue than others. Thank goodness for the spare parts. The switch is working well, but needs to be tightened once in a while.

Wenn Sie jemals durch die Straßen des alten Shanghai geschlendert sind, haben Sie seinen Puls gespürt: eine Stadt, die im Rhythmus des Jazz lebendig ist und in deren engen Gassen der Duft von Tee liegt. Wenn die Dämmerung hereinbricht, flackern Laternen unter kunstvollen Fassaden auf, und das Summen ferner Straßenbahnen mischt sich mit den leisen Gesprächen aus versteckten Teehäusern. Hier traf der Osten im goldenen Licht der 1930er-Jahre auf den Westen – eine Ära voller Eleganz, Geheimnisse und zeitlosem Charme.

What an amazing puzzle project! We had such a great time working on this and my elderly mother loved watching it get assembled.
Robin W.Verified Builder

What a great build. The product quality is top notch. So many details to contribute to the story. The outside walls tell a story too. The lighting was very easy to follow.
Annette K.Verified Builder

Assembling this brought me so much joy! Meditative process, and the intricacy is phenomenal.

WHY YOU WILL BUILD THIS
There was a time when vintage trams moved through cobbled streets, jazz escaped from hidden clubs, and glowing lanterns illuminated grand Art Deco façades.
Shanghai was known as the Paris of the East,a city where cultures collided, nightlife flourished, and every narrow alley seemed to hold another story.
Most people can only experience that era through old photographs. You get to rebuild it.

Pre-wired LED set
