Shanghai Scenery Around Xujiahui

This series of picture was taken on top of the Metro Tower. It shows the buildings and parks in the Xujiahui Area - one of the central business districts in Shanghai.

Below: The Xujiahui Residential Area. In my previous article of Hand-Made Map of Shanghai, I said "Xujiahui is the most romantic area of the city." Someone asked why? You cna se the reason in this picture - it is the peace place hidden in the tree. Despite of unstoppable construction any where in the city, the heart of the Xujiahui are still occupied by some nice houses left from the early years of the last century.

In the picture above, you can see the Hilton Shanghai building and the Shanghai Library (the white building on the left), Regal Hotel (the tall building on the right with green glasses) and Hengshang Hotel (the lower building on the front)

This is the scene looking eastward from Xujiahui. You can see the Oriental Pearl TV Station on the left and the Jinmao Tower on the right. They are the new land marks for the city of Shanghai

Below: The arch in the scene is the newly constructed Lupu Bridge, crossing the Huangpu River.

I am afraid I couldn't understand anything in your comment. Is it by design (not to be understood) or...

Hello Jian Shou,

I am planning to visit Shanghai in october and I found your pictures really good. They gave me a good idea of what to expect... I can't wait to get there! Also your website is pretty kool. I specially enjoyed your story regarding your passport. (Don't worry the administration is pretty useless in many countries!).

Regards from a French man :-)

Shanghai is a city full of tall buildings. It's a very sad sight. If u look at other metropolitian cities, you will see that most of them have a flat landscape (Execpt maybe New York, but ny has all its buldings cluster into one area.)

Tall bulding is not everything. Seeing these pictures, i just think we are living in many steel-made cages. I like countryside scene very much.especially green mountains,trees, grasses,flowing rivulet, and so on.

Hi mr wang,
My parents are going to visit shanghai in late september. They wanted to stay in Xujiahui area since it is close to where my sisters are studying at the moment (SNU). Are there any good hotels that u can recommend? We are looking for a hotel that will be in a good neighbourhood and close to food and transport. Btw, how far is it from Xujiahui to downtown Nanjing Road area? Ur suggestions and help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
