Shanghai/Nanhui
Nanhui is much less developed than the Downtown Pudong area to the North, but still populous (about a million in the 2010 census), industrialized and growing. However, it is not densely populated compared to more central regions of Shanghai; the land area is quite large.
Within Nanhui are a number of areas with their own distinctive character.
Get in
Nanhui is well connected by road to central Pudong to the north, and to Minhang and Fengxian districts to the west.
