Yangpu hotels like a local.
Yangpu is Shanghai’s student-and-startup district, with university streets, mall-heavy Wujiaochang and a revived industrial riverfront that gives you a less obvious base than the Bund.
About Yangpu
Yangpu sits in northeast downtown Shanghai and covers about 60.61 sq km. You come here for education-heavy Shanghai, including Fudan University and Tongji University, plus the contrast between the Jiangwan–Wujiaochang commercial area, Daxue Road’s youth-culture strip and Yangpu Riverside, a 15.5 km Huangpu River shoreline that the district describes as the longest riverside bank among Shanghai’s central-city districts.
