Oriental Manhattan, 168 Hongqiao Rd

If location is a priority, then Oriental Manhattan is a good option. It’s situated in Xujiahui, the heart of Xuhui District. It’s within walking distance of the Xujiahui shopping district, parks, and public transport. And it’s just around the corner from a number of Xujiahui’s historic heritage sites – the Xu Guangxi Memorial Hall, the Xujiahui Cathedral (i.e. St. Ignatius Cathedral), the Bibliotheca Zi-Ka-Wei, and more. The compound is divided into two main phases, though the developer originally built three phases. On one side, high-rise buildings house modern, balcony-equipped apartments. From some units, the view looks over the beautiful waterscaping and meandering walkways down below.
