Lujiazui's iconic skyline is used ubiquitously to depict the city and is, in many ways, not only a symbol of Shanghai but of the rise of China as a whole. The pocket of land nestled into a bend in the Huangpu River was a rice paddy in the early '90s yet is now home to dozens of skyscrapers, including the recently completed World Financial Center - the third tallest building in the world after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and Taipei 101. These buildings house more than 500 of the world's top financial and insurance companies and make the area China's de facto financial capital.
The scale of the development is incredible, even more so when one considers that it was done in less than 20 years -and that it's not finished yet. Construction is underway on Shanghai Tower, a third super-tall skyscraper in Lujiazui, which will eclipse the World Financial Center and become the second tallest building in the world at 632 meters. Slated for completion in 2014, the tower will become the tallest building in China and will no doubt become an icon which will define Shanghai for decades (if not centuries) to come.
As a place to live in Shanghai, Lujiazui is prized for the stunning views of the Bund over the Huangpu River from its luxury high-rise apartments. It's also a short ride to the Bund and French Concession and shopping and expat-oriented services are plentiful. Although some regard Lujiazui as a sterile concrete jungle, Shanghai's largest green zone, Century Park, is a short distance away (see next page).
High-rise luxury apartments are the primary form of residence in Lujiazui, with many of them lining the banks of the Huangpu River. As with their counterparts across the city, they're equipped with a range of services and facilities, and even residences at the bottom of the scale have indoor swimming pools, spas, tennis courts, yoga rooms, children's play areas and the like.
From the intersection of Pudian Lu and Yuanshen Lu, follow Pudian Lu southwest to the Huangpu River and Yuanshen Lu northwest to the Huangpu River to define the eastern borders of Lujiazui. The western border is the river itself.
