People’s Square Apartments and Neighborhood Info

People's Square is both an important transport hub and a cultural center. The square is home to Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theater and Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. Across the road lies People's Park (a racetrack prior to 1949), which is a lovely spot with a Western café-restaurant-club set in the middle of a beautiful man-made lake. On weekends, the park sees one of the city's most interesting local occurrences when hundreds of parents gather to match-make their sons and daughters. Local parents, with printed descriptions of their offspring, mingle to swap details in a bid to set up their unmarried children with those of other parents.

If you choose to live around here, you will experience full-on urban living. There are plenty of high-end apartment buildings (such as serviced apartments in the Marriott Hotel) offering great views and facilities, as well as smaller, more local medium-priced places. It is an expensive area to live, since you're paying for the location, but it is also full of locals in more basic accommodations, so there are good deals to be had with some searching. You might find somewhere quieter in the smaller streets to the north, but space will be limited and amenities like electricity may not be as reliable as the buildings are older. Many are in need of renovation.

As a location, you could not find one more centrally situated. Transport is convenient, and in one direction you're a 30-minute walk from the Bund, in the other you're heading deeper into Nanjing Lu and Puxi and can cut south for the French Concession. There are some interesting lanes to the north; as you go south you'll hit Huaihai Lu and then Xintiandi about a kilometer away.
