South Huangpi Road (Shanghai Metro)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Huangpi Road South (simplified Chinese: 黄陂南路站; traditional Chinese: 黃陂南路站; pinyin: Huángpí Nán Lù Zhàn) is the name of a station on Shanghai Metro Line 1.

The station is situated within the inner-ringway, adjacent to Central Huaihai Road, the major up-market shopping street in Shanghai. This is also the station situated closest to Yuyuan Garden, however it is still quite a long walk so most people decide to take a taxi from here. Another important area, Xintiandi is located within walking distance though.

This neighbourhood was a residential district in the old French Concession. In recent years, the area was bought by a property developer and turned into an expensive restaurant district. Large-scale demolition has reduced the number of residents in the area, and replaced them with restaurants and large, Hong Kong-style shopping malls.
