Xuhui Riverside: culture, green space, and easy connections

Set in Xuhui Riverside, West Bund Central Residences places you near one of Shanghai’s most vibrant cultural corridors. The West Bund area blends contemporary art venues and waterfront parks with a relaxed, outdoorsy rhythm. On weekends, locals cycle or jog along the riverside promenade, and museum-goers head to institutions such as the West Bund Museum and the Long Museum (West Bund). Cafes, bakeries, and creative studios punctuate former industrial spaces, giving the neighborhood a distinctly modern, design-forward feel.

Close by, the Dapuqiao area and Taikang Road’s Tianzifang offer a different mood: winding lanes, galleries, and intimate eateries in renovated shikumen alleys. It is a lively spot for brunch with visiting friends or for discovering local designers. For daily needs, you will find international grocers, boutique fitness studios, and well-regarded coffee roasters scattered throughout Xuhui, all reachable by a quick ride or metro hop.

Transport is straightforward. Damuqiao Road Station on Lines 4 and 12 connects you efficiently across the city, with easy transfers to business districts and shopping streets like Huaihai Road and Nanjing West Road.
