Gubei, Changning: international, convenient, and pleasantly green

Gubei has long been one of Shanghai’s most established international communities, prized for its orderly streets, low-key ambiance, and excellent daily amenities. You are within easy reach of Metro Line 10 stations such as Yili Road and Shuicheng Road, putting key hubs like Xintiandi and Lujiazui within a straightforward ride. For flights and high-speed trains, the Hongqiao transport hub is typically a short drive, depending on traffic.

Food shopping is effortless: the Takashimaya department store on Hongqiao Road has a refined food hall for Japanese staples and quality imports, while nearby specialty grocers and bakeries stock cheeses, breads, and pantry essentials. Dining spans cozy ramen counters and Korean barbecue to European-style cafés. On weekends, wander the landscaped Huangjincheng Road promenade, a beloved pedestrian greenway with water features and shaded seating, ideal for a jog or a relaxed stroll.

Families and professionals alike benefit from proximity to well-regarded international schools and activity clubs in the Hongqiao–Gubei area, along with fitness studios, clinics, and language schools. In the evenings, the neighborhood stays friendly but never hectic, with enough nightlife to stay interesting without sacrificing quiet. Gubei delivers a polished, livable rhythm that many expats seek: cosmopolitan options when you want them, and calm, tree-lined streets when you do not.
