The very centre of Shanghai is relatively small and much of this district is easy to walk around. On the western side of Shanghai, the Pu Xi neighbourhood features a gridwork of roads and a number of landscaped Chinese gardens, such as the 17th century Yu Gardens, along An Ren Road. Lined with boutiques, shops and restaurants, Huai Hai Road is a trendy part of Shanghai's Pu Xi district and stretches for around 6 km / 4 miles. Those looking for colonial history and impressive Art Deco style architecture should consider a visit to the Bund area of Pu Xi, while nearby, the Jing An neighbourhood offers a quiet park in the heart of the city.

On the eastern side of central Shanghai you will find the Pu Dong district, which has expanded greatly in recent years. This area is dominated by the spectacular Oriental Pearl TV Tower, which offers an observation deck and outstanding views of the cityscape.
