Walking tours take in diverse Shanghai history
Last time we brought you three walking routes in the central city, and this time we will move a little bit northeast to Hongkou and Yangpu districts.
Great Shanghai Project
The Great Shanghai Project was initiated in 1927 by the Kuomintang government, which was eager to take control of the city at a time when the central area of Shanghai was occupied by foreign concessions. The government built new developments in today鈥檚 Jiangwan area in Yangpu District, which became the political center of the city. Now it鈥檚 known as Wujiaochang, the commercial heart of Yangpu District.

Jewish Refugees鈥 Ark
More than 20,000 Jewish refugees escaped from the Nazi terror in Europe to Shanghai in the 1930s and 40s. They settled in the Tilanqiao area of Hongkou District, the safe shelter provided by local residents. Although many Jews lived in poverty in the city, they still felt grateful for the help of warmhearted Chinese neighbors.
