Neighboring Huangpu River to the east,ÑÇa=²ÊƱ-Shanghai Xuhui riverside area stretches 11 kilometers from Rihui Port in the north to Xupu Bridge in the south,with an area of 7.4 square kilometers.

Since 2007,Xuhui riverside area has taken advantage of its excellent location,broad hinterland,long bank line and rich waterfront resources to redevelop the former base of industry,warehousing and transportation into a high-end service industry cluster zone that integrates life science service industry,technological innovation services and recreational activities as a whole.

Various plants adaptable to Shanghai are widely planted here.With the adoption of??CORNICHE??concept,the overall riverside Longteng Avenue has been elevated by 6.5m so as to create the only waterfront landscape avenue capable of feasting our eyes on the beautiful scenery alongside Huangpu River in a car next to the Bund - the First Bay in Asia.
