2. Jing' An: Jing' An is also known as the Soho of Shanghai and when you arrive, you'll know why immediately. Jing' An is filled with luxury shopping malls and high end restaurants. If you take the metro to Jing' An you'll be right in the heart of town standing underneath a temple and surrounded by luxury. If you travel north on Wuning Road you'll find the area of Jing' An where more expats live. Yanping Lu specifically! There are many cafes, bars, restaurants and shops that will make you feel like you're wandering around a Chinese Williamsburg.
