Pudong浦东新区

Mid-rangeExpat area

Not one neighbourhood but several: finance towers at Lujiazui, family compounds at Jinqiao and Biyun, research parks at Zhangjiang. Newer buildings than anywhere across the river, and much more space for the money — as long as you check what you are actually next to.
