Changning Raffles City, situated at the intersection of Changning Road and Kaixuan Road, boasts a total construction area of approximately 360,000 square meters. This impressive development features two shopping malls and three office buildings.
The project stands on the historical grounds of St. Mary’s Girls’ School, which was once attended by the renowned writer Zhang Ailing. In homage to its rich past, several historical buildings have been meticulously restored and constructed within the complex. Among these architectural treasures is a century-old bell tower, which stands solemn and quiet, a testament to the passage of time and the sediment of history.
Within the bustling business district of Shanghai’s Changning Raffles City, one can find an ‘old house’ dating back to 1926. The ‘bell tower’ serves not only as a relic of history but also as a bridge to the past, a reminder of its former grandeur amidst the modern commercial surroundings.
Changning Raffles City is open to visitors all year round, with operating hours from 10:00 to 22:00 daily.
