Dongjiadu, located in Shanghai, is a district with a rich history, being one of the earliest urban areas to form following the city’s opening to foreign trade. This area is renowned for housing one of the oldest Catholic churches in Shanghai and one of the earliest guildhalls. Historically, Dongjiadu was known for its fabric and clothing market. However, with the relocation of the market and the subsequent reconstruction of the nearby areas, Dongjiadu has evolved into a stylish district, now centered around the Old Wharf.
The district is welcoming to visitors throughout the year, offering full-day access for those who wish to explore its historical and contemporary charm.
