Lujiazui

Overview

Lujiazui is a major financial district located in Pudong on the eastern bank of the Huangpu River, directly across from the Bund. Travellers visit to view dense modern skyscraper architecture, walk the elevated circular pedestrian bridge, and browse large commercial centers.

Getting There

From central hubs like People's Square, take Metro Line 2 directly to Lujiazui Station. The transit journey takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes.

Recommended Time

Plan for 2 to 3 hours to walk the central plazas, explore the surrounding streets, and visit the commercial areas.
