Xujiahui is the popular commercial area of Shanghai's Xuhui district.

[edit] Get in

Metro Line 1 runs under Xujiahui, and Xujiahui station is one of the biggest metro stations in Shanghai. The station connects most, if not all, big shopping malls in the Xujiahui commercial circle and contains an underground market all the way along the station from Hongqiao Road to Nandan Road.

If you're looking for anything electronic, this is the place to start. Pacific Digital Plaza Phase 2 is the place to start, conveniently connected to exit number 10 of the Metro station. There are more electronics markets nearby, such as Pacific Digital Plaza Phase 1 and Buynow. Popular game consoles such as Wii, PS3, and Xbox360 are abundantly available as are laptops, MP3 players, memory cards, and computer accessories. The metro station exits at the intersection of 5 roads. There's at least one shopping mall on each of the 5 corners. Grand Gateway is the most upscale of them, and also the best-air conditioned in the summertime (you'll find that info useful if you visit in July or August). The 5th and 6th floors of Grand Gateway offer a good selection of restaurants.

• Uighur Restaurant (维吾尔餐厅), 280 Yi Shan Rd., ☎ 021-62550843. Claims to be the "original" Xinjiang cuisine restaurant in the city, and probably the best-known. The typical main dishes are moderately spicy preparations of lamb, but the menu also features some rather adventurous items like camel feet, sheep's eyeballs, and a bull's you-know-what. Also music and dance shows with the obligatory audience participation.  edit
• Also, the basement of MetroCity has a Foodrepublic, a food court of sorts housing many different restaurants including a Burger King. They don't accept cash (Most of them- the restaurants that have their own seating area separate take both cash and cards), so you'll have to add money to (and put down a deposit for) a stored-value card specific to the other Foodrepublics. You can see plastic models of all the dishes before you order them, though, so you'll have a decent idea of what you're getting ahead of time. Expect copious MSG, but delicious food.
