Traveler reviews
Mo El-Haj
★★★★★8 months agoThe area around 260 Changshou Road in Putuo has a lively, welcoming feel, with a steady rhythm that makes everyday life quite pleasant. The streets are easy to navigate, lined with convenient shops, cafés and small local spots that give the neighbourhood its character. It feels safe, well connected and comfortable for wandering about, and there is a nice balance between the energy of the district and the quieter residential corners nearby.
