Situated on Fuxing Zhong Lu in Central Xuhui, Mingyuan Century City is a popular destination for both locals and expats. It is only a 5 minutes’ walk from the metro station, and is surrounded by a wide variety of shops and restaurants. This compound offers large apartments, with strange (dial-a-floor) elevators. They all boast large balconies, and the buildings are the only stark-white regal buildings you'll see in Shanghai. The compound is well equipped and maintained, with a Chinese-styled garden and a fancy leisure club.
