Shanghai Minhang District: A Highland of Science, Education, Culture and Modern Industry in the Southwest of Shanghai

Minhang District is located in the southwest of Shanghai, China, and is the frontier of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. It is connected to Xuhui and Changning in the east, Songjiang and Qingpu in the west, Huangpu River in the south, and Hongqiao Business District in the north, with a total area of 371.68 square kilometers, and a population of more than 2.5 million residents. As an important base for science, education and culture in Shanghai, Minhang District is home to more than 20 higher education institutions and research institutes, including Shanghai Jiaotong University, East China Normal University and East China University of Science and Technology, and has a high density of intellectual resources. Minhang District has a strong industrial base, focusing on strategic emerging industries such as high-end equipment, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, etc. The southern part of Hongqiao International Central Business District is located here, relying on the Hongqiao Comprehensive Transportation Hub (including high-speed rail, airport and metro), to build a modern transportation system of "air-rail intermodal transportation". Meanwhile, cultural and tourism landmarks such as Qibao Ancient Town, Jinjiang Paradise, and Zaojialou Ancient Town are blending history and modernity to form a development pattern of "integration of industry and city, livable and workable", which is an important bearing area for Shanghai to build a modern socialist international metropolis with global influence.
