About this place
Putuo is a residential and cultural district in Shanghai, located along Suzhou Creek and served by multiple metro lines. While less frequented by international tourists than central Shanghai districts, it offers a genuine slice of local life and is home to one of the city's most significant contemporary art hubs.
The district blends older neighborhoods with newer commercial developments. Its main drawcard for visitors is the thriving artist community at the M50 art district, set within a repurposed textile factory. Beyond the galleries, Putuo provides a network of local parks, shopping, and dining that reflects everyday Shanghai.
