Shanghai Photo Gallery - Hongkou Part 1

Located on the north side of the Huangpu, Hongkou has tremendous historic architecture among its gritty shikumen houses. Jewish refugees sought safety here during World War II, fleeing persecution in Germany. Hyatt on the Bund has a high floor bar offering a very different perspective of the Shanghai skyline. As it is located at the sharp river bend, its view is wide and includes Pudong's skyscrapers as well as the Bund's historic architecture.
