Living in the French Concession with Kids

Le Petit Lotus Bleu is located on Hengshan Lu, in the heart of Shanghai's former French Concession. Here's our family guide to the neighbourhood.

A human-scale neighbourhood

Tree-lined streets, art deco villas, local shops... The Xuhui district offers an exceptional living environment, far from the bustle of Pudong's towers. It's one of the most sought-after areas for expat families.

Family outings

  • Fuxing Park: the neighbourhood's most beautiful park, perfect for Wednesday afternoons
  • Shanghai Library: children's section with books in multiple languages
  • Wulumuqi Lu Market: street market with fresh fruit and imported products

Getting around

The neighbourhood is well served by the metro (lines 1 and 7 nearby). On foot or by bike, everything is accessible within minutes — a real luxury in Shanghai.
