Ti Gong

Since the formulation of the country's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), Shanghai's Jiading District has been actively promoting the planning and construction of new towns, putting ideas into practice, improving urban functions, and advancing the city's image.

During this period, happy and livable homes have been the focus of Jiading's new city construction. The district has spent a lot of attention on the construction of cultural venues, as well as the construction of commercial patterns.

Around the central activity area of Jiading New City, Jiading District has built the "Yuanxiang Cultural Circle," with Yuanxiang Lake Park as its core, surrounded by Poly Theater, Jiading Library, Jiangnan Bookstore, Citizen's Cultural Stations, and other leisure and cultural venues.

In addition to modern cultural venues, Jiading District has also built the "Ximen Historical and Cultural Neighborhood" in the old city area, which represents the humanistic history of Jiading and has a planning area of 0.16 square meters.

To increase its popularity and activate the consumer market, Jiading New Town has built more than 21 commercial bodies of more than 10,000 square meters, forming a balanced distribution and a variety of commercial patterns.

In addition, it has organized a series of activities such as the "Jiading Shopping Festival," "Automobile Consumption Festival," and "Malu Grape Festival."
