Zhabei Auditing Bureau

While Zhabei Audit Bureau isn't a conventional tourist spot, this government building offers a fascinating glimpse into Shanghai's administrative prowess. The surrounding area showcases a vibrant blend of old Zhabei and new Jing'an—where sleek skyscrapers tower above beloved alleyway eateries. Come at dusk to witness the neighborhood transform as office workers stream out, and don't miss the legendary shengjian bao (pan-fried buns) at nearby decades-old stalls for an authentic local experience.
