To show more of Shanghai's diversity (earlier posts:
an introduction;
Xiaonanmen;
Xuhui District;
Jing'an District;
Hongkou District;
near the Huangpu River), I will share some photos from Dachang Town. In the south of Baoshan District (
map) in northern Shanghai, Dachang Town covers over 27 square kilometers (over 10 square miles) and has a population of over 370,000 (
overview of Dachang Town in Chinese)*. Looking at several maps it appears that most (if not all) of my walk was in Qian Creek Village -- just a small part of Dachang Town, which itself is just a part of Baoshan District.
In this post I will highlight some of the sections that appeared to be more recently developed in comparison to other sections that I will later share. The photos are presented in the order I first encountered the scenes.

*The only
map I could find showing Dachang Town's borders is in Chinese and from 2007.
