Songjiang Hotels

Songjiang District of Shanghai has a land area of 604.56 sqkm and a population of 490,300 as of 2001. Its main town is Songjiang, connected to Shanghai by railway. The buildings in Songjiang's Old Street are at least twice as old as the edifices that tourists flock to see in Zhouzhuang, two hours outside Shanghai. And Songjiang's buildings are much more beautiful. They're in better physical shape than Zhouzhuang's, and are a unique part of Shanghai's history. The Songjiang train station, originally built in 1909, was a well-known example of early 20th century 'Western architecture with Chinese characteristics'. It was a favorite backdrop for films depicting the flight and dislocation of the '30s and '40s.
