location

Xu Guangqi, a famous figure in Ming Dynasty and a pioneer of cultural exchange between China and the West, once lived here. Later, his descendants lived here, hence the name Xujiahui. Under the guidance of Xu Guangqi, Catholicism developed in Shanghai. Later, Xujiahui became a region with strong Catholic atmosphere and strong European customs. Nowadays, you can still find various religious elements with a sense of time in Xujiahui's scenic spots, such as the former site of Notre Dame de Xujiahui and Xuhui Public School founded by Catholic missionaries.
