About Shui On and Shanghai Xintiandi


Shanghai Xintiandi is a popular entertainment hub in the city centre imbued with Shanghai's historical and cultural legacies. It is a re-creation born out of the sprawls of Shikumen housing, which is the architectural symbol of early 20th century Shanghai. Xintiandi was created by converting Shikumen residential blocks into a multifunctional business and entertainment centre flowing with restaurants, boutiques, cafes and bars of an international standard.

Shanghai Xintiandi consists of two blocks, echoing its unique "yesterday-meets-tomorrow" design concept: the North Block is mainly composed of renovated Shikumen buildings, representing yesterday while the South Block contains mostly modern architecture, symbolising tomorrow. A pedestrian walkway links up the shops and restaurants in the two blocks.

The principal investor of Shanghai Xintiandi is the Shui On Group, which was founded in Hong Kong in 1971 by Mr. Vincent H.S. Lo. Through the years he has built Shui On from a small construction company into a diversified group engaged in property development, construction and construction materials with interests in Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and North America.
