For Bahar Jena Vossoughi, who has been living in Minhang for 16 months, Huacao Town is a comfortable place. She not only sees it as her second home beyond her home country France, but also would like to recommend Huacao to more foreigners.
As she said, Huacao is very well located. It is not far from the city center and near Hongqiao International Airport and the National Exhibition and Convention Center. “All the components for living here in Huacao Town for international residents are good. The only thing is to have to make sure the management is doing a good job in the compound, so the expat family will come here. Besides, international schools are here,” said Jena, adding that when expats arrive in Shanghai, one of the first choices real estate agencies recommend is Huacao.
