Zhoupu Town, nestled in the western part of Pudong New District, boasts a history stretching back to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279). Imagine a time when this town thrived as a vital water transportation hub in Pudong. Zhoupu wasn’t always a town. It started as a humble village, its name first appearing in the “Yunma Zhi” of 1193.

Today, remnants of the 1980s still linger in its charm. Beyond its commercial past, Zhoupu Town holds a rich agricultural heritage. It’s known as a center for Chinese folk art, particularly calligraphy and painting. It even bears the distinguished title of “community education demonstration town” in Shanghai.
