The Xuhui District is named after its namesake, the historic area of Xujiahui. Xujiahui was historically land owned by Ming dynasty bureaucrat and scientist Xu Guangqi, and later donated to the Roman Catholic Church. It and Luwan District jointly formed the core of Catholic Shanghai, centered in the former French Concession of Shanghai. Vestiges of the French influence can still be seen in the St. Ignatius Cathedral of Shanghai, Xuhui College, the Xujiahui Observatory, and some remaining boulevards and French-style districts.

Xujiahui itself has been redeveloped as a financial center, with a proliferation of large-scale shopping centers and department stores, and is now a major shopping destination in the city with shopping malls such as Grand Gateway Shanghai and Pacific Sogo.

History

Parts of today's Xuhui District were once the premier residential districts of Shanghai. The former French neighborhoods in parts of Xuhui today constitute some of the city's most popular café areas,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> including places such as pedestrian Tianzifang. After the revolution, however, the large estates near Xujiahui were turned into factories.
