Zhabei,formerly romanized asChapei,is a neighborhood and a former district ofShanghaiwith a land area of 29.26 km2(11.30 sq mi) and a resident population of 847,300 as of 2013. It is the location of theShanghai railway station,one of the main railway stations of Shanghai. On November 4, 2015, Zhabei was merged into the smaller but more centralJing'an District.[1]
Historically, the district has been highly populated with working class residents. However, due to the shift in the structure of industries and increasing number of immigrants from outside Shanghai, partly due to its reasonable real estate price (compared to its counterparts such asPutuoandHongkou), the district has become increasingly appealing to city residents.
