Visiting
What to see, eat and drink in Hongkou
OpenStreetMap maps 213 restaurants, 66 cafes and 4 bars and pubs counted in Hongkou, and 62 named sights: museums and galleries, parks, monuments, viewpoints and other attractions. They are counted the same way as the places to stay: each place goes to the area whose centre is nearest, within that area's reach. This rule has no boundaries, so places near the edge can fall in a neighbouring area's count.
