Miss Wang from Xuhui has her own wharf

The former site of the Xujiahui Catholic Library Although there are no neon lights of Huanghe Road, nor the strong aroma of coffee on Jinxian Road, there is only the chant of a hundred-year Gothic style. It is known as the largest cathedral in the Far East. Next to it is the Xujiahui Academy, which has a literary atmosphere. Similarly bustling with people coming and going, might this 'wharf' have its own unique charm?
