Gubei (Chinese: 古北; Shanghainese: ku2poh4; Mandarin pinyin: Gǔběi) is an affluent residential area located in Changning District, Shanghai and covers an area of 136.6 hectares (338 acres). Gubei is best known as an enclave of East Asian expatriates in Shanghai, including those from Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. As a result, Gubei is sometimes informally referred to as "Little Tokyo", "Little Taipei" or "K-town". Gubei has a Koreatown neighborhood. Gubei also has a significant number of expatriates from Europe and North America. Administratively, it comprises two residential communities (居委会). Despite its distinct identity, Gubei itself is not an independent administrative unit. Key residential communities in Gubei include: Gubei Xincheng (古北新城), Gubei Hongyuan (古北虹苑), Ronghua Residential Committee (荣华居委会), Huashan Residential Committee (华山居委会)[1]
