Putuo District, Administrative district in Shanghai, China.

The Putuo District stretches across 54.83 square kilometers along Suzhou Creek, encompassing residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and public parks in western Shanghai.

The district evolved from agricultural lands into an urban center during Shanghai's industrialization period, incorporating the ancient Zhenru Temple built in 1320.

East China Normal University and numerous art galleries at M50 Creative Park contribute to the educational and artistic development of Shanghai's western region.

Shanghai Metro lines 3, 4, 7, 11, and 13 connect Putuo District with other parts of the city through multiple stations and interchanges.

The Yuan-Dynasty Sluice Gate Museum displays archaeological remains discovered during construction work, featuring an elevated walkway above ancient water management structures.
