Anting ( Chinese  安亭 鎮  /  安亭 镇 , Pinyin Āntíng Zhèn ) is a large Chinese municipality . It is located in the Jiading district of the government- direct city ​​of Shanghai , around 34 km west of the center of Shanghai on the border with neighboring Jiangsu Province . Anting has an area of ​​89.28 km² and around 83,900 inhabitants (2009).

Economy and Infrastructure

The automobile museum in Anting

Anting is one of the centers of the Chinese automotive industry; this is the location of the German-Chinese joint venture Shanghai Volkswagen , the company with the largest market share in China for the passenger car sector . However, Anting will soon be exceeded many times over by the planned Autostadt in the course of the city expansion of Changchun in northern China.

The Shanghai International Circuit , China's first Formula 1 race track to host the Chinese Grand Prix, is located near the community .

The first car museum in China , which opened in 2007, is located in Anting .

The test center of the electric car company Nio is also located in Anting.

The municipality's train station, Anting North Railway Station, is one of 21 stops on the Shanghai – Nanjing Intercity High-Speed ​​Railway .

In addition, the location can be quickly reached from Shanghai city center by line 11 of the modern Shanghai Metro .

Anting German Town

Anting New Town

In the south of the large community, a new housing estate based on the German model, designed by the architects AS&P ( Albert Speer und Partner GmbH, Frankfurt am Main), was built in 2007 as part of the expansion to the Autostadt Anting or Anting New Town ( Chinese  安亭 新 镇 , Pinyin Āntíng Xīn Zhèn ) : German Town Anting ( Chinese 安亭 德国镇 , Pinyin Āntíng Déguó Zhèn ). It is part of the urban development project “ One City, Nine Towns ”. The exemplary settlement was built mainly with 4-story houses according to German building standards and taking ecological aspects into account. The streets and public spaces are kept compact in the style of German medium- sized cities and are loosened up with benches, fountains and green spaces .  

As of 2011, Anting German Town repeatedly hit the headlines as a ghost town , especially in German and English media. The district has a living space capacity for 25,000 people. In contrast, the number of inhabitants is said to have risen to just 7,000 by 2014. The main causes were the location, accessibility and high property prices.

For a condominium in Anting German Town in 2010 around 13,000 Renminbi per square meter had to be paid, which corresponds to around 1,600 euros. However, the price per square meter in the inner ring of Shanghai was already up to 30,000 Renminbi at that time, and even higher in the direct center. As of 2012, the Shanghai city government provided the necessary funds to expand the infrastructure . The Shanghai subway line 11 has been in Anting since October 2014, followed by schools and kindergartens. At the same time, since 2015, enormous increases in house prices have been driving people from Shanghai's city center to the city limits - and thus to Anting too.
