Puxi literally means "Huangpu East" or "East of the Huangpu". Puxi is separated from Pudong, to the east, by the Huangpu river. Despite efforts to promote Pudong, Puxi remains the cultural and entertainment center of Shanghai. The two main shopping centers, Huahai Lu and Xu Jia Hui, the major bar streets such as Maoming Lu and Julu Lu, and cultural centers such as The Bund, the Shanghai Grand Theater, and the Shanghai Museum are all in Puxi. Puxi is also the home of approximately 90% of Shanghai's residents. Shanghai's old airport, Hongqiao Airport, is located in Puxi however all international flights, flights to Hong Kong and Macao, and flights to most major cities have been moved to Shanghai Pudong International Airport|Pudong International Airport. Government policy is apparently to move all flights to any location from Hongqiao to Pudong at the same time to avoid placing the two airports in direct competition. This is probably avoids embarassment as a taxi to Hongqiao takes less than 30 minutes and US$10 whereas Pudong International Airport is far from all major business areas and can take an hour and US$25. Pudong and Puxi are connected by several tunnels, four major bridges, and Shanghai Metro|Metro line 2. The Shanghai Railway Station is also in Puxi.
