The former site of Xujiahui Observatory is located at No. 166 Puxi Road, in the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau. A three-story building stands quietly in the center of the courtyard, in the classical Roman architectural style, facing north. There are three floors in the middle of the front, open-air stairs on both sides leading through the round arch gate on the second floor, rose windows on the third floor, and flat-top open-air balconies. Meteorological instruments such as anemometers at the top of the center of the small building indicate the function of the building and become a unique symbol of the building.
