An article titled "A well-known old bakery at 85 degrees C is full of "frustrated" Shanghai elderly people" has sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Shanghai has 6,248 elderly activity rooms, 487 comprehensive service centers for the elderly, and 3,720 good neighbor points.

Many of Shanghai’s aging-friendly practices are worth copying and promoting across the country. For example, grassroots streets and village committees have more than 100 square meters of space to serve the elderly.
