The Gurdwara Shanghai is the site of a former Sikh gurdwara in the Hongkou District of Shanghai, China and is a registered cultural relic.[1][2] It was built from 1907 to 1908[2][3] to meet the religious needs of Indian patrolmen and other Sikhs who had come over with the British.[2] At the time of its construction, it was part of the Shanghai International Settlement, an area of Shanghai which was jointly administered by British and American authorities under a treaty with China. The site is now a residence and serves as a community health clinic.[4]
