Directions

One of Shanghai's oldest parks, originally laid out in the early 20th century with a mix of English garden design and Chinese landscaping, featuring mature trees, a rose garden, and a small amusement area. Locals come here for morning exercises, ballroom dancing, and card games under the plane trees — it's a genuine slice of everyday Shanghai life. The park connects directly to a major metro hub, making it extremely convenient. Avoid the small paid amusement rides if you're just here for the atmosphere.
