Parks in Shanghai
By Lainey | December 1, 2007
There are several parks in Shanghai for park-lovers and strollers out there. Here they are:
Century Park
Located at the heart of Pudong, and with its dedicated Metro Line 2 stop, Century Park in Pudong is great place to sit down, relax and smell the surrounding nature. There is a following of runners and Tai Chi practitioners here at any time of the day as well.
Xujiahui Park
This is a huge park in the middle of Xujiahui, which is accessible if you walk eastwards along Guangyuan Road. I have not actually gone strolling here, but I am told that there are ducks and other wildlife that live in this park.
Fuxing Park
This is a rather small park, not really known for strolling and wildlife, but more known for the resident entertainment establishments that are hidden within the park’s trees. There is Park 97, Lux and Guandii. Across the street from the park is a Partyworld branch.
You can still insist on strolling in this park if you must. There is a pond right across Guandii and several benches where you can sit and just rest. A lot of times, people coming from the clubs come out here to get a breath of fresh air. Sometimes groups of people come to the park with their own drinks and sit outside talking. There is no rule against doing this and is actually a pretty creative alternative to a Saturday night.
People’s Park
People’s Park is real pretty and a great place to hang out in especially now that they’ve opened establishments like Barbarossa and Starbucks within the park.
Barbarossa lights up the otherwise unlit park and appears like an oasis out of nowhere. There are ponds around People’s Park and therefore you may occasionally hear frogs croaking. Around the park are some of the architectural structures in Shanghai such as the Shanghai Art Museum, the Shanghai Cultural Center and the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum. This mix of nature and architectural art adds to the beauty of People’s Park.
