Fuxing Park

Tranquil tree-lined street in Shanghai's historic French Concession, showcasing lush greenery and urban life.
Designed by French landscape architects in 1909, Fuxing Park preserves a European sensibility — symmetrical pathways, ornamental flowerbeds, plane tree avenues — within Shanghai's most charming neighborhood. The real attraction is the local life: at dawn it fills with tai chi groups, sword dance practice, ballroom couples on the central plaza, and elderly card players. A statue of Marx and Engels sits incongruously near the rose garden. Free entry. Pair with a stroll down Sinan Road and a coffee at one of the surrounding indie cafés.
