Fuxing Park on Postcard

"Fuxing Park has quite the history. It was a Ming Dynasty private garden until the French took it over in 1909. Then came the Japanese occupation of Shanghai during World War II untilthe early 1950s,after whichthe park again became Chinese. Today, the park is a vibrant gathering spot, wide open to the public. No matter the season, it's full of locals playing mah-jong, practicing tai chi, writing calligraphy, and flying kites amid the sycamore trees. Come early on a weekday morning to see the dancers, then walk over to the Mattress flower beds."

Daytime cities are charming, but there's a special chaos and blurred charm in the early AM – especially when surrounded by the wild memories of Shanghai's nightlife, spun from a 7-story club plunked in the middle of a literal park. They even have a wild gay club, CULTURE (4th fl), but my heart still beats for the Techno Club on the 6th. Had so much fun, it snowed when I stepped out. Planning a reunion with this nocturnal playground on my next Shanghai stint. Lol! 🌃❄️ #ShanghaiNights #ClubChronicles

This is a really well kept retreat in the busy city and a perfect place to spend either a few minutes or a number of hours relaxing. There’s loads of seating and a good mix of grass areas and flower beds with a number of statues giving plenty to admire. It’s a busy area during the day and offers lots of opportunities for people watching - groups of youngsters playing card games on the paths, couples singing by the water feature, and collections of locals practising on their varying musical instruments; it’s certainly a varied mix of local culture.

My very favorite place, quiet place with ponds and fountains, every weekend accompanied by people singing and dancing. I used to live around 200 meters away, therefore I had opportunity visiting park daily... if you like karaoke, dancing, chatting to people or even just a stroll with breakfast, this is the place where all can be offered.

Gorgeous park with a rose garden and fountain. Perfect for people watching if you’re a tourist as there’s people practicing martial arts and traditional calligraphy

Wonderful park. The space is clean and well used by both locals and visitors. Don’t miss the rose garden. You can grab a coffee and relax after a long day of shopping.

Such a great place to relax! I kept smiling the whole time I was there! People dancing, doing Tai chi, playing board games... The ponds and small flower gardens so beautiful! Worth spending sometime walking around and just relax!
