Zhongshan Park

Zhongshan Park is an urban green space in Changning District featuring meadows, rose gardens, and lotus ponds set alongside Cloud Nine shopping mall. The layout includes multiple walking areas and shaded zones beneath trees.

The green space was established in 1914 as Jessfield Park on land that previously belonged to British developer H. Fogg. It received its present name in 1944, honoring a key figure in Chinese history.

The park is named after Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a founder of the modern Chinese republic, reflecting Shanghai's ties to important historical figures. Visitors notice this connection throughout the space in how different areas are designed and named.

The park is accessible daily and can be reached by metro at Zhongshan Park station, which serves multiple lines. Plan your visit during comfortable weather and wear suitable clothing for walking through the different zones.

The southern section of the original site became the park itself, while the northern part was transformed into a major university campus. This spatial division reveals how the original property developed into two distinct institutions with different purposes.
