Fuxing Park, Urban park in former French Concession, Shanghai, China
Fuxing Park extends across 10 hectares of land, featuring French-style gardens with fountains, lakes, covered pavilions, and extensive flower beds throughout the grounds.
The park originated in 1909 as the largest green space in Shanghai, transitioning from a military camp during French occupation to its current status as a public recreation area.
Morning activities in the park include groups practicing tai chi, playing mahjong, dancing traditional dances, and engaging in card games near the Marx-Engels statue.
Located at 105 Fuxing West Road, the park welcomes visitors from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily, with access through multiple gates and nearby metro stations.
The park contains over 1,700 ancient plane trees and features a 2,000-square-meter lotus pond in its southwestern section with surrounding pavilion structures.
