Xujiahui Park, Urban park in Xuhui District, Shanghai, China.
Xujiahui Park is an 84,700-square-metre artificial green space in Xuhui District, built in three phases on the grounds of the former Great China Rubber Factory and the Shanghai branch of China Record. It keeps the factory's 1926 chimney and a French-style red-brick building, and its lake is shaped like the Huangpu River, crossed by bridges standing for four Shanghai bridges.
Xujiahui Park opened in 1999 on the former grounds of the Great Chinese Rubber Works Factory and the EMI Recording Studio. The first phase, on 3.3 hectares of the rubber factory site, kept a large chimney built in 1926. The second phase preserved a French-style red-brick building and century-old trees from the EMI site.
The park serves as a gathering place where residents practice tai chi in the mornings and spend leisure time by the water. It draws people seeking to enjoy nature while remaining connected to the city around them.
The park is located adjacent to Xujiahui Metro Station, which connects to three lines and provides easy access. Visitors should know that pathways and facilities remain open year-round and can be used for various activities.
The park's artificial lake is shaped like the Huangpu River, and four small bridges stand in for the four Yangtze crossings. The elevated walkway runs close to 200 metres and passes the preserved 1926 chimney of the former Great China Rubber Factory.
