Songhu Anti Japanese War Memorial Park, Urban memorial park in Baoshan District, China.
Shanghai Songhu Anti-Japanese War Memorial Park covers about 10 hectares in Baoshan District, next to the Yangtze River. Its centre is a 10,000-square-metre artificial lake; the Shanghai Songhu Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall stands on the east side, the Chen Huacheng Memorial Square on the north, and the Ming-dynasty Baoshan Bridge on the southwest. A remnant of the 1537 Baoshan city wall and a Qing stone water gate bridge survive in the park.
The park commemorates two major battles for control of Shanghai that occurred in 1932 and 1937, when Chinese forces fought against Japanese military forces. These conflicts were pivotal moments in the city's history and showed the scale of resistance in the region.
The park serves as a place where visitors can connect with the memory of local resistance during wartime. The displays show how soldiers and civilians fought together to defend their home and what role this struggle held in the city's identity.
