Fuxing Park |
Travel in Shanghai | |||
Fuxing Park is the only French style park in Shanghai. It is well designed and many different trees provide shelter from the sun here for residents in the hottest months of the year. As a result, it is also called "carpet garden". There is also a slightly surreal sculpture of Marx and Engels in the park that was completed on the ninetieth anniversary of Engels' death on August 5, 1985. One of the best things about the park is the bar and restaurant here known as Park 97. Once you have had a wander, watched the Tai Chi (tài jí 太极) and seen Marx-Engels, why not pop in here for some great "tapas" (xiǎo chī 小吃) or a drink. The Restaurant is right next to one of Shanghai's best modern art galleries too. ShangArt often have brilliant and radical exhibitions by artists from throughout China. It is always worth popping in to this small and friendly gallery to see what is on display. Address: Fuxing Park, Gaolan Lu (gāo lán lù 皋兰路).
