Xujiahui Park

Xujiahui Park

The park is located to the east of Xujiahui Plaza, bordered by Hengshan Road to the north, Zhaojiabang Road to the south, Tianping Road to the west, and Wanping Road to the east, covering an area of approximately 72,700 square meters. Designed with ecological theory as its guide and greenery as its main theme, Xujiahui Park particularly emphasizes the integration with the surrounding vibrant Xujiahui commercial area and the colonial-style garden villas of Hengshan Road.

The green space is composed of dense large trees, various flowering shrubs, and ground cover plants, with landscaping configured according to the principle of matching the right trees to the right locations.

The park features some distinctive landscaped elements, including tall and lush bamboo groves, evergreen pine forests, tropical-themed date palms and coconut trees, as well as distinctly seasonal koelreuteria paniculata groves. Along the lake, there are fragrant peach and plum trees and swaying weeping willows. The variety of greenery is rich and the arrangement is well-balanced.

Chimney: Fiber optics light up the night sky. The chimney from the former Great China Rubber Factory was not demolished during the park’s construction but was instead heightened by 11 meters. Designers ingeniously crafted the added “top hat” section with an interior full of fiber optic lights and an exterior lattice design. When illuminated, the fiber optics shine through the perforated shell, resembling white smoke billowing from the chimney’s top, spreading beautifully across the night sky.

Park: A Miniature of Shanghai. The overall layout of the park resembles the map of Shanghai, with the lake designed in the shape of the Huangpu River. Notably, four “bridges”—“Xupu,” “Lupu,” “Nanpu,” and “Yangpu”—span the “Huangpu River,” and at the first bend of the lake, a landscape representing the Yu Garden is created, showcasing the park’s ingenious concept in cultural and scenic design.
