Shanghai Hongyuan Park
Bordered by Jiangchuan Road to the south, Hongyuan Road to the east, Ruili New Village to the west, and Binchuan Road to the north, the park covers an area of 40,800 square meters.
Hongyuan Park features an abundance of red-leaf tree species such as red-leaf plum, green maple, red maple, and trident maple. Nestled against hills and water, the landscape is scattered yet cohesive, with naturally winding water surfaces. The unnamed island in the southern part of the lake center is connected to the shore via a three-arched flat bridge. A maple pavilion stands halfway up the hill, while the “Lingbo Bridge” spans the waterway. The lake is navigable by boat, and the park is shaded by towering trees with lush foliage. It is divided into themed botanical areas including “Cherry Blossom Splendor,” “Magnolia in Bloom,” “Osmanthus Fragrance,” “Metasequoia Grove,” “Cedar Grove,” and “Palm Grove.” In spring, enjoy magnolia, crabapple, and cherry blossoms; in summer, crape myrtle and oleander; in autumn, red maples and osmanthus; and in winter, wintersweet and plum blossoms. The scenery is picturesque, the ecological environment is excellent, and the park is home to many birds, as well as the nationally second-class protected plant, the golden larch. There are also recreational areas such as a children’s playground and a senior activity center.
