Shanghai Nanyuan Park

　　Nanyuan Park is located at No. 800 Longhua East Road, covering an area of 15,838 square meters. The site was originally the former location of the Quanzhang Guild Hall, a gathering place for fellow townsmen from southern Fujian, commonly referred to as Nanyuan. In the late 1920s, Quanzhang Middle School was established here, which once served as an underground activity site for the Chinese Communist Party. In April 1957, the Shanghai Municipal Gardens Management Office converted the site into a public park, which opened to the public on October 15 of the same year, retaining the commonly used name “Nanyuan” as the park’s title. In September 1960, the park ceased public access. Reconstruction began in October 1963, and on June 1, 1964, Nanyuan reopened for the second time, introducing a ticketed entry system.

　　The main attractions of Nanyuan Park include: a circular flower stand and a small mushroom-shaped pavilion. There is also a 53-square-meter corridor, in front of which lies a small pond, with wisteria planted nearby. To the south is a waterside pavilion covering 28 square meters. The park also features a goldfish pond with water lilies. The park is home to approximately 2,400 trees, including major arbors such as palms, magnolia, podocarpus, dragon cypress, black pine, metasequoia, and Albizia, along with a variety of shrubs such as Elaeocarpus, oleander, and hibiscus.
