Traveler reviews
Eagle YZ
★★★★★Edited 8 years agoThis place is gone, how sad! Don’t know if they moved to another location. This was easily one of the best places to visit in Shanghai, in addition to the hundreds of sculptures of high caliber, there are dozens of arts studios/galleries on site, all free. But no more ☹️😠😳😢

★★★★★8 years agoThey tore this place down :’( just an FYI for people looking to come check it out. The space looks like it was an amazing venue for a sculpture garden and park, but infrastructure is changing constantly. Will update this review if I find out where they moved the sculptures to. Heartbroken.
