★★★★★Edited a year agoOne of my favorite parks in Shanghai, not necessarily in terms of beauty, but for the insight this park gives about ordinary Chinese people lives, especially the elderly. This park is always vibrant and full of life! I recommend visiting if you happen to be in Shanghai.

★★★★★2 years agoNice historic place in Shanghai. Free entrance to the park and you will see alot of active old folks here enjoying themselves, singing and dancing in the park. We did not manage to enter Lu Xun museum as it closes at 4pm.
