Park of the Century

Century Park is a quiet well-kept park in the center of Shanghai.

Park of the Century was opened in 2000, at the beginning of the new century, hence the name.

Century Park is one of the youngest, but at the same time the largest parks in Shanghai. It covers an area of about 140 hectares.

The park has many flowers and trees, artificial lakes and canals, along which you can swim in small boats, as well as a large number of gazebos and cafes. On the paths of the park you can ride a bicycle, which you can rent here. In the Park of the Century, you can sit on lawns, which is not allowed in almost any Shanghai park.

Every spring there is a very beautiful festival of sculptures made of plants.
