#cherryblossom25 #shanghai #discoverchina #springs No ticket required—Hongkou Football Stadium Station offers one of Shanghai’s most democratic cherry blossom experiences. Exit 6 doesn’t just lead to trains; it opens into a springtime fantasy where sakura blooms tumble over railings and drift onto the tracks below. I arrived mid-morning, when commuters in sharp suits and sneakers moved through the floral haze like characters in an urban fairytale. The station’s design amplifies the magic: glass barriers reflect the blossoms, creating infinite pink corridors, while the rumble of arriving trains sends fresh showers of petals onto the platform. A street vendor had set up nearby, selling sakura-flavored mochi to pedestrians who lingered, unwilling to let the workday interrupt the beauty. Even the station staff seemed charmed—one cleaner paused her sweeping to adjust a fallen blossom behind her ear. As I boarded my train, I caught one last glimpse through the window: a sea of pink receding as the doors closed. Some journeys, it turns out, begin and end with flowers.

#Overseas travel #China #Dalun Road Hongkou District in China has many streets made up of buildings that retain various types of old appearances.

There are also coffee shops here and there, so I think it's a great place to enjoy a cup of delicious tea while taking in the cool breeze.

It's refreshing and goes well with hotpot. 🏠 Huashixiang Copper Pot Beef 📍 Building B, Greenland Chuangke, 167 Dongjiangwan Road (No. 1 Tongxin Road)

#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent I visited Hongkou Park in China. I visited once on a weekday and once on the weekend. Since it is a space for Koreans, there weren't many tourists.

Huoshan Park is located at No. 118 Huoshan Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai, on the south side of the T-junction of Huoshan Road and Zhoushan Road, facing south to north, with residential houses on the east, west, and south sides, covering an area of 3,700 square meters. Huoshan Park was established in the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917), and the architectural features such as the corridor frames, scenic pavilions, and floor tile mosaics all bear a distinct British style, harmonizing with the 'Queen Anne style' buildings in the surrounding residential area. In the early years of the Republic of China, Western expatriates living in the area raised funds to lease the original site of the park to create a playground for expatriate children. In the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916), some expatriates wrote to the Public Works Department of the International Settlement requesting the purchase of the land to be converted into a park. In the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917), with the approval of the annual meeting of the tax-paying (foreign) residents of the Settlement, the Public Works Department bought the land, which was 5.47 acres (3,647 square meters), for 18,800 taels of silver. In August of the same year, the park was opened to foreign children and was named Stadley Park. In 1958, including Huoshan Park, 3,700 graves from four Jewish cemeteries were relocated to the Shanghai International Cemetery in the western suburbs, and Huoshan Park was restored as a park. During the years 1966—1976, kilns for brick firing and air-raid shelters were constructed in the park, and Huoshan Park was forced to close. In 1978, the park was renovated with the construction of sheds and fences, and Huoshan Park was reopened. In 1994, a monument explaining the Jewish refugee residential area was erected in Huoshan Park.
