Looking for the colors of spring? Come to Xujiahui Park

Xujiahui Park is open and, by protecting and utilizing historic buildings, it absorbs the essence of international gardens while inheriting the style of classical Chinese gardens, creating beautiful scenery. When spring arrives, the plum blossoms bloom on the branches; the magnolias are charming and colorful in spring—it's so beautiful‼️ There are not many tourists, so come quickly to enjoy the flowers‼️ 🌸 Flower viewing spots: Baidai Xiaolou, Scenic Sky Bridge, near Huijin Lake 🌈 Highlights: ✅ Here you can find historical stories (Baidai Xiaolou, Memorial Chimney, Old Town), modern elements (New Generation Statue, Fountain of Hope sculpture), a perfect blend of history and modernity, making the park even more charming. ✅ The park is shaded with green trees, spacious and open, with various flowers and trees, a natural oxygen bar; it also features Huijin Lake, an artificial waterfall, and other landscapes, making it a great place for fitness, leisure, flower viewing, and taking kids out. ☸️ Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Baidai Xiaolou: Built in 1921, it was the China headquarters of Baidai Company, the cradle of China's record industry, and the birthplace and recording site of the national anthem "March of the Volunteers." Stars like Zhou Xuan and Zhao Dan have left their voices here. 2️⃣ New Generation Statue: Created by American sculptor Manuel Carbonell. 3️⃣ Old Town: Uses a sunken design to define space, with patterned flower beds outlining the intersecting road network within the old town. 4️⃣ Memorial Chimney: Originally 28 meters tall, it was the smoke exhaust equipment of the Greater China Rubber Factory, built in 1926. After renovation, the chimney was raised by 11 meters, and a new installation covered with optical fibers was installed at the top, becoming a park landmark. 5️⃣ Fountain of Hope Sculpture: 9 meters high and 6 meters wide, located in a 240-square-meter fountain pool. There are 26 water jets below the sculpture that can form three different curved water curtains. 6️⃣ Scenic Sky Bridge: About 100 meters long, made of modern steel structure and glass, it is an aerial corridor running through the entire park, offering a unique viewing experience. 🎫 Admission: Free, enter directly 🚗 Transportation: Accessible by bus routes 72, 984, 820, 712, 43, 816, and Metro Lines 1 and 9
