Come to Guilin Park to enjoy spring for free!!!

🎫Ticket: 0 yuan 🚉Transportation Guide: Metro: Line 12 Guilin Park Bus: Routes 732, 830, 946, 122, and others all reach here At No. 128 Guilin Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, there is a park in the style of traditional Chinese classical gardens, originally called "Huang Family Garden." It was built in 1931 and was the private garden villa of Huang Jinrong, the chief inspector of the French Concession police and a gang leader in old Shanghai. Although not large, every brick and tile reveals exquisite detail. After Shanghai fell, it once became a barracks for the Japanese invaders, and some buildings were destroyed when the Japanese withdrew. It has been repaired multiple times, and in 1958, Guilin Park was opened to the public. 🌟Highlights: 1. Here you will find pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, rockeries, making you feel like you are in a Suzhou garden. Century-old trees remain lush, allowing you to stroll through the park and enjoy peace and beauty. 2. Many precious trees are planted here, including century-old five-needle pines and two century-old boxwoods, which are famous far and wide. 3. There are also several teahouses with an ancient style and beautiful scenery. If you get tired from walking, you can go in for some tea and rest; the tea fee is about 5 yuan per person. 4. The "Haha Pavilion" in the park and the "Double Happiness" character on the nine-bend corridor are unique design elements that leave a deep impression. 5. This place is also a paradise for photography enthusiasts; many fans of traditional costumes and cosplay like to come here for photo shoots.
