HePing Park
Address: 1131 Dalian Rd, Hongkou District, China, 200086.
Highlights: The HePing Park is a well-designed park with ponds, small meadows and an ancient town pavilion. I have been here on a sunny Sunday and it wasn't too crowded. 😁
There are various trails that are good for walks and jogging surrounding the pond. There are also a wide variety of trees and plants, and you can take a forest bath in the city with a good value. The area is quite large, and there are children's amusement parks and zoos. It will be great for a family day here! 😄

Transformation - Peace Park.
Peace Park, an old park in the east of Shanghai, is located at the junction of Hongkou and Yangpu, and is a beautiful memory for several generations. When I was a child, my parents often took me there to see lions and tigers. I also took my children to the Animal Island to feed goats, watch monkeys, and boat on the lake...
Now the park has been upgraded and transformed, the Animal Island is gone, the boating project has been cancelled, and there are more high-end buildings around. On a rainy day, I stepped into the park for the first time after the transformation. Although the surrounding roads were full of cars, the park was unusually quiet. The landscape construction everywhere is very beautiful, the facilities are implanted with ecological concepts, and at the same time, fitness tracks are laid, and the Peace Academy is newly built... If it weren't for the pavilion in the lake and the stone boat still in place, I almost didn't recognize where I was.
Encounter the egrets hunting by the lake and the exercisers in the same frame, adding agility to the still space. Turning around and seeing the children's playground, there is a sense of inexplicable joy in my heart. Imagine that when the weather is clear, the children's laughter will sound again...

Urban Park Guide | Peace Park
| Peace Park. After the renovation and reopening of Peace Park, this is my second visit. I only took a little stroll with the elderly, entering from Gate 3 and exiting from Gate 1. Last year, I almost walked through the entire park, but at that time, it seems that there were no Manner and Yichi yet. Manner is located at the Peace Square by Gate 1, which is a better location than Yichi.
After 22 months of renovation, the park officially opened on October 10, 2022. The renovated Peace Park is open 24 hours a day, and the 'New Eight Views' within the park encapsulate the essence of the Jiangnan water town scenery, presenting a poetic landscape before your eyes. The renovated park no longer retains Animal Island.

Parking nearby is a bit difficult, there are only a few parking spaces near Gate 6, definitely not enough

The first domestic journal-themed bookstore
Shanghai citizens have been eagerly looking forward to the "Dayin Bookstore•Heping Park Journal Tea Society" which officially opened its doors on July 9. With a collection of 1500 international journals, 1000 popular cultural and creative products, its distinctive journal themes, garden scenes, artistic temperament, and life atmosphere have attracted a wide range of readers and praise from the domestic and foreign journal industry since its trial operation.
The bookstore is located near Gate 5 of Heping Park, with reading as the main line, integrating "international journals + leisure tea tasting + life aesthetics + theme dining" into one functional positioning, striving to build the first domestic journal-themed bookstore with artistic temperament and life atmosphere.
From more than 20 countries around the world, it brings together literature, news, politics, art, design, sports, music, fashion, life, technology, culture, history, city memory, Shanghai culture, global tourism and other 30 categories of more than 1500 journals, becoming the physical bookstore with the most journal collections in China.
What is particularly valuable is that the store adopts a new model of "every copy can be read, borrowed, and subscribed", providing readers with a full range of reading, purchasing, and borrowing services. At the same time, it selects nearly a thousand kinds of vinyl records, life aesthetics, innovative digital, outdoor camping and other cultural and creative products from all over the world.
The bookstore is also ingenious, deeply integrating with the local culture, cleverly combining cultural landscape and consumption scene, and launching a themed tea drink with "Heping Eight Sceneries". Feel the fun of reading and the taste of life in the book fragrance, flower clusters, and water shadows.

The first journal-themed bookstore in the country has opened in a Shanghai park! Absolutely beautiful!
🧚♀️A journal-themed bookstore, the first of its kind in the country, has opened in a Shanghai park! They sell journals, not books! Inside the bookstore, there are even beautiful spiral staircases and glass curtain walls!
⛲️The bookstore is located in the Hongkou Peace Park, which reopened in October last year. From Gate 5 of the park, follow the path, cross a stone arch bridge, and through the dense gaps, you can see a 'book' unfolding on the water!
🏠The lightness of the two-story building's glass curtain wall reflects the sparkling lake water. Even before entering, you are attracted by the design style of this bookstore!
📚This is another new store of the Hidden Bookstore. Inside, the curved bookshelves and the vertical design of the spiral staircase, the constantly changing colors of light and shadow, looking up as if walking in the starry sky of the ocean of knowledge.
🧡The journals in the bookstore, including rare drama, movie, fashion magazines, etc., will have famous Shanghai journals such as 'Harvest', 'Shanghai Literature', 'Story Club', 'Fiction World', etc., a total of 30 categories, nearly 1500 kinds of journals, very spectacular, this is also the physical bookstore with the most journal collections in the country.
🍵The outdoor seating design, there are three transparent 'tea can' seats by the water, and camping-style positions, and also designed a special tea drink with the theme of 'Eight Scenic Spots of Peace', I chose a style of breeze shaking green, jasmine oil mandarin American style, the shape and taste are not bad.
📽️On the occasion of the bookstore's new opening, there are special exhibitions, 'Xinmin Weekly' cover story exhibition; Sheng Heyear 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' comic exhibition; 'Dreaming Dreams' digital art exhibition; Picasso linocut exhibition.
💯The location and design and positioning of this bookstore are really good, parks are usually a very lively place, but the location of the bookstore is quiet in the midst of noise because it is near the lake.
💚Here by the water, reading in your spare time, you can see the 'Monet Garden'-like dense green when you look up, it's really too comfortable and beautiful!

A good place to drink coffee in the northeast area: Yichi Coffee in Peace Park
Located in the northeast area of Shanghai, I haven't been to Peace Park since it was renovated. I heard from friends living near the park that it's more beautiful and suitable for leisurely strolls after the renovation. I remember often going to Peace Park to see animals when I was a child, so I'm an old customer of it, so I always want to have the opportunity to see its current appearance. Today I happened to pass by so I turned in, and I didn't expect to see "Yichi Coffee" under renovation as soon as I entered the gate. Friends who like to drink coffee know that Yichi Coffee specifically chooses places with culture and scenery to open stores. Now it has opened in the renovated Peace Park, which is enough to show that Peace Park is now a good place to talk about culture and see the scenery. I will definitely come for a cup when it opens.

This park in Shanghai hides six ammunition depots built by the Japanese
Here, I would like to recommend a rather special park in Shanghai. Why do I say that? Mainly because, compared to other city parks in Shanghai, in addition to its beautiful natural environment and historical and cultural landscapes, the park surprisingly hides six ammunition depots built by the Japanese, which are not known to many visitors! Curious friends might ask, where exactly is this park in Shanghai? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk about the stories of the Shanghai Peace Park today. In 1938, this place was circled by the invading Japanese army for military use, and six reinforced concrete air-raid shelters were built as ammunition depots, and earthworks were dug around it. After liberation, it was turned into a public green space, with trees and flowers planted, and hills of varying heights were built on the original Japanese ammunition depot warehouse. In 1958, the Basket Park was built. On October 1, 1959, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to warn future generations not to forget history and to love peace, the park was renamed Peace Park. Although, for many visitors, not many know about this historical and cultural attraction.
