[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Xujiahui Business Circle (Updated Apr)

In Xujiahui Park, I unexpectedly discovered a scene that seemed straight out of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was a day just after the rain had cleared, and as I jogged along the path, suddenly before my eyes appeared a music pavilion adorned with flowers and plants. It was breathtakingly beautiful, as if in an instant, I was transported into a fairy tale world. I felt as if I saw Alice wandering through the fantastical wonderland, and I seemed to share her joy and wonder. I look forward to the next sunny day, when I will bring my camera to capture this beautiful fairyland, making it the realization of my fairy tale dreams.

You see, what you want to see 👻 This is the first perception of any supernatural thing in our life. The world of spookiness🧟 and heart racing came into existence for me, when I was in the kindergarten. From then on, there are always moments in life 🧬 I see what's around me (but can't be seen by others haha 🌚). This quite nice restaurant in the middle of Shanghai city, is situated close to Dapuqiao railway station 🚉. They were completely Halloween 🎃 themed, as that even the dishes presented were made looking spooky 👹. They also had a nice combo package, that comes with sufficiently stuffed 🥙 Italian dishes to try. It was a perfect start to for the Halloween week to follow !! #halloween2021 #shanghailife #seafoodfeast#romanticrestaurant#deserts#themepark

Dating back to nearly 200 years before, coffee is truly a vintage drink that kings and queens have enjoyed. It has become a reach within common man's 🤓grasp during the last 50 years. Since then it has become a huge business, profiting out of every coffee addict like me 😅 And Shanghai is one of that big city with coffee shops swirling around every nook and corner. As we recently moved to the downtown, our leisure walking led to this cute coffee ☕ shop in Wulumuqi road (乌鲁木齐路). Quite a good seatings with outside view and enough sunshine 🌞 will make your day great, with a Cappuccino !! #coffeeshop #urbanexplorer #summerdays#urbanexplorer#tripfoodie

In our food expedition, and a frequent outing to go for a romantic date, Solo has become a regular. As the name goes, never go solo here haha. It's a place to take your date, and feast on some perfectly made italian dishes. The food is amazing and always make you feel light. Situated very close to the Hengshan road station in Shanghai, is always quite a busy place. So if you are planning to go there, plan atleast a week before and make a reservation. Otherwise it's really tough get the table. So P.S. plan it perfect for the date night guys. #tripfoodie #italianfood #datenight #shanghaidelicacies #tripfoodie#lightthecity#urbanexplorer

It rained today, the kind of drizzle that occurs in early spring in the south of the Yangtze River. There was a hint of chill in the rain. Passersby unconsciously quickened their pace. I passed by Xuhui Park and the little red house as usual. The rain blocked the usually bustling crowds. The park is so quiet that you can hear the sound of raindrops. The brick-red wall was stained by rain into a watercolor painting. The chill of early spring, Unconsciously, I was melted by the flowers in the rain. I stopped. The white magnolia trembled in the wind, holding up the bone china cup, the tips of the petals dripping with cool pearls, as if to fill up the chill of the entire early spring; The pink peach blossoms in the rain are like newly bloomed rouge tears, condensed on the thin petals like silk gauze; Purple-leaf plum, with its white and pale pink petals, draped over the dark branches like a wedding dress; Deep in the rain curtain, the tulip spike buds are wrapped tightly in silk swaddling clothes, waiting for a sunny morning. Jiangnan in the rain is so beautiful. The flowers in the rain are so beautiful. 📍Detailed address: Xujiahui Park, Xuhui District. 🕙Opening hours: 24 hours free of charge. 🚉Transportation guide: 5 minutes walk from Xujiahui Metro Station.

Built in 1921, this brick-and-wood, Western-style building features dormer windows. Renowned for its unique historical and cultural significance, the building stands as a prominent landmark in China's modern music history. Pathé Records, a renowned record company established in China in the early 20th century, recorded and released numerous historically significant musical works.

Pathé also released opera records featuring renowned artists like Mei Lanfang and Zhou Xinfang, as well as local operas such as Huju and Yueju.

China has a history of cultivating magnolias for over 2500 years. In the late 18th century, magnolias were introduced from China to European countries such as the UK and France, where they became quite popular. Between 1820 and 1840, horticulturist Bodin hybridized white magnolias with purple magnolias to create 17 different colored cultivars, which were the first artificially hybridized magnolia species. These were later reintroduced to China. Botanists have since developed many new varieties, which are widely cultivated in various regions. In addition to white magnolias, Shanghai also grows other magnolia species such as Yulan magnolia, Erqiao magnolia, Hongyun magnolia, Feihuang magnolia, purple magnolia, and star magnolia. The white magnolia flowers are pure white like jade, with each bloom facing upwards. From a distance, they look like butterflies poised to take flight, resting on branches, and the gentle breeze brings a faint floral fragrance. ✅Jing'an District: Zhilan Park, Friendship Hall Green Space, Zhabei Park ✅Hongkou District: Baima Cafe, Dong'an Green Space, Binjiang Green Space ✅Yangpu District: Along Dalian Road, Southeast corner of Shunping Road and Longchang Road, Northwest side of Dahu Mountain Road and Feihong Road ✅Huangpu District: People's Square, Fulu Green Space, Magnolia Garden ✅Xuhui District: Xujiahui Park, Guilin Park, Hengshan Park, Tianlin Park, Kangjian Garden ✅Pudong New Area: Magnolia Garden, Taolin Road, Gaoqing Road Green Space

There are many trees, flowers, a lot of things for the children to see and explore, and a playground and several little waterfalls, too.

Xujiahui Park, you really know how to enjoy yourself! Xujiahui Park is located in the Xujiahui shopping district and is also a green space in the city. Sometimes after a good meal, I would go for a stroll there. The tulips 🌷 bloom exceptionally beautifully in the warm spring! 💐 The Xujiahui Park in spring is colorful, with flowers and plants being extraordinarily beautiful. The tulips bloom in seven colors like a dazzling rainbow, making one feel the bright spirit of spring. Walking and pausing, one's mood will also improve! 👫 Xujiahui Park has a skywalk pathway, which is also a nice perspective. Looking at the swans foraging in Huijin Lake and the little fish swimming around, the clear water reflection is beautiful, and the ecological environment is very good!

Last year, Xujiahui Park indeed provided many surprises, with its scenery and flowers brightening everyone's eyes. So this year, with high hopes, I visited again, only to be somewhat disappointed. The overall layout lacked the creative continuity of the past, and it even felt like a step back. There were also very few flowers, perhaps due to the season, with only a few cherry trees in full bloom and a small patch of tulips adding any color. Therefore, this year's Xujiahui Park was a bit of a letdown.

🫡 Hengshan Heji will officially close at the end of August this year, leaving not much time for the bookstore, which is currently selling books at a 70% discount. Last August, the news of Heji's impending closure attracted the attention of many people. In the end, the government of Xuhui District in Shanghai actively intervened and successfully preserved the bookstore. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, the bookstore is facing closure again in August. Every era has its own cultural symbols, and without the support of capital, it is difficult for bookstores to survive on sentiment alone. If you also love Heji, remember to visit.

You can always trust the Hengfu area of Shanghai, where even the median parks are accompanied by French-style old houses! With the unveiling of a green space at the intersection of Hengshan Road and Wuxing Road, which is an excellent historical building, the Hengfu plane tree area has gained another open pocket park for daily leisure, flower appreciation, and photography. It has a very pleasant name, called 'Libo·Shuiyang'. 🏠 95-year-old Libo Garden ▫️ There are many works by the Lai'an Foreign Firm around Hengshan Road and Yongjia Road, and Libo Garden is one of them. Completed in 1928, this modern detached garden residence, as an early classic work of Lai'an, has a distinctive classical style; after the 1930s, Lai'an mainly focused on designing modernist buildings. ▫️ The distant small building with its double-sloped red tile roof and white cement scraped wall surface exudes a strong French flair. Closer by, there are retro European fountains, exquisite green lawns, and winding paths that give an immediate impression of an oil painting. It matches well with Hengshan Road, known as the 'Champs-Élysées of the East'. ⛲️ From Private Garden to Median Park ▫️ Libo Garden was originally the private residence of the chairman of the Banque de l'Indochine, Lenton, and later the Shanghai Institute of Sports. Neither the building nor the large lawn to the south of the main house has been open to the public for a long time. ▫️ After a series of renovations, the past boundaries have been removed, and everyone can finally enter the former private garden and closely admire this charming historical building. 💐 In the Prime of Hydrangea Blooming ▫️ The park is not large, but you can walk around the lawn along the trail and encounter some exquisite garden features unexpectedly. ▫️ Currently, in many parks and green spaces in Shanghai, hydrangeas are blooming vigorously, and a small patch has also been planted at the entrance of Libo Garden.

It's too romantic. 💖💙💜 How to take pictures? 👉🏻Shoot from below ▫️Because the flowers are a bit droopy due to the sun and lack of water, the angle of shooting from below makes the flowers look better ▫️The second layer of blue is slightly not in good condition, so you need to seize the blooming period and go quickly 👉🏻Shoot from above ▫️Stand on the overpass and shoot downwards, the perspective of the hydrangea can better reflect the layering of the cake ▫️Use 3x zoom on your phone to take some close-up shots of the flowers to make them look fuller ▫️In addition to the hydrangea cake in the center, there are many scattered hydrangeas on the side ▫️Between the Hundred Generations Building and the basketball court, there is a well-bloomed hydrangea, see the map for details ▫️It's better to shoot on a cloudy day or at noon, otherwise there will be half shadow ▫️Not only hydrangeas, there are black swans, koi, and fountains in the Huijin Lake in Xujiahui Park ▫️The fountain times are 7, 8, 16, 17, each time for half an hour ▫️The park also has various flowers, full of fresh green, walking in the park is eye-catching and healing 📍Xujiahui Park 🎫Free, open 24 hours 🚇Line 1/9/11, Xujiahui Station, Exit 14
