[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Yangpu Park (Updated Apr)

Zhou Ji was looking for a place to go shopping in Shanghai, China, and he didn't expect to see Yangpu Park here in Yangpu. I had heard from friends before that this place is very good and no tickets are required. This time he went to explore it in person and it is indeed very good. 🚉Transportation strategy: The park is located in the city center and is close to Huangxing Road on Metro Line 8. There are many residential areas nearby, so many nearby residents come here to hang out. 🌟Highlights: Yangpu Park has several gates and is quite large in scale. The scenery here is very beautiful, and the whole area is distributed around Yu Lake. There are many rest pavilions around Yu Lake, and several stone bridges cross the lake. Like West Lake, there are three stone pavilions with the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. Very interesting. 👍Most Recommended: The air here is very good, and because the place is large, it is not crowded. You can take a stroll around the lake, or enjoy the flowers and scenery in the various gardens in the park. There are also rose gardens and peony gardens in the park, which are quite worth seeing. 📝Note tips: There is also a children's playground in the park, but the playground is undergoing overall adjustments recently, so all the recreational facilities have been suspended. If you bring children here, you should be aware of this. In addition, there are no places to eat or shops in the park. If you want to eat, you can bring some bread and snacks with you.

💜Yangpu Park is really lively, with many elderly people taking a walk. Under the shade of the tall trees, they chat, bask in the sun, dance, play the saxophone, play cards, and play chess. There are also people walking their kids, the laughter of children is endless, there is a sand pit, remember to bring your own sand digging tools, there is a playground for children to play, the facilities are colorful, children like it very much. 💜Address: No. 399 Shuangyang Road 💜Tickets: Free🆓 💜Transportation: Huangxing Road Station on Line 8. If you drive, there is a small parking lot for 6 yuan per hour. We parked at the parking lot at the entrance for lunch. It seemed to be 16r for two hours. 💜Bathroom: Average environment, no maternity room 💜Dining: You can go to Wujiaochang 💜Playground🎡 Most of the facilities are quite old. It is an older park. You can go fishing, boating, and ride the facilities for 15 to 20 yuan per time. There are mini airplanes, mini trains, mini carousels, mini bumper cars, mini ocean balls, mini roller coasters, and mini pirate ships with bright colors. Babies love them very much. It is a good place for small babies to take a walk. 🌈 💜There is a beautiful lawn in the park, but it is fenced off, so you probably can't set up a tent. Occasionally, a bird would land on the lawn, creating a very beautiful scene. People taking photos with cameras could be seen everywhere. There are many tall 🌲 in it, so it’s not hot to take a walk in the summer. It is a typical city park from the 1980s and 1990s, and it has a very unique feel.

The park has a sense of history, with two exits. I entered from Longchang Road and exited from Shuangyang Road. There seems to be a small commodity market nearby, but it was closed when I arrived late. Built in the 1950s, the park is quite large, with bridges, corridors, and pavilions, giving it a garden-like atmosphere. Of the five major tourist areas, I specifically marked the amusement area. There is a landmark elephant slide in it. I brought a camera with me, but it was so cold that my hands and feet were freezing. Then a girl, who seemed to have an instant camera, asked me to take a picture for her. This landmark elephant slide is really unforgettable. The impression of vegetation may not be so profound in winter. I can go and see it in spring and summer. I like the lush and vibrant scenery. There are many types of trees in it, and according to the introduction, there are more than 180 kinds. I also saw sheep feeding jade carvings, artificial mountain waterfalls, large lawns, etc. It is a free park for local residents to relax and empty their minds!
