Prepare to be amazed by the incredible views that greet you at Shanghai Expo Culture Park: Twin Hills, Eleven-Arch Bridge, vast lawns, and the enchanting Shen Garden.
Nestled along the banks of the Huangpu River, this park is a true gem. As Children’s Day approaches, why not bring your little ones here to bask in the sunshine, run freely, lie on the expansive grass, gaze up at the blue sky and white clouds, and wander through Shanghai’s very own “Altai”?
Admiring the Hills and Waters from the Great Lawn
Shanghai Expo Culture Park is situated in the core area of the Pudong Riverfront.
The park is divided into the southern and northern areas, with the southern area, where the Twin Hills are located, currently closed to the public. However, the northern area has already captivated numerous visitors with its outstanding beauty.
Picnicking and admiring the hills by the lakeside lawn is an incredibly delightful experience.
The lakeside lawn at the Expo Culture Park is a lush green expanse, spacious and open, offering stunning views of both the Twin Hills and the picturesque lake with its Eleven-Arch Bridge.
The Eleven-Arch Bridge, spanning approximately 75 meters in length, is based on traditional Chinese garden stone arch bridges, incorporating modern construction techniques. It echoes the undulating peaks of the Twin Hills, creating a captivating focal point in the landscape.
Strolling Through the Tranquil Gardens Along the Huangpu River
As you meander through the northern area of the Expo Culture Park, the classical Shen Garden, imbued with the unique characteristics of Jiangnan garden culture, is sure to catch your eye.
Shen Garden seamlessly blends Chinese traditional culture with the art of landscaping.
The eight scenic spots within the garden, each with its own distinct charm, are named Drunken Red Reflecting Rosy Clouds, Ancient Cypress Late Crossing, Jade Hall Spring Full, Pine Stone Spring Flowing, Melodic Fragrance of Heaven, Autumn River Sunset, Misty Rain Penglai, and Lotus Breeze Fish Joy. These spots embody the enchanting ambiance of Jiangnan gardens, making it an ideal location to savor the essence of Chinese traditional culture.
Memories Filled with the World Expo Atmosphere
The 2010 Shanghai World Expo has become an unforgettable memory etched in the city’s history.
The Shanghai Expo Culture Park still preserves four pavilions from the Shanghai World Expo: the former France Pavilion, the former Italy Pavilion, the former Luxembourg Pavilion, and the former Russia Pavilion. The sight of these structures seems to transport visitors back to the grand event that took place fourteen years ago.
Along the Time Memory Avenue, stretching over 400 meters, you can spot numerous “lively” Shanghai World Expo mascots, the “Haibao,” evoking a flood of nostalgic memories.
