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! 😄 #shinsider #shanghai #gooutside #park

I haven't been to Heping Park for a long time. This park has been on TV a lot recently, so I wanted to go. I took advantage of the warm sun today and went for a walk! I took bus 937 to Dalian Road and Siping Road, walked a short distance, and entered through Gate 6. On the left is the children's play area, and if you go straight, you'll reach the center, Dayin Bookstore! Bookstores nowadays are combined with restaurants, which makes it convenient to read and eat! My favorite place is the sky corridor. The forest is right in front of you, and it feels great! My favorite places to relax are Heping Academy and Heping Art Museum!

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... 📍Detailed address: Dalian Road-New Port Road-Tianbao Road 🕙Business hours: open all day ⏳Play time: 1-24hrs 🚉Traffic strategy: Metro Line 8, 10

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.

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.
