A landscaped urban park in central Shanghai that reopened in the late 2000s as an open-air gallery of contemporary sculpture. Winding paths thread between lawns, ponds and mature plane trees, punctuated by rotating and permanent artworks by Chinese and international artists. The nautilus-shaped Natural History Museum rises at its northern edge. Set amid dense high-rise blocks, the green space offers office workers and families a quiet retreat, and hosts a spring magnolia festival when the flowering trees bloom.
