Fuxing Park, Shanghai

Fuxing Park is a park in the French Concession of Shanghai, China. It was bought by the French to be used as a private park, and was known then as French Park. Elements of the French garden is still visible in the park, such as in the meandering paths lined with cherry trees.

The park was renamed Fuxing Park in 1949. The name "Fuxing" means "revival". Fuxing Park is near the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Residence, the house where Dr Sun Yat-sen and his wife Song Qingling lived between 1918 and 1924. The interior of the house has been kept exactly as it was during Dr Sun's time. Many of his personal belongings are still there, on display.

To the south of Fuxing Park is the former residence of Zhou Enlai. Zhou lived here in the 1940's when he was the Head of the Communist Party in Shanghai. The sparsely decorated house is an excellent example of a European-style Shanghai villa.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
