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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
