This is Shanghai's biggest park. Unfortunately, there is a lot of concrete and paved roads, and many areas have vegetation that is still under development or poorly cared for. Still a good and relaxing get-away. Bike rental available (expensive, from ¥40 per hour).
Century Park is the largest Park in Shanghai, located at the end of Century Avenue on Jinxiu Road, in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, near the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum.
