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).
上海科技馆
Focuses on Western Science. Entertaining and educational for children. The building is quite impressive.
