people's square is a spectacular space in the heart of the city. it is a garden-type open field surrounded by buildings and facilities for administration, cultural activities, transportation and commerce. the people's park, people's mansion and Shanghai museum are sitting on the central axis. the central square lies between people's mansion and shanghai museum with two smaller squares on each side. the total area covers up to 1,806,600 square meters. the central square is arranged with a 320-square-meter water fountain, a shanghai map and the ground is laid with granite stone. there are 36 lights with stereo around the central square and 6 pieces of relief which reflect history and culture of shanghai.
two small pieces of grasslands are decorated with flower terraces and sculptures. the large square is circled with a green belt made up of camphor trees, pines and shrubbery. a stone path, lined with chairs, wanders through the green belt.
people's square is also the converging point where metro line one meets line two. from the square you can reach many shopping centers. leaving metro line one, tourists enter a street where famous shops from Hong Kong assemble and get to dimei shopping mall, a shopping center like a maze. going from metro line two, you can come to an old street lined with old-styled jewelry shops, restaurants and teahouses and so on, which reminds you of the old days. from the entrance to metro line one to the no 9 entrance of metro line two, lay an underground department store and a restaurant from which you can arrive at new world city, another shopping mall. just around the corner is the famous Nanjing road.

Local people’s relaxing place. Skyscrapers around the square is the contrast background for the slow and relaxing pace of the life at the square.

Dense forests, and many big magnolia trees. It is the center of Shanghai. Many places nearby you can visit, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theater, etc.

"Not much to see"

Peoples Square is in the center of downtown Shanghai. It used to be a dog racing track during British rule, and a large square after 1949. Today it has been transformed into one, or many, parks, with museums and theatres in between and it is not really a square at all anymore. The Peoples Park is worth a visit, but apart from that there is not very much to do here exept for passing through, which you are bound to do if you travel in Shanghai for a few days.
