While Shanghai might be a bustling metropolis in China, there are areas in the city where one can take time to unwind and get in some much needed rest and relaxation. One such getaway would be Huangpu Park where visitors can enjoy scenic river views as well. Before heading on your adventures and visits to the park, make sure you find a centrally located hotel or service apartment in Shanghai such as Somerset Xu Hui Shanghai which is well suited for both business and leisure.

Once you have explored the city, look to unwind at Huangpu Park which can be found at the northern part of Shanghai’s famous Bund. While it is the city’s smallest and oldest park, this charming area is also where one will find the well known Monument to the People’s Heroes. As you stroll along the park you can also look to visit the Bund Historical Museum and learn more about this historic area. Inaugurated in 1886, it was the first public park to be open in the country and initially featured a European style garden. Partly bordering the Huangpu River, this picturesque area is also ideal for some people watching too and is where you can see everything from people practicing Tai Chi in the mornings to those engaged in card games.
