Century Park : info and guided tour

Introduction to Century Park

Century Park is Shanghai’s largest urban park. Located in Pudong at 409 Huamu Rd, it occupies a vast landscaped area designed as a great green lung in a rapidly expanding business district. Its layout combines lawns, water features, groves, and wide open vistas, offering a rare breath of fresh air in the heart of the city.

The park was developed to support Pudong’s growth and is now one of Shanghai’s major public spaces. Its layout brings together walking areas, planted gardens, and open spaces that shape the visitor experience. This design makes it a place enjoyed both for relaxation and for walks outdoors.

Century Park is known for its central lake, expanses of grass, and tree-lined paths. The site is also distinguished by its themed gardens and open views, which create a more peaceful atmosphere than in the rest of the metropolis. It is an emblematic park of Pudong, frequented for its green setting and scale.

As the seasons change, the park takes on different faces and attracts both local residents and visitors passing through. Its open spaces make it easier to appreciate the scale of Shanghai, while offering a sharp contrast with the nearby towers. Century Park is thus an interesting stop for discovering another side of the city, one that is calmer and more lush.
