Shanghai Guilin Park

Guilin Park, located at No. 128 Guilin Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, was the private garden of Huang Jinrong, the former boss of the Shanghai Green Gang, nearly a hundred years ago. Originally named Huang's Garden, it was established in 1931 and covers an area of 35,500 square meters. The park is planted with more than a thousand osmanthus trees, including over 20 varieties, and also features centenarian trees. After several restorations, the garden has been renamed Guilin Park because of the osmanthus trees. Guilin Park is a typical example of Jiangnan garden characteristics. The art of garden construction adopts the classical traditional Jiangnan scenic setting techniques, with a clever and unique layout. The park features small bridges over flowing water, pavilions, towers, lush flowers and trees, and a pleasant landscape. The former private garden of the Green Gang boss is worth a visit!
