Changfeng Park

Shanghai Changfeng Park is located on Daduhe Road. It was built in 1956 and opened to the public on National Day in 1959. Covering an area of ​​366,000 square meters, it is a large-scale comprehensive landscape park in Shanghai. The vast Silver Hoe Lake and the 30-meter-high Iron Arm Mountain constitute the unique landscape of the whole park. The garden includes more than 20 garden attractions such as Green Maple Oasis, Sunset Evening Light, Yingchun Pond, and Water Lily Pond. Water sports include electric boats, water cars, sightseeing boats, etc. Land-based recreational projects include bumper cars, pirate ships, luxury carousels, go-karts, etc. The site of the park was originally the bend of Xilao River in the ancient river course of Wusong River (Suzhou River). Changfeng Park was named Huxi Park when it was being built. It was renamed Biluo Lake Park when it was partially opened in 1958. On the eve of the opening of the park in 1959, Wei Wenbo, secretary of the Secretariat of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, changed the name of the park to Changfeng Park, taking the meaning of "Wish to ride the long wind and break thousands of miles of waves" in "Song Book·Zong Chou Biography"; he also took Mao Zedong's name from the park. In the poem "Farewell to the God of Plague", "Silver hoes fall from the five ridges of the sky, and iron arms shake the mountains and rivers." The artificial lake in the garden is named "Silver Hoe Lake" and the big earth mountain is named "Iron Arm Mountain". Changfeng Park inherits traditional Chinese garden art. The panoramic view of the park draws on the style of the Summer Palace in Beijing and the landscaping techniques of Suzhou gardens. The overall layout simulates nature. The landscape is dominated by lakes and combines mountains and rivers. Changfeng Park has a low-lying lake and high mountains. The mountain faces north and faces south, so you can overlook the lake. The water surface adopts a layout of mainly gathering and supplementary division, retaining the original Xilao River, which turns from the southeast to the north and then west of Tieji Mountain, surrounding the entire mountain. Tieju Mountain has undulating mountains and winding remnants. The Black Pine Mountain across the river extends eastward and has a coherent trend with the northwest remnants of Tieju Mountain, thus adding layers of garden space and avoiding the same mountain outline. On the mountain side of the lake, there are pavilions, pavilions and corridors for people to rest, iron-armed stone scenery, silver hoes and blue waves, green maple oasis, sunset, three friends of Suihan, Yingchun Pond, water lily pond, etc., which constitute more than 20 garden attractions.
