Jing'an's hidden garden offers respite from city bustle
In the heart of Shanghai's bustling Jing'an district lies a tranquil escape. Since its renovation in 2023, Fudeli Park has become a cherished urban sanctuary.

Stepping through its gates transports visitors from the busy city streets into a vibrant, serene world. Autumn sets the landscape ablaze: ginkgo leaves cast a golden glow, maple trees ignite in fiery red, and bald cypresses wear gradients of caramel, intertwined with evergreen hues. Trees create a natural frame for this living impressionist scene, where dappled light dances and strollers wander at an unhurried pace.

The city's noise fades, replaced by wind, birdsong, and the murmur of water. The park's miniature mountain waterfall remains a favorite spot, where mist enhances the rich colors and flowing water brings a soulful rhythm to the scene.

This "small yet exquisite" space masterfully compresses mountain scenery — complete with elevated vistas, waterfalls, and foliage — into the urban fabric. It invites people to slow down and offers weary eyes a gentle respite among the dance of light and leaves.
