Century Park in Pudong , line 2, has a stop named after it, is one of the largest and has a huge lake. Always something going on there.

My favorite park is Fuxing park. It really shows a slice of Shanghai life.

But if you are looking to get away from the heat of the city and feel a little nature then the first recommendation for Century Park was right on.

Still, make a point to go to Fuxing park sometime in the fall or spring when its a little more pleasant outside.

I like Century Park also,

We hired a pushbike for the first hour to see what was around.

They have a small theme park for the kiddies, and also nice to hire a small boat if you want to relax on the river.

Gong Qing Forrest Park is also a nice place to go, though it is not right easily accessible by metro. Just take a taxi. It is also quite easily accessible from Pudong because it is not too far away from YangPu bridge in the Puxi side.

For me West Lake.

For the sheer size of it and its natural beauty.

Have you been playmaker?

West Lake,Zhejiang Province,where is full of beautiful natural sights.

Century Park is good the earlier years it was built in Shanghai,where a Chinese city has only a short history and full of human-made things,not as good nowadays.

Natural creations never fades, but human-made things will always fade its color.Just check the beautiful buildings in Shanghai and this whole city!
