[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Zuibaichi Park (Updated Apr)

🌈Opera "Carmen" Appreciation Meeting 📅2022.11.13 🕋 Cloud Theater 🏡 No. 85, Lane 60, Renmin South Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai The first time I visited the Yunjian Theater, there were no performances so I could only watch from the outside. This time, I was able to go in and take a closer look as I came to watch a performance. The theater is located next to Zuibaichi Station, with direct access to Metro Line 9 and an underground garage, making transportation convenient. The antique-style building is beautiful and elegant. The cloud-shaped lighting at the top of the lobby and the ribbon-shaped staircase are a beautiful landscape. The top of the concert hall is decorated to look like the Milky Way and nebula, which is even more beautiful. I couldn't understand the four-act opera at first, but with the help of the live subtitles and the host's explanation, I was able to understand the plot and the relationships between the characters. It was also a very good experience. #Music Performance

🌈The 48th Zuibaichi Chrysanthemum Exhibition 📅October 20-November 20, 2021 🎟12 yuan I haven't been to Zuibaichi for a long time. This time I came for the chrysanthemum 🌼 exhibition. The weather was nice, the sun was shining brightly on the day of our visit and the flowers were particularly beautiful. This flower show has six major theme attractions, including various outdoor areas and the halls of ancient buildings in the inner garden. The flowers are mainly small bonsai chrysanthemums, multi-headed chrysanthemums, and variety chrysanthemums. The 12 yuan ticket price is really worth it to see so many beautiful flowers.

Zui Bai Chi Park is located at 64 Renmin South Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai. It is one of the five classical gardens in Shanghai, and also the oldest. Its original site was Guyang Garden, which belonged to Zhu Zhichun, a Jinshi during the Song Dynasty in Songjiang. After expansion and reconstruction, it now covers an area of 5 hectares. The garden is centered on a pool of water, with curved corridors and pavilions on three sides of the pool. It has the style of Jiangnan gardens during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with rocks and clear pools reflecting each other, and corridors and winding paths complementing each other. The inner garden preserves ancient buildings such as the Zhujia Mountain House, Yifang Boat, and Reading Hall from the Ming Dynasty, and the Chishang Cottage and Baocheng Building from the Qing Dynasty, all of which are full of ancient charm. In addition, the garden also houses artistic treasures such as the stone carvings of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy "Former and Latter Ode to the Red Cliff" from the Yuan Dynasty, and the stele carvings of "Yun Jian Bang Yan Portraits" from the Qing Dynasty. Here, you can "visit peonies in spring, watch lotus in summer, admire chrysanthemums in autumn, and admire plum blossoms in winter" to experience the different beauty of the four seasons and appreciate the unique Jiangnan gardens.

It is worth mentioning that there is a century-old wintersweet tree in front of the Yifang, which is listed as a second-class ancient tree in Shanghai. The history of Zuibaichi Park can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. It was originally a private garden of Zhu Zhichun, a Jinshi from Songjiang, and was named "Guyang Garden." In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Gu Dashen, a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, took over the garden and named it "Zuibaichi" after Bai Juyi's "Pond Poem." Although there are not many wintersweet trees in the park, they are all planted in the right places, complementing the buildings and landscapes in the park, creating a sense of classical garden charm and beauty.

🌟 Highlights: Zui Bai Chi was originally a private garden. It was named "Zui Bai Chi" because Gu Dashen, a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works in the Qing Dynasty, admired Bai Juyi's literary talent and imitated Han Qi to build a hall on the pool. For more than three centuries, later generations knew little about Gu Dashen's life. It was not until 2016 that Liu Fengqiao, a contemporary collector and scholar, sorted out and published the only existing copy of the "Chronicle" compiled by Gu Dashen himself, that the historical and garden circles learned about his extraordinary life experience. ❤ Recommended reason: At the end of 2021, Zui Bai Chi held a "Gu Dashen Life Exhibition" based on the "400th Anniversary of Gu Dashen's Birth Poetry and Calligraphy Exhibition" held the previous year, which condensed the textual research and research of scholars over the years, as well as the existing literary and artistic creations of Gu Dashen, into a "Gu Dashen Life Exhibition", allowing citizens and tourists to have the opportunity to know him and get close to him. The seal replica of the "Gu Dashen Life Exhibition" in the Jian Shan Hall is located in the "Jian Shan Hall" in the inner garden of Zui Bai Chi, which was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It was named after the garden owner Gu Dashen's name, and the plaque was inscribed by Peng Yefeng, the current chairman of the Songjiang District Calligraphers Association. 📍 Address: No. 64 Renmin South Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai 🚉 Transportation: Take Shanghai Metro Line 9 to Zui Bai Chi Station 🕙 Opening hours: 6:00–17:00 📝 Tips: Ticket price: CNY 6 per person

On the forest path, thick fallen leaves pave a golden path. Walking on it is soft, as if walking on a golden carpet. Along the path, you can see clusters of colorful chrysanthemums by the pond. They bloom in the autumn sun, with bright colors, like colorful clouds falling by the pond. With the wind blowing, the flower branches sway, emitting a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

Songjiang Zuibai Pond: A Model of Classical Gardens Songjiang Zuibai Pond, as one of the highlights of garden tours in Shanghai, carries a name rich in cultural connotations. There are two widely circulated stories about its naming: one says that the garden owner imagined that if the great Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai were reborn, he would be enchanted by the scenery in the garden, hence the name 'Zuibai Pond'; another story traces back to the Song Dynasty poet Han Qi's obsession with Bai Juyi's poetry. Han Qi once built a 'Zuibai Hall' in his hometown, and later garden owner Gu Dashen, who also admired Bai Juyi, followed Han Qi's example and named his garden 'Zuibai Pond'. Zuibai Pond Park is cleverly divided into an inner garden and an outer garden. The outer garden is newly built with a modern touch, simple and fresh, featuring a pond and pavilions; the inner garden retains the ancient charm of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a rectangular lotus pond at its center, which is the essence of Zuibai Pond. On the north side of the pond stands a more than 300-year-old camphor tree, solitary yet forming a forest. The peony garden to the east of the pond is fragrant, while the backyard of the snow begonia to the west is filled with the scent of golden and silver osmanthus, offering different sceneries throughout the seasons. Zuibai Pond is renowned not because of its owner's name but due to the unique charm of its scenery. Compared to other famous gardens, Zuibai Pond appears more delicate, with a cleverly designed spatial layout. The nested courtyards and walls make every plant and tree exceptionally exquisite, like a classical beauty strolling in the misty rain.

During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Gu Dashen, a local official of the Ministry of Works, named the garden after Bai Juyi, inspired by the artistic conception of Bai Juyi's poem 'On the Pond'. 📍Specific Address: No. 64, Renmin South Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai ⏰Opening Hours: All year round 07:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:30) 🕰Tour Duration: 2-3 hours 🚗Transportation Routes: Metro Line 9, Exit 3 of Zuibai Pond Station; Songjiang Bus Routes 9, 12, 19, Zuibai Pond Station. 🚎Parking Spaces: Paid parking lots near Zuibai Pond 🎟️Ticket Information: Tickets are 12 yuan per person, with discounts available for eligible individuals according to relevant policies.

Everyone has seen many Chinese style gardens. But if I say: an ancient garden park that is small but sophisticated, has art exhibitions, holds regular activities, and the entrance fee is only 12 yuan, wouldn’t it more arouse your interest in visiting it during the holidays? This park is Zuibaichi Park, a Chinese-style garden named after the park. For the specific scenery, you can see the pictures I took on the spot. Let’s talk about the overall situation and tour experience first. This park is a small and medium-sized garden with rich content and one scene at a time. It is suitable for people of all ages to visit, whether you want to take photos📷, walk your children, watch art exhibitions, appreciate Chinese aesthetics, or just want to relax, it’s no problem Next is strategy time: 🚪Opening ticket sales time: 7:00-16:30 🎫Ticket: 12 yuan per person 💰Ticket-free policy: Military personnel and their families, seniors over 65 years old; active, retired, disabled fire rescue personnel (including government full-time firefighters) and students from fire rescue schools have free priority admission with valid certificates. Children under 6 years old (inclusive) and children under 1.3 meters (inclusive) in height enjoy free admission and must be accompanied by an adult. Traffic situation: If you drive by car, you can park at the Yunjian Hall next to it. It is very convenient to walk there. The parking fee is free for the first hour and five yuan per hour thereafter. For public transportation, take Line 9🚇. Get off at the Zuibaichi stop. About playing: 1️⃣Because it is a Chinese-style garden, there are quite a few steps up and down. If you are walking your baby, bringing a stroller may become a burden. 2️⃣If you want to take photos📷, you can match the architectural style and make good use of small scenes such as windows🪟, ponds, small bridges and flowing water. At the same time, if you have the conditions, it would also be great to bring a Hanfu. 3️⃣When there are not many people, it is enough to go around for half a day. The remaining time can be spent at the Yunjian Hall next door. 4️⃣As a cliché, there is nothing selling anything in the park, so you can bring some supplies appropriately. 5️⃣There are many small corners in the entire garden. The scenery is actually quite beautiful, but because it is relatively remote and there are few people, the visiting experience will be improved. Pictures 2 to 6 were taken at the corner for your reference.

Zuibaichi, I visited once five years ago, and this time I passed by on business and hurriedly toured a small part of it. Zuibaichi is a paid park, with an admission fee of 12 yuan for adults, half price for those aged 60 to 65, and free for those over 65 (in the month of their birthday). The park's opening hours are from 6:00 to 17:00, and the ticket sales time is from 7:00 to 16:30. Transportation is very convenient; it's right outside exit 3 of subway line 9. Zuibaichi is one of the five major classical gardens in Shanghai, with many designs featuring the style of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. There are also many folk tales and stories in the park. If you have time, take a slow walk and look around; it's definitely great!

🧚‍♀️The recent hot citywalk spots in Shanghai are undoubtedly 'Fan Hua' and Sauce Garden Lane, both of which are the epitome of old Shanghai style, but it's really crowded on weekends! . 🚗I wanted to drive to Che Dun, the main filming location for 'Fan Hua', which includes Huanghe Road and Jinxian Road, but unfortunately, it is not open to the public yet. . 📷I unexpectedly found a hidden gem nearby, a place with the old Shanghai Republic of China vibe. It used to be a photography base and has been the shooting location for 'The Disguiser' and 'Ip Man 3', among others. . 🚞The biggest highlight here is the abandoned green-skinned steam train and the old train station. Although the site is not large and somewhat dilapidated, it has the charm of the Republic of China era and is quite photogenic. . 📷Recommended photo spots: 💚The long-missed green train carriages, the old street lamps and waiting seats on the platform can take you back to that era in a second; 💛The Shanghai Station, Ganzhou Station, and Liangchuan Station signs on the platform are great for taking photos together; 🧡The old Shanghai western-style houses from the Republic of China period are great for walking, leaning, and shooting, it's a pity that the Paramount's interior is not open; 🤎The corridor and the lookout on the second floor have a charming atmosphere under the light and shadow, and you can also frame the North Shanghai Station in the same shot. . 👗Outfit: 💕For those who love to take photos with a Republic of China movie theme, you can dress in cheongsam or retro clothing, and bring some props like bags and newspapers for better photos! . 👉Nearby one-day trip strategy: 🧡Songjiang Warehouse City Old Street: A century-old warehouse bridge, a simple and authentic Jiangnan old street 🩵Zhongshan West Road: A street full of graffiti walls 🤎Wu Jue Book House: A century-old house transformed into a book house 💚Existence Coffee: A Qing dynasty ancient house with white walls and black tiles 💛Zui Bai Pool: The winter sweet has recently come into bloom
