People's Square

  • Address: Bordered by Weihai Lu on south, Xizang Lu on east, Huangpi Bei Lu on west, and Fuzhou Lu on north, Huangpu, Shanghai

Fodor's Review:

Once the southern half of the city's racetrack, Shanghai's main square has become a social and cultural center. The Shanghai Museum, Municipal Offices, Grand Theater, and Shanghai Urban Planning Center surround it. During the day, visitors and residents stroll, fly kites, and take their children to feed the pigeons. In the evening, kids roller-skate, ballroom dancers hold group lessons, and families relax together. Weekends here are especially busy.
