Gucheng Park is an urban green space located in the heart of the old city of Huangpu District, Shanghai. It is bordered by the Bund to the north and Yuyuan Garden and Chenghuang Temple to the south, serving as a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city. Covering nearly 40,000 square meters, the park embodies the philosophy of 'green first, people-oriented, and ecology-focused,' integrating the imagery of the old city’s moat and city walls with modern landscape design, showcasing the dialogue between Shanghai's past and present. The park features a sunken plaza, a red suspension bridge, Danfeng Tower, grassy streams, and densely planted shaded areas, making it a popular spot for visitors walking from the Bund to Yuyuan Garden to rest and take photos. Since its opening to the public for free, Gucheng Park has gradually become a new cultural landmark in Huangpu District.
