 Once
a race course before liberation, now it is popularly known as The People’s
Square. It is located in downtown Shanghai. Here, you will get to see
the Municipal City Hall, Shanghai Museum and the Shanghai Grand Theater.
Not forgetting, there’s also the No.1 subway People’s Square stop and
an array of underground excitement inclusive of an underground shopping
street, an underground transformer house that is the largest in Asia and
an underground parking ground, the largest in Shanghai. It could accommodate
up to 600 cars. On both sides of the 600-m long and 32-m wide People’s
Avenue, there are 5.5-m wide green belts and 6.5-m wide passages for non-motorized
vehicles.
Right at
the center of the square is a 320-sq. m. round fountain and a beautiful
landscaped lawn of 80,000 sq. m. Towards the western side of the square
are 1,000 pigeons! People’s Square is crowded during the weekends as many
people enjoy the peaceful and pleasant scene on the square.
