Originally purchased by businessman Zhang Shuhe, it became the largest private garden of its time after multiple expansions and renovations. It opened to the public in 1885, transitioning from free to paid admission, and became the largest public activity space for Shanghai residents. However, it declined with the establishment of other amusement parks. The current Zhang Garden has been reborn after reconstruction into a well-planned and splendid area. Featuring Shikumen architecture with warehouse-like gates, it combines modern boutiques, cultural and creative spaces, and dining options. There are occasional pop-up events, making it a great place for photography, strolling, appreciating historical sites, and experiencing the blend of old and new. 📍Address: Taixing Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai, China. √Transportation: Exit 4, Nanjing West Road Station, Metro.

Zhangyuan 张园zhang yuan 📍Location: No. 588 Weihai Road (Line 2 Nanjing West Road Station Exit 3) Zhangyuan is a public space that was purchased by Zhang Xue, a Qing Dynasty merchant, in 1882 and built in a European style. It is said that it is called Zhangyuan because it was developed by the Zhang family. You can see the traditional Shanghai-style Shikumen building in Zhangyuan.

Wandering into the CELINE 夏日限时漫游 pop-up felt like stepping into a sun-drenched daydream. Tucked away from Shanghai’s summer bustle, the space was transformed into a minimalist haven—clean lines, soft tones, and that unmistakable CELINE cool. The scent of leather lingered in the air, and soft jazz played in the background, making it feel more like a curated lounge than a retail space. What I loved most was how effortless everything felt. The displays weren’t crowded or flashy; each bag, each piece of ready-to-wear, had room to breathe. I found myself gravitating toward a sleek Triomphe bag in a pale yellow—subtle, but with just enough attitude to turn heads on a summer day. There were little details that made the visit special: ice-cold drinks in CELINE-branded cups, postcards with clean, sun-washed visuals, and a corner that mimicked a coastal hideaway, complete with rattan chairs and beachy textures. It was a reminder that luxury isn’t always loud—it can be quiet, elegant, and a little bit playful too. Leaving the space, tote in hand, I felt like I’d just returned from a short, stylish holiday—no flight necessary. #shanghaionbudget

This is zhangyuan. Take the subway and get off at west nanjing station, exit 4. You will pass many breakeries. In the morning, they will not let cars in, so you will get many beautiful pictures without people. But if it is after 10 am, they will let cars in. So you have to go early in the morning. Luckily, we stayed near this area, so we could sneak in to take pictures from many angles. I recommend going early in the morning. #Get a discount without relying on luck

It felt like walking in Europe, but it still had a Shanghai feel to it. The atmosphere was sooo good! An old-style red brick building renovated into a cool cafe and a chic clothing store. No matter where you take a picture, it's beautiful. There's Zara, Lululemon, and other Chinese brands with really cool designs. Lots of coffee shops! ☕️ Walking around, I came across many cafes with beautiful designs, such as Seesaw Coffee, M Stand, % Arabica, or you can sit and eat dessert at Lady M. There were a lot of locals and tourists walking around, but it wasn't too crowded. Zhang Yuan used to be an ancient Western village in Shanghai. Now it's been renovated into a premium project, but the original details are still preserved. Those who like old architecture will love it. ⏰ Best time: Come for a walk in the afternoon to evening. The light is beautiful, take beautiful pictures, and all the shops are open. 📍 Location: Near MRT West Nanjing Road Station (Line 2, 12, 13), Exit 1 or 4, and it takes only a few minutes to walk there.

🏦 Zhangyuan, or Zhang's Garden, is a historic and cultural landmark in Shanghai that is situated in the Jing'an District, near West Nanjing Road.
