THE STOPS
Where will you get off?
Follow the line order and choose a neighbourhood, a view or somewhere to slow down.
4 places
01Century Park
Make room for a little green
Follow lakeside paths through trees and lawns. The park is large, so choose a short section you like and enjoy a relaxed outdoor break.
From Huamu Road station, choose a Century Park entrance before navigating. The park’s gates are spread over a large area.
Allow around · 60–120 min
02West Bund Waterfront
Let the river set the pace
Riverside paths connect industrial heritage and art venues. The waterfront covers a broad area, so choose your destination before setting out.
From Middle Longhua Road station, head towards the West Bund. Choose a waterfront entrance or specific venue first, as the area is extensive.
Allow around · 60–120 min
03Jing’an Temple & Park
Golden roofs in the city
Admire the temple roofs from the street, then take a break in the park opposite. Check current admission arrangements if you want to enter the temple.
Exit 2 at Jing’an Temple station serves the temple; the park is opposite.
Allow around · 45–90 min
04Gucun Park
Choose a little woodland to explore
A spacious park of woodland, lakes and seasonal flowers.
Walk from Gucun Park station to a park entrance. The park is large; pick a main area rather than trying to cover it all.
Allow around · 2–3 hours
MAKE A DAY OF IT
A few stops. A good day out.
A city-centre stop, then a park afternoon.
Pair the Jing’an Temple neighbourhood with Gucun Park, allowing time for the metro journey between them. Save Century Park in Pudong for another outing.
- 1Begin around Jing’an Temple
Jing’an Temple & Park
See the golden roofs from surrounding streets and pause in Jing’an Park. Entering the temple is a separate choice with its own admission arrangements.
See this stop ↑↓ Take Line 7 from Jing’an Temple towards Meilan Lake to Gucun Park.
- 2Give the afternoon to trees and water
Gucun Park
Choose one part of the large park, walk at your own pace and build in breaks. There is no need to cover every area.
See this stop ↑
These editorial time estimates include walking, breaks and casual sightseeing, but not a full exhibition visit, long queues or extended shopping.
BEFORE YOU GO
A little planning goes a long way.
Choose a park gate or a waterfront section
Century Park, Gucun Park and the West Bund each cover a large area. Navigate to a specific entrance or venue and plan walking around your energy that day.
Check admission before deciding your day
Gardens, temples, museums and performances have their own opening and admission arrangements. Suggested durations are editorial estimates and do not include long queues.
