in the park...
The following images were taken in the New Hongqiao Center Park in October 2010. The park is wedged between the Yan'an elevated road to the north and the more recently constructed Yili Road subway station on its southern flank. Situated just to the west of the inner ring road (West), the park is adjacent to the Hongqiao development zone, a key commercial and residential area.
It is a well known Shanghai neighbourhood park and popular as a venue for outdoor wedding photo shoots, fish feeding and morning exercise.
