About Century Park
Its designed landscape is divided into contrasting areas rather than one uniform lawn.
The lakeside zone opens views across water, while the forest landscape and grass areas provide denser and more open planted settings. These differences make a simple route through the park: start at the water, continue through trees and finish in a lawn area. Choose the gate that fits this route from the current park map.
What to look for
- The Lakeside Scenic Area provides the park’s principal water views.
- The Forest Landscape Area contrasts with the open grass areas.
Background & history
Century Park (simplified Chinese: 世纪公园; traditional Chinese: 世紀公園; pinyin: Shìjì Gōngyuán; Shanghainese: Sy-ci Kon-yoe) is the largest Park in Shanghai, located at the end of Century Avenue on Jinxiu Road, in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, near the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. It was designed by the British environmental consultancy LUC and was built in four years from 1996 to 2000. Century is 140 hectares (350 acres) and lies to the south of Century Boulevard (世纪大道). Century Park is divided into seven parts, the Lakeside Scenic Area, the Forest Landscape Area, the Amenity Grass, the Nature Reserve, the Folk Village, the Exotic Zone, and the Mini Golf Course.
