Quiet fairyland hidden in downtown Shanghai

0 Comment(s)Print E-mail People's Daily, October 31, 2012

Fuxing Island lies in the Yangpu district in Shanghai, at the east shore line of the Huangpu River at the northern edge of Pudong developing belt. Fuxing Island is unknown to the outside world although it lies inside the downtown Shanghai. It's perhaps a destination only for serious history buffs, since the sole attraction here is the villa where Cheng Kai Shek spent his last night in Shanghai before fleeing to Taiwan in 1949. Though the rest of the island bears the marks of heavy industry, the Fuxing Island park itself is actually rather nice; shaded by ancient camphor trees and delightfully well-kept.
