The Twin Hills (Shuangzi Shan) are a pair of artificial, forested hills located in the southern section of Shanghai Expo Culture Park, along the Pudong riverfront where the 2010 World Expo once stood. Built to give the famously flat city center a touch of mountain landscape, the hills opened in September 2024. They form the first hollow-core artificial mountain in China over forty meters tall, hiding inside their steel-and-concrete structure an exhibition space, a power substation, and an underground parking garage.
The landscaped area spans two peaks: a main summit rising 48 meters and a secondary peak at 37 meters, planted with over seven thousand trees along with streams and small waterfalls. Winding, gently graded paved paths lead visitors to the summits in about fifteen to twenty minutes, and accessible ramps allow wheelchair users to reach the lower viewing platforms.
From the observation decks at the top, the hills offer panoramic views of the park grounds, the Huangpu River, the arched Lupu Bridge, and the skyline of Lujiazui in the distance. At the base, walking routes connect directly to neighboring park attractions, including the Shanghai Greenhouse Garden.
