Fuxing Park is a public park in the heart of Shanghai's former French Concession. Originally the private Gu Family Garden, the site was acquired by French concession authorities at the turn of the twentieth century and officially opened in 1909 as the French Park. Following the end of the Second World War, it was renamed Fuxing Park, meaning "Revival Park".
It is the only park in Shanghai preserved in a classical French layout. Broad plane-tree-lined avenues, fountains, and a central sunken flowerbed that changes with the seasons define its geometric landscaping. In the northern section stands an imposing stone monument depicting Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, unveiled in 1985.
The park offers a vivid window into local Shanghai culture. From early morning onwards, neighborhood residents gather across the pavilions, plazas, and shaded alleys to practice tai chi, ballroom dancing, and traditional Chinese opera, or to meet for spirited rounds of cards and mahjong.
