FengqiMagnolia Park, a new urban green space named after Shanghai's city flower, has completed its phased construction including tree planting and is expected to open to the public in the second half of this year.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the magnolia being selected as Shanghai's city flower, and the newly planted magnolia trees in the park have bloomed.

Located in the core area of the Fengqi "urban village" redevelopment zone, the park is bordered by Qujiagang Riverto the east, Fengxi Pond to the south, and Xintongbo Pond to the west, covering a total area of approximately 18,600 square meters.

Designed with water as its soul and greenery as its veins, the park features three functional zones: the Green Lawn, the Fengxi Future Core, and the Jiangnan AestheticsDock. Together, they aim to create a multifaceted space suitable for celebrations, lawn camping, cultural exhibitions, waterfront experiences, and ecological exploration.
