Visit Kangjian Park in Shanghai to learn about its past and present.

Kangjian Park is located in Xuhui District, Shanghai. The park is bordered by Liuzhou Road to the east, Guanshengyuan Road to the south, Guilin Road to the west, and Caohejing Port to the north, covering an area of 95,676 square meters. The park was originally a private Kangjian Park Farm for amusement. It was founded in 1937 by Bao Qinxuan (stage name Ke Tianying), a magician in Shanghai. It was opened to the public on April 1, 1953, and was named "Kangjian Park Farm" after the public-private partnership in 1956. It was named "Kangjian Park" in 1958. In September 1984, the Municipal Science and Technology Association and the Municipal Garden Management Bureau reached an agreement to rebuild the park into a park with the main activity of propagating and popularizing scientific knowledge, and set up a variety of amusement machine projects in the park. It was renamed "Science Popularization Park" on May 4, 1985, and restored to its original name "Kangjian Park" on January 1, 1990. The park was expanded twice in 1987 and 2000 after its completion. The park adopts Japanese-style architecture and courtyard-style greening layout. Because of the depression into a pool, along the Fu Lei Mountain, pavilions and pavilions are scattered and scattered. The park is beautiful, with mountains and rivers reflecting each other. The light boat in the lake is rippling, the forest is lush, the stone bamboo forest is standing, the peony flowers are rich and luxurious, the cherry blossoms are competing for beauty, the hibiscus flowers are elegant and elegant, the boat is rippling, the car is traveling around the mountain, and there are more Japanese huts in the park, which adds a bit of elegance to the whole park. The flowers and trees in the park are mainly hibiscus, cherry blossoms, peonies, and osmanthus. Michelia, Magnolia, Crape Myrtle, and Four Seasons flowers are blooming. The peony in the park has been growing for a hundred years. This year, a piece of pink maiden grass was planted in the park. It is a pity that in this picturesque scenery, there is a discordant scene. Some citizens ignore the regulations of the park and the life of flowers and grass, and walk or lie in the pink maiden grass to take pictures. Last time I said that Guilin Park is located on the northwest side of Kangjian Park, and it is opposite to Kangjian Park across Caohejing. So, after leaving the south gate of Guilin Park that day, we went to Kangjian Park in the southeast. As soon as I walked into Kangjian Park, I met a warm-hearted aunt. Auntie said, anyway, I also came to stroll around, so I took us for a big walk in the park, and introduced and explained all the way. It turned out that Auntie had lived in a small area on the north side of Kangjian Park for more than 20 years, witnessing the rectification and widening of Caohejing in front of the door over the years, and the expansion of Kangjian Park. Their small area also benefited from the fact that developers built new houses next to them and helped them refresh the exterior walls of the two buildings. Auntie vividly told us about the huge changes in this area over the years, and the words were all praise for the government and gratitude for society. I can't help but sigh: Yeah! Only those who know how to be grateful can feel happy!
