What travelers say:

The 91-year-old Quxi Park is located at No. 203 Quxi Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, Xilin Quxi Road, East near Qudong Branch Road, and South by Qudong Third Road. As of 1995, the total area of Quxi Park was 3.6 million square meters, of which the green area was 2.01 million square meters and the surface area was 1800 square meters. The road floor area is 6500 square meters. The park opened in October 1958 and was named the park. It was expanded and renovated in 1984. The park is planted with flowers and trees, indoor bonsai, lotus flowers in the pool, Lameis planted by the mountain, wood planting on the side of the pavilion, and bamboo repairs on the roadside. The peony in the park is famous, with more than 60 local and Caoxian varieties of peony, 70 kinds of trees in the park, a total of 1590. The ratio of trees to shrubs is 1:0.69, and the ratio of evergreen trees to deciduous trees is 1:0.6. In 2020, Yanxi Park won the "Top Ten Characteristic Plant Areas" of Shanghai Park in 2020 with peony. The southern half of the park was originally a cemetery of the gauze merchant Cao Zhonghuang family, also known as Caojia Garden, built in the Republic of China in 20 years (1931) and completed in the Republic of China in 24 years (1935). During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the park was surrounded by Japanese troops and damaged buildings, flowers and trees. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was renovated and once intended to open tickets, but it was not a fact. On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, the Kuomintang troops were stationed in the park and the landscape was once again damaged. After the liberation of Shanghai, the park was even more deserted due to long-term unmanaged. On May 29, 1957, the Shanghai Municipal Planning Bureau decided that the land of the Shanghai Landscape Management Office was designated as a park. For this reason, the Shanghai People's Committee allocated funds for a comprehensive renovation. In October 1958, the park was officially opened to the public and named it Luxi Park. In 1984, the park was merged into 10,000 square meters of land in the northeast of the park; after the expansion, the park was in a rectangular shape from the north to the south, and the water lily pool, lake center pavilion, Biquan, four corner pavilion, etc. were newly opened. I accidentally saw Figure 8, the May 20 Movement in the park: On May 20, 1947, students from North China and Ningxia held "anti-hunger, anti-civil war, anti-persecution" marches in Beiping, Tianjin, Nanjing and Shanghai, respectively. Students chanted "anti-civil war, anti-hunger, anti-authoritarianism", "anti-conscription of food", "increase education funds", "cancel special services organizations" and other slogans, and actively prepared to start a strike, strike, strike and strike on June 2. The marches were bloody suppressed by Kuomintang agents and military police.
