People's Square

People's Square Review

Once the southern half of the city's racetrack, Shanghai's main square has become a social and cultural center. The Shanghai Museum is inside it, and the Municipal Offices, Grand Theater, and Shanghai Urban Planning Center surround it. During the day, visitors and residents stroll, fly kites, and take their children to feed the pigeons. In the evening, kids roller-skate, ballroom dancers hold group lessons, and families relax together. Weekends here are especially busy.
