At the end of April, Fuxing Park and Sinan Mansions will be in full bloom, turning the heart of Shanghai into a real-life version of Monet's Garden.
Waves of roses, wisteria, and garden roses spill across the landscape, blending into a soft, romantic palette that feels lifted from an impressionist masterpiece.
Walking through the tree-lined avenues and sitting by the fountains of Fuxing Park, it's easy to believe you've been transported to a Parisian spring afternoon.

Over 100 curated events will unfold across historic gardens and courtyards: design exhibitions, outdoor markets, roving live music, master yoga sessions, art installations, workshops, poetry readings, and film screenings. Every step, every corner, will reveal something new, something inspiring.

Fuxing Park's 1,500 square meters of blooming rose gardens will be at their peak, while Sinan Mansions, with its century-old villas and hidden courtyards, will offer a dreamlike stage for contemporary creativity.
The historic architecture and lush gardens together create a living canvas where flowers meet literature, music meets history, and everyday life feels momentarily magical.
Visitors can stroll through forest-themed markets, discover handmade crafts, sip coffee surrounded by flower walls, practice yoga under wisteria, or simply sit still and let the music, scents, and sunshine fill every sense.
