Yuyuan Road
愚园路
A century-old road between Changning and Jing'an, lined with new-style lanes and garden villas, where recent small-shop renovations have revitalized the old street.
Yuyuan Road was first built in 1911. It runs from Jing'an Temple in the east to Zhongshan Park in the west, lined with new-style lanes, garden villas and former residences of celebrities, such as Qian Xuesen's former home, Qishan Village and Yugu Village. In recent years, the Changning section has undergone a 'Good Life Neighborhood' renovation, turning old walls and street-front shops into cafés, flower shops, boutiques and community galleries. It preserves residents' everyday life while suiting visitors who want to stroll slowly. The road is open all day free of charge. Take Metro Line 2 or 7 to Jing'an Temple Station, or Line 2, 3 or 4 to Zhongshan Park Station. It can be combined with Jing'an Temple and the Hengfu historic district toward Wukang Road.
