Zuibaichi Garden
醉白池
A classical Ming and Qing garden in the old town of Songjiang, known for its Zuibai Pond waterscape, ancient camphor trees, and stone inscriptions. It is one of Shanghai's five classical gardens.
Zuibaichi Garden is on Renmin South Road in Songjiang District. It began as a gathering place for literati, including Dong Qichang, during the Ming dynasty. In the early Qing dynasty, Gu Dashen built the garden in the spirit of Bai Juyi's late-life poetry about drinking and reflection, and named it accordingly. The garden centers on its pond, with the Four-Sided Hall, Letian Pavilion, and Xuehai Hall around it. Long corridors hold precious stone inscriptions, including the 'Portraits of Yunjian Worthies.' Ancient camphor trees and ginkgoes tower over the grounds, and peony and chrysanthemum exhibitions are held every year. Admission is about 12 yuan. Opening hours are roughly 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Zuibaichi Station on Metro Line 9 is about a 5-minute walk away. It can be combined with Songjiang Fangta Garden and the Cang City Historic Block.
