Shanghai/ China - 18th April 2019: A view across Mirror Lake with trees reflected in the water and tall apartment buildings in the background in Century Park, Shanghai's largest park on a summer day, License Type: media, Download Time: 2026-08-25T15:28:50.000Z, User: LP_NZhan, Editorial: true, purchase_order: 65050 - Digital Destinations and Articles, job: Nadine Zhan, client: Lonely Planet App, other: Nadine Zhan

This modern park at the eastern end of Century Ave is strong on hard edges and synthetic lines, but there’s an attractive central lake (with expensive boat hire). Children will enjoy themselves, and the spacious paved area between the Science & Technology Museum and the park is great for flying kites (for sale from hawkers) and rollerblading.
