The French romantic garden in Shanghai is now open! The hydrangeas are blooming beautifully right now
You can always trust the Hengfu area of Shanghai, where even the median parks are accompanied by French-style old houses!
With the unveiling of a green space at the intersection of Hengshan Road and Wuxing Road, which is an excellent historical building, the Hengfu plane tree area has gained another open pocket park for daily leisure, flower appreciation, and photography. It has a very pleasant name, called 'Libo·Shuiyang'.
🏠 95-year-old Libo Garden
▫️ There are many works by the Lai'an Foreign Firm around Hengshan Road and Yongjia Road, and Libo Garden is one of them. Completed in 1928, this modern detached garden residence, as an early classic work of Lai'an, has a distinctive classical style; after the 1930s, Lai'an mainly focused on designing modernist buildings.
▫️ The distant small building with its double-sloped red tile roof and white cement scraped wall surface exudes a strong French flair. Closer by, there are retro European fountains, exquisite green lawns, and winding paths that give an immediate impression of an oil painting. It matches well with Hengshan Road, known as the 'Champs-Élysées of the East'.
⛲️ From Private Garden to Median Park
▫️ Libo Garden was originally the private residence of the chairman of the Banque de l'Indochine, Lenton, and later the Shanghai Institute of Sports. Neither the building nor the large lawn to the south of the main house has been open to the public for a long time.
▫️ After a series of renovations, the past boundaries have been removed, and everyone can finally enter the former private garden and closely admire this charming historical building.
💐 In the Prime of Hydrangea Blooming
▫️ The park is not large, but you can walk around the lawn along the trail and encounter some exquisite garden features unexpectedly.
▫️ Currently, in many parks and green spaces in Shanghai, hydrangeas are blooming vigorously, and a small patch has also been planted at the entrance of Libo Garden. Although it is not as large-scale as other well-known viewing spots, the combination of hydrangeas and old Western-style houses enhances each other's beauty.
▫️ The colorful hydrangeas paired with purple plants like the hundred-son lotus and lavender, against the backdrop of the open lawn, create a clustered floral display in the small green space.

After unblocking, I rode a bicycle through a particularly interesting small store, just opposite the Hengfu style museum. When I passed by, I was covered by its extraordinarily simple and elegant door face, and my eyes could not be released. The most amazing thing is that the air is faintly scented, and the logo and so on are very incense-burning. I have never seen the same thing elsewhere, unique. The clothing sold is cotton and hemp texture and is very comfortable. The staff is also very enthusiastic, such a good shop is not sure if it can continue.
