China - Shanghai - Jing'an Garden

Saturday, 4 May 2019 (mostly)

This lovely park, across a street from the Jing'an Temple, is a quiet refuge in busy Shanghai. It was only a block from our hotel, so we walked through several times.

The park is surrounded by high-rise buildings (and heavily trafficked streets) on every side, but the pond and restaurant provide a green oasis.
I really don't know why rhino sculptures are so prominently featured in the park.
Another bronze rhino in the park.
The garden is known for its cats, but we only saw two on our visits.
A pet turtle was being taken for a swim in the park's pond.
Most morning exercises worked on traditional tai chi and dancing (line dancing and ballroom dancing), but this gentleman was performing tai chi moves while doing a head stand.
