Jing An Gongyuan (Jing An Park)

Frommer's Review

This pleasant little park was completely remodeled in 1999 when the new Jing An Metro station was created. Its north side consists of a sunken cement courtyard, flanked by a few shops, cafes, and the Metro entrance; the south side, dominated by a pond that is an artful re-creation of a classic Southern Chinese garden, is a pretty spot to stroll, people-watch, or enjoy an evening drink at the bar in the adjacent Indonesian restaurant (Bali Laguna). Mornings are a perfect time to watch (or join) tai chi classes, while Sunday morning (8:30-11am) brings out the polyglots (mostly Chinese who want to practice their English) to the multi-language corner (wai yu jiao) at the eastern end of the park.
