Other visitors' reviews of People's Square
Show More ReviewsPeople's Square, located in the heart of Shanghai, stretches from Xizang Middle Road in the east to Huangpi Road in the west, seamlessly connecting to People's Park in the north and Yan'an Elevated Road in the south. While easily accessible by car with underground parking, the heavy traffic necessitates convenient public transportation. It serves as a transfer hub for Metro Lines 1, 2, and 8, making arrival and transfers very easy. People's Square houses major cultural venues such as the Shanghai Museum (People's Square branch), the Shanghai Grand Theatre, the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, and the Shanghai History Museum. It faces the Shanghai Concert Hall and Shanghai Great World across the street and is very close to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, making it a popular spot for tourists and locals to enjoy a city walk. The square is filled with white doves of peace, which can be admired and fed, adding a touch of vibrancy to the sky above People's Square.
