Shanghai's Pioneering 24-Hour Parks

Shanghai is leading the trend of opening parks 24 hours a day, with over 70% of urban parks accessible all day by the end of 2023. This innovative concept aims to redefine urban green spaces, such as the Mihang Cultural Park, the largest in the Outlying District. The city is promoting the idea of transforming a city within parks rather than parks within a city, with a focus on providing accessible green spaces for residents day and night.
