People's Square is a spectacular space in
the heart of the city. Formerly the city's
race-course, a sports arena and a gamblers
paradise, the area west of Nanjing Lu was
converted after the war to become the People's
Square. Unlike many other Chinese city squares,
Renmin Guangchang is not a concrete mass but
a vast green area including plants and trees
and surrounded by spectacular buildings on
all sides.
The Square has been renovated again recently
and opened up further and many of the old
buildings around here are in the process of
being ripped down.
Today, the Square covers 140,000 square
meters. In the north lies the Municipal
Government Mansion, an impressive and serious
building which is not open to the public.
In the northwest sits the Shanghai Grand
Theatre, a colossal construction made almost
entirely from glass which is balanced by
the brand new Exhibition Hall for City Planning
in the east. The most impressive building
in the square however, is the Shanghai Museum.
Perfectly smooth and symmetrical, the building
was designed to resemble a Chinese cooking
pot. The Square is particularly spectacular
at night, when steam appears to seep out
of the roof of the museum and the light
bounces off the glass walls of the Grand
Theatre.
Tucked away in the northwest corner of
the square is the quirky Bird and Flower
Market where locals come to buy trinkets,
plants, fish and parade birds in their cages!
These few lanes off Huangpi Lu are a great
contrast to the modern constructions in
the main square.
The Square offers unusual and impressive
views of the city. Surrounded on all sides
by mammoth and overpowering constructions,
new buildings attack you from all sides.
The panorama of the city from the Square,
while not the picture postcard image of
Shanghai's Bund, is arguably, the most accurate
image which reflects the changing nature
of this sophisticated and modern city.
