Fuxing Park is located in the former French Concession of Shanghai, in Luwan District. The park is designed in the French style with a central lake, fountains, covered pavilions and flowerbeds. Early morning, the park fills with dancers, card players, mahjong enthusiasts and people exercising and doing tai chi. The park was originally named Gu's Park but during the French occupation it became a military encampment. After the French, the Japanese renamed the park Daxing Park. Finally, in the mid 20th century the Chinese regained control of the park land and dubbed it "Fuxing Park."
