Marriage Market
The Marriage Market is the highlight of the Shanghai People's Park. It attracts a lot of people on weekends. Even some parents come here to choose the future wives and husbands of their children. On the notes are written the personal information of those who want to find a partner, including their gender, age, occupations, income, photos, telephone number, and educational background. In addition, their requirements for partners can be found on the notes. For instance, one man wants to find a good-looking and slim lady to be his future wife.
English Corner
In the 1980s, some college students and English lovers came to the park to communicate with foreign tourists to practice their spoken English. The practice has been kept ever since. Every Sunday, the English corner attracts a lot of kids, students, foreign tourists, and senior citizens. It is a very interesting place.

Shanghai People's Park China HD
Shanghai's Renmin Park
Renmin Park or People's Park /人民公园 is a public park in Huangpu District of central Shanghai. It is located south of Nanjing Road, a major shopping street, and north of People's Square. Originally the northern part of the Shanghai Race Club's race course, the park was created in 1952. With several major museums and Shanghai's main shopping street nearby, it is one of the top tourist destinations in the city.
The park is built on the grounds of the former Shanghai Race Club, which was established by the British in 1862. It was the leading horse racing track in East Asia, and a popular place for the Chinese and the British for gambling on horse racing. The club building, built in 1933, became a landmark in downtown Shanghai.
The club's flagpole was considered a great shame for the Chinese, as it was made from the mast of a Chinese warship captured by British and American troops. When the People's Republic of China was founded on 1 October 1949, the new Chinese national flag was hung from the pole. The new Communist government banned horse racing and gambling, and converted the racecourse into People's Park (the northern half) and People's Square (the southern half) in 1952.
In the 1990s, major changes were made to the area. The Shanghai Municipal Government was moved to just south of the park from the former HSBC Building on The Bund. Other additions include the Shanghai Museum, the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, also south of the park.

Top 6 Things to do in Shanghai, China
Shanghai is where Peter was born and where his family are all from. It's the largest city in China based on population and over the years it's become one of the world's most bustling modern metropolises. If you're planning to visit Shanghai, we've compiled our list of Top 6 Things To Do while visiting this mega city.
While eating would normally be in our top things to do lists, we've dedicated an entire video about Shanghai food already and where to get some of the best food in Shanghai which you can check out here:
There are a number of must do activities in Shanghai so we hope you find our list helpful for ideas on where to go in Shanghai and what to do when you're visiting this amazing city.
===============
TOP THINGS TO DO IN SHANGHAI
1 - Yu Garden
Yu Garden / Yu Yuan / Yu Yuan Garden (yuan means garden in Chinese btw) boasts many eateries. It's famous for its Chinese garden and incredible food and tourist scene, making this place a must visit and one of the best things to do in Shanghai. It's a great place to pick up souvenirs too. Be sure to visit both in the day and night to see all the buildings light up.
Address: 218 Anren St, Huangpu, China, 200000
2 - The Bund
When in Shanghai, another must visit attraction is The Bund. The Bund also known as Waitan is Shanghai's main waterfront area in central Shanghai, China. Bask in the view of the amazing Shanghai skyline from Waitan. Shanghai is famous for all their different and very unique skyscraper buildings and The Bund is where you can get a fantastic view of all the incredible modern Chinese and western architecture.
3 - Shanghai Museum
If you're into Chinese history, art and culture, another top thing to do in Shanghai is visit the Shanghai Museum. The renowned Shanghai Museum is home to ancient Chinese relics, filled with galleries and exhibitions showcasing historical national treasures. Bonus thing is that the Shanghai Museum is free entry.
Address: 201 Renmin Avenue, People's Square, Shanghai, 200003
4 - Tianzifang
Tianzi Fang located in the French Quarter is an arts and crafts enclave where you can expect to find interesting boutique shops, bars and restaurants. Tianzifang developed from a renovated traditional residential area in the French Concession area in Shanghai and so you can see some of the older residential homes while walking around the many alleyways and side streets. If you love shopping, you'll be spoilt for choice in Shanghai with the likes of Nanjing lu (Nanjing Road) which is close to The Bund. Nanjing lu is great if you're into the whole regular, big, modern shopping malls type environment. Nanjing Road is where the main shopping district is at but if you're looking for something more unique, Tianzifang is definitely a must-visit attraction in Shanghai. You'll be able to find some great souvenirs from Tianzi Fang while enjoying a more boutique shopping scene.
5 - Shanghai Urban City Planning Exhibition Center
A top attraction in Shanghai especially if you're into history and want to learn about how this incredible city came to be, is the Shanghai Urban City Planning Exhibition Center, located on People's Square. This is the perfect place to learn about Shanghai's history and future from an architectural and city planning point of view. The Shanghai Urban City Planning Exhibition Center is also commonly referred to as the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum.
Address: 100 Renmin Ave, Ren Min Guang Chang, Huangpu, Shanghai, China
6 - Huangpu River Cruise
One of the best ways to soak in the sights of Shanghai city is to take a boat cruise along Huangpu River. It's one of the must-do activities when visiting Shanghai because of the incredible views of the cityscape. We recommend going on the Huangpu River cruise closer to the evening so you get both the day and night views of Shanghai as well as an epic sunset if you're lucky. We took the regular route down Shiliupu Wharf. Huangpu River Cruise is a great way to relax and soak in Shanghai's cityscape. To get on the boat cruise for Huangpu River, simply visit any of the kiosks along The Bund to get your tickets.

harvardmagazine.com:
“In sculpture, you are always fighting the deadness of a thing,” says Murray Dewart ’70, paraphrasing Victorian critic Walter Pater. “The secret of sculpture is getting the feeling that the life force is pushing from the inside out. You get it in bread.” He picks up a fresh baguette. “This has risen two or three times,” he explains. “The form is being inflated from the inside out. That is what great sculpture does. [Alexander] Calder or George Rickey wanted to get things moving in the sunlight—the spark is the reflection of light as the thing turns. It has to come alive.”
One of Dewart’s sculptures, Sabbath Loaf (2005)—installed this summer at The Mount, Edith Wharton’s home in Lenox, Massachusetts—in fact resembles a bronze loaf of challah, halved and standing vertically, like a sandwich with a filling of smooth river stones. Much of his work is in bronze and granite: the forms are simple, often resembling gates, and they feel rooted, like the five-foot-tall Sun Gate installed in the McKinlock courtyard of Harvard’s Leverett House. Across the planet, in the International Sculpture Park of Fuzhou, China, the 12-foot Earth House Hold (2003) uses two massive granite pillars to support a bronze grid with a bronze arch surmounting. “When the granite is rough-cut in the right way,” Dewart says, “you can still feel the mountain speak.”
Dewart (rhymes with Stuart; dewartsculpture.com) makes sculptures that often occupy gardens, where their simplicity both contrasts and harmonizes with the live landscape. Many viewers find an Asian sensibility in his works. “There’s a spiritual component in me, as there is in old stone and forms coming out of China and Japan,” he explains. “Their central element has a balanced, harmonic kind of equilibrium, an emblem of what I am yearning for, not necessarily of what I’ve found.” Some Chinese buyers apparently do appreciate his efforts; Beijing also has two of his works in its international sculpture park.
After college (where he concentrated in English but did some seminal sculpting in Carpenter Center), Dewart returned to his home state of Vermont, where he and his wife, Mary, lived on a remote, 100-acre farm at the end of a road near Lake Champlain. Over seven years, he taught himself sculpture, beginning with wood carving, which he practiced for two decades. He recalls having “a great adventurous, independent youth,” doing things like working as a roustabout in a Wyoming oil field. “If you didn’t take risks early,” he says, “you’d never be crazy enough to do something as dangerous and financially risky as becoming an artist.”
He notes also that “you have to be clever to survive as an artist.” His works began selling only about 20 years ago, so Dewart has held many day jobs. He has taught sculpture often, including 10 years at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. He recalls attending a black-tie dinner at the Fogg Museum where, poignantly, he locked eyes with a neighbor and fellow artist who was serving him. Yet, “if you ask your art to support you early in your career, you’ll probably be doing fairly stupid things as an artist,” he says. “When you burden your art with ulterior motives, you can ruin it.”
In 1978, just before their second son was born, the Dewarts abandoned their rural isolation for Boston, where he vowed “never to be cut off again.” He started organizing sculptors’ dinners to offset “the loneliness of being an artist. Art grows from nature, and it also grows from other artists, both long-dead and living ones.” The dinners grew into the Boston Sculptors Gallery, now 20 years old, with 36 members, half male, half female. They’ve staged shows all over the world, from Peru to Paris, including a major assemblage of works installed at the Christian Science Plaza in Boston this year. “It’s the community I wanted,” Dewart says.
But the sculptor’s process requires solitude, too. Each day begins with a blank sheet of paper at dawn; Dewart writes or draws whatever comes to him. He’s now on his sixty-fifth volume of this daily journal. “I am trying to please something in the eye and the heart,” he says. “You have to come into the studio and have something powerful happen to you.” When he enters his studio, “there’s a certain amount of chaos,” he says, and you never know when something will trigger an idea. It might, for example, be a fragrant baguette.
