From the Xilin pagoda central city area to the Fangta pagoda its a 30 minutes walk to the east on Zhongshan Lu. The garden is a newly renovated and includes a large peaceful area and some 600 year old trees. A few "attractions", such electric boats, auto scooter for kids and the like at the outer places of the park disturb the peaceful overall impression. Still and the park and pagoda is highly recommended and a peaceful refreshment from crowded Shanghai city.
