Historical evolution

The origin of the name

Changfeng Park was named Huxi park when it was being built. It was renamed Biluo lake park when it was partially opened in 1958. On the eve of the opening of the park in 1959, Wei Wenbo, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, changed the name of the park to Changfeng Park according to the meaning of "willing to ride the long wind to break the waves" in the book of song Zong Ke Zhuan, and named the artificial lake "yinchuhu" and datushan "tiearmed mountain" according to the sentence of "silver hoe in TIANLIAN Wuling and iron arm shaking in earth moving mountains and rivers" in Mao Zedong's poem to send the God of pestilence.

Evolution of construction

The site of Changfeng Park used to be the west old river bend in the ancient Wusong River (Suzhou River). There is a village named songjiatan, commonly known as laohetan, on the high ground of the bay. Beside the village is a cemetery. Because of the low-lying and easy waterlogging, the farmers get little from farming, which is a poor beach.

At the beginning of 1956, the Shanghai Municipal People's government decided to expropriate all the beaches in the xilaohe area west of East China Normal University and east of Daduhe road to build the park. In October of the same year, the land acquisition team began to work.

In March 1957, the land acquisition of the park was completed.

On April 4, 1957, the first phase project of Changfeng Park started, covering an area of 212 mu (141300 square meters), accounting for about 40% of the total area of the park. The main project is to transform the terrain, build bridges and roads, and plant 56000 trees, which was completed on December 3.

On July 1, 1958, Changfeng Park was partially opened for trial, and the second phase of the project started in the same month. There used to be only the xilaohe River, which covers an area of 69 mu (46000 square meters). The newly excavated Great Lake expands the water surface to 214 mu (142700 square meters), with an average water depth of 1.5 meters. About 300000 cubic meters of soil excavated during the construction were piled into tiebangshan, which covers an area of 15 mu (10000 square meters) and is 26 meters high, and heisongshan, which covers an area of 5.5 mu (3667 square meters) and is 11 meters high. 95% of the low-lying land is also filled with 1 meter high, thus solving the long-standing problem of ponding in this area.

On October 1, 1959, Changfeng Park was officially opened to the public.

In 1968, Changfeng Park added 700 cubic meters of soil to tiebangshan and built 3500 meters of stone revetment beside YinChi lake.

In 1972, due to the serious soil loss of tiebangshan, ten terraced retaining walls were built on the north and east slopes of Changfeng Park.

From 1982 to 1988, Changfeng Park built or rebuilt one corridor, nine pavilions, open-air stage, open-air swimming pool and yinchihu restaurant.

In 1984 and 1990, a bronze statue of Lei Feng and an underground group sculpture of young pioneers were built in Changfeng Park.

In 1995, Changfeng Park implemented heisongshan reconstruction project and infrastructure maintenance.

In 1996, the 150 mu YinChi lake and the 50 mu xilaohe river dredging project were completed in Changfeng Park, and the 1500 meter lakeside revetment wall was also repaired.

In 1998, Changfeng Park adjusted the green space, palm forest, rebuilt the green bridge and built a new large fountain.

In 1999, a marine aquarium, Changfeng Ocean World Aquarium, was built at the bottom of YinChi Lake in Changfeng Park.

In 2004, Changfeng ocean world polar beluga performance hall was completed and opened.

In 2015, Changfeng Park reconstructed 800 square meters near fan Pavilion in Songzhumei area.

The water surface adopts the layout of gathering as the main part and dividing as the auxiliary part, and retains the original xilao River, which turns from the southeast to the north and then to the west to encircle the whole mountain. Tiebangshan has undulating mountains and winding veins. Heisongshan extends eastward across the river, which is consistent with the northwest veins of tiebangshan, so as to increase the level of garden space and avoid the same outline of the mountain. On the lakeside side of the mountain, there are pavilions, pavilions and corridors for people to rest, iron arm stone scenery, silver hoe and blue waves, green maple and green state, sunset, three friends in the cold, spring pool, water lily pool, etc., which constitute more than 20 garden attractions.
