Development history
In 1938, the land purchased by the Council of the French concession was used as the foundation for the new office building. In June 1940, the French government surrendered to Germany and the construction of office buildings was shelved. In 1941, the Council decided to build a park for French children, which was once known as a children's Park. Due to the protest of the Chinese, it was forced to open to the outside world on January 30, 1942. In memory of the former diplomat lanwiener of the French Consulate General in Shanghai who died in the anti German war in 1939, it was named lanwiener Park, also known as dume park. In 1943, it was renamed Taishan park. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, it was renamed Linsen Park in 1946. On May 28, 1950, the Shanghai Municipal People's Government approved the change to Xiangyang park. In 1961, the Capital Construction Committee of the Municipal People's Committee approved the incorporation of the adjacent 1900 square meters of land into the park, slightly expanding it to today's scale.
