Embrace the serene summer breeze along Suzhou Creek at the vibrant 5th Half Marathon Suzhou Creek culture tourism festival. Its highlight is the "joyful cruise week", which invites visitors to explore the riverbank in Putuo district and discover a dynamic blend of culture, dining, and leisure starting from Zhongshan Park Terminal.

Positioned between the verdant Zhongshan Park and the historic East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL), Zhongshan Park Terminal offers a gateway to the area's rich heritage.

Just steps away is the 900-meter ECUPL riverside promenade, celebrated as Shanghai's most picturesque waterfront, integrating St. John's century-old buildings with the natural river landscape, creating a living tapestry of history. At St. John’s University, striking red-brick buildings showcase a unique fusion of Western and Chinese architectural styles.

Nearby, East China Normal University (Putuo Campus) offers tranquil walks past restored historical buildings. Stroll along the peaceful Liwa River, cross the charming Lihong Bridge, and delve into millennia of Chinese history at the campus museums housing over 3,000 artifacts.

Experience urban renewal at Baixi Park. Transformed from an unused market into Shanghai's first artistic high line park, its innovative three-level design features exhibition spaces, sports courts, and meandering aerial walkways beneath the towering twin skyscrapers of Global Harbor.

Speaking of icons, Shanghai Global Harbor stuns with its palatial Baroque design. Ascend to its newly opened 258-meter-high sky terrace for breathtaking panoramic views encompassing the Lujiazui skyline, Putuo's landmarks, and the winding Suzhou Creek – especially magical at night.
