SHANGHAI, Dec. 12, 2022 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

On Nov. 27, 2022, Chang-Su-Ho Garden, which is originally built in 1882, 
breathtakingly reopens after a century.
     
Chang-Su-Ho Garden locates in the West Nanjing Road historic culture scenic 
area, downtown Shanghai. The garden preserves 13 municipal-level historic 
architecture and 24 cultural relic protection units. A century ago, the first 
public street lamp in Shanghai was lighted here, the first bicycle was unveiled 
here, the first outdoor photo studio was also opened here... Nowadays, 
Shanghai's most prestigious garden welcomes new life as culture, art, fashion 
and trend intertwine, according to Jing'an Real Estate.

As a new model of Shanghai's "city renovation", the Shikuman-Gate Chang-Su-Ho 
Garden, which is remodeled just like how it was in olden times, is a new 
landmark of Shanghai's Chinese-Western-fusion-style architecture, bringing a 
sense of elegance to West Nanjing Road, which is crowded with pointy 
sky-scrapers. Top-tier brands pack the West zone, underscoring the 
"first-store", "first-appearance", "first-release" effect. The West zone 
establishes an influential and reputational commercial street in the city 
center by forming a completed commercial panel with Fengsheng Lane through 
experience-based, state-of-the-art shopping style. 

In the future, the East zone is planned to home exquisite hotels, apartment 
buildings and innovative office areas. The South and North zone will carry 
performance centers, galleries and other cultural sites. Together they will 
form a brand new business dynamic with Shanghai-style characteristics, 
injecting more energy, which includes an equilibrium of innovative fun and 
historic heritage, into "Shanghai Culture and Shanghai Shopping", so that the 
area will become the parlor of a globally brilliant city facing the world.
