Gucheng Park at night: use Gates 5 or 8 and respect closures

Use the park’s designated night entrances and do not treat 24-hour access as access to every area.

Shanghai’s municipal park page says Gucheng Park in Huangpu is open 24/7 and links the Bund with Yu Garden. For nighttime use, it directs visitors to Gates 5 and 8, notes 24/7 restrooms at Gate 8, and warns that specific areas close from 10 pm to 5 am for safety.

A clear next step

  1. Route to 古城公园 in Huangpu when walking between the Bund and Yu Garden.
  2. At night, enter or exit through Gate 5 or Gate 8; use Gate 8 if you need the published 24-hour restroom access.
  3. Follow closures and avoid restricted areas, especially where the park closes specific sections from 10 pm to 5 am.
