The newly completed Minhang Park

The land of Minhang Park was a cemetery in the early days of liberation. When we were young, adults forbade us to play there.

With the withdrawal of Minhang District and Shanghai County, the economic and cultural center of the old Minhang was moved to Xinzhuang, and the facilities and equipment of the workers' new villages in the 1950s were old and aging, and it is believed that after the transformation of the government's old public houses, the old appearance will surely change into a new look.
