Guangqi Park is to commemorate the park opened by Xu Guangqi. There is also Xu Guangqi's cemetery inside. The park is open and you can go in and walk around. There is a tomb of Mr. Guangqi. More special. This tomb is a cross.
Nandan Road Wending intersection newly opened Yuxingji finished eating noodles, took a walk to Xujiahui, passing by Guangqi Park, the sun was very good, so I went in for a walk. I have been here four or five years ago. Now the Xu Guangqi Memorial Hall inside has to scan the code to register and wear a mask to visit. It is so troublesome and stuffy. I don't like it very much. It is still the most comfortable to turn around naturally outdoors. The sky is so good, and the tombs don't look so cloudy. The path in the garden is quiet, the pond has revealed a trace of spring, and the tomb road of Xu Guangqi Cemetery is still the first time to walk completely. It can be seen that the renovation is getting better and better now. The small bridge steps at the entrance of the park are the best location for panoramic views, but the background of the high-rise buildings in the distance is really impossible to avoid.
