🏟️ Step into History at the 90-Year-Old Jiangwan Stadium, Shanghai’s Republic-Era Sports Landmark

#chinatravel Built in 1935 as part of the ambitious “Greater Shanghai Plan,” the Old Shanghai Municipal Stadium—now Jiangwan Stadium—is one of China’s earliest large-scale sports venues. It’s hosted major national events like the Far Eastern Championship Games and National Games, and even served as a military base during WWII. With its unique 牌楼-style grandstands, bronze tripods, red-brick walls, and mosaic-tiled pools, the stadium blends modernist sports function with traditional Chinese motifs. A true hidden gem where architecture, history, and sports heritage meet. 📍 346 Guohe Road, Yangpu | 🆓 Free entry 🕒 Open all day (track 6:00–22:00) | 🚇 Line 10 Jiangwan Stadium Exit 12, 150m walk 🗺️ Just 800m from the Old Shanghai Library #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
