The 2026 Shanghai International Flower Festival will run from April 18 to May 10. As one of the festival's sub-venues, Putuo District will present five distinctive locations including public green spaces, parks and commercial areas, each telling its own story of blooming flowers.

Northeast and northwest corners of Daduhe Road and Wuning Road

Two flower beds here face the Beijing-Shanghai and Shanghai-Nanjing expressway entry points, serving as the "first view" for many vehicles entering the city. The festival design uses framed floral art as a theme, featuring dry creek beds, flower belts and vine-woven ribbon landscapes on the two corners.

TOP Central Park

On the expansive lawn, patterned flower ribbons outline the image of the flower festival's mascot, "Flower Baby," creating a natural painting spread across the green space. In early May, the park's newly built water curtain fountain will be activated, with flower seas and the fountain complementing each other to add a new highlight.

Half-Marathon Suzhou Creek No. 2 Park 

The flower display here draws inspiration from classic Chinese porcelain patterns depicting koi fish swimming among lotus flowers. Strolling along the riverbank, visitors feel as if they have stepped into a blue-and-white porcelain painting, with the poetic scene of "fish playing among lotus leaves" unfolding before their eyes.

Changfeng Park

The star of Changfeng Park is the rose. In the park's rose garden, ground-planted roses will reach peak bloom during the flower festival. The main exhibition area at the Grand Stage Plaza will be transformed into a dreamy rose garden.

Hong Shou Fang

At Hong Shou Fang, natural beauty and the vibrant energy of daily life coexist harmoniously. Themed floral installations stand quietly in plazas and street corners, while a specialty flower market will open simultaneously. Several co-created floral arrangement workshops will also be held during the event.
