Things to do in China- Peoples Square 人民广场 Rénmín guǎngchǎng Peoples Square Prior to 1949 and the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China, what is now Peoples Square was a course for horse racing owned by the Shanghai Race Club. After gambling and horse racing were banned by the new Communist government, a part of the race course became the Peoples Square, which included a large avenue and spectator stands for use during parades.In the 1990s, major changes were made to the square. The Shanghai Municipal Government was moved here from the former HSBC Building on the Bund, also the Shanghai Museum was moved here from its previous site in a former office building. More recent additions include the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. Other parts of the race course still remain. The clubhouse buildings became the Shanghai Art Museum, while part of the race track became Peoples Park, a public park to the north of Peoples Square. 在1949年新中国建立以前，人民广场是属于上海跑马总会拥有的。之后新的政府取缔了赌博赛马，其中的一部分就成了人民广场。有一条很宽的道路可以用于游行时使用。在20世纪90年代，这个广场有了很大的变化。上海市委政府从原外滩的汇丰银行大楼移到了这里。上海博物馆也从之前的地址搬到了这里。最近又增加了上海大剧院和上海城市规划馆。其他的部分还是保留的。原有的俱乐部变成了上海艺术馆。而赛道的一部分，成为了人民公园，一个公共的公园在人民广场北面。 Park 公园 Gōngyuán Government 政府 Zhèngfǔ Square 广场 guǎng chǎng Provided by: iMandarin Shanghai Xintiandi Campus Tel:021 3308 0508
