Changfeng Park (长风公园), located in Putuo District, was completed and opened to the public on the National Day of 1959. It is one of the major parks with beautiful landscapes in Shanghai. It covers an area of 366,000 square meters, including a water area of 143,000 square meters. The park borrows the gardening style of the Summer Palace and the landscaping manipulation from Hangzhou and Suzhou. When building the park, people used the silt excavated from the Yinchu Lake to pile up the adjacent Tiebi Hill till 30 meters high, achieving two goals at once. The park is recently undergoning a significant renovation project. This large-scale transformation aims to enhance visitors' experiences and integrate the park better with modern city life. Therefore, the northern part of the park is currently closed for renovation.
The Waterfowl Pool (水禽湖), located south of Yinchu Lake, spans 2,000 square meters. Originally designed to breed waterfoul but never realized, it now features bamboo forests, red maples, and weeping willows, with two small islands in the center. The eastern shore boasts a hexagonal bamboo pavilion named Waterfowl Pavilion.
The GZ is a 1m*1m rock beside the Waterfowl Pool. From here, you can watch the Waterfowl Pavilion across the pool. The rock is full of hollows and gaps. The cache (a 5cm tube) is hidden in the top middle hollow on the GZ rock.
