Car Expo Park
Car Expo Park is a complex fusing entertainment, culture and a display of cars. The park is shaped somewhat like a car and is designed to blend in with nature.
The park features various gardens with styles of China, Japan, Italy and America. The Chinese garden has peony, camellia and Chinese rose flowers. Likewise, an American pavilion represents the scenery in the Yellowstone National Park. The park is a great place to visit on holidays and weekends. It is also possible to take a boat ride on the river or enjoy a picnic lunch.

EVZONE test drive center
The EVZONE test drive center is a platform for test drive, exhibition and promotion of electric cars and its technology.
Just bring along your driver's license for the chance to test drive a new-energy automobile.
Choose from a Volvo, Chevrolet, Roewe and BYD. You will find there is little difference in driving a new-energy automobile compared to an ordinary car. The biggest difference is that new-energy vehicles are much quieter than gasoline powered ones.

Shanghai Car Museum
Designed by the Germany-based firm IFB, the museum is shaped like an opened book, a metaphor of knowledge and culture hidden in the cars.
On the first floor, the museum features nearly 20 classic cars, revealing the history of cars developed in the world. There is a replica of a colored bronze horse cart from the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) inside a window, which is quite eye-catching.
In the center of the exhibition hall there is a duplicate of the first Mercedes-Benz and the first Red Flag Car made in China.
The hall on the second floor displays nearly 40 vintage cars with around 20 famous brands. It is said each car was purchased for a large sum of money.
The third floor gives visitors basic car information and has interactive activities for youngsters. The multimedia explanation is detailed enough to satisfy curious automobile enthusiasts.
