Propose relevant spots in Shanghai by Molly

The People’s Park is famous for its marriage market. Click the link to experience. I think we can probably record the marriage market from early morning till late night to see how the scale changes, how people interact, and maybe what are the reactions of passerby to our filming.

I’ve also background checked People’s Park and found out that before 1950, it originally was a racecourse. Then, the 1st mayor of Shanghai changed it into this park. It used to be famous for being an “English corner”. Starting from 2005, the place gradually turns into a grand marriage market (http://www.88621111.com/a/112506.html). The original text with more detail:

1950年9月7日,解放后上海市第一任市长陈毅代表市政府宣布将跑马厅的,南半半部建造为人民广场,北半部改造为人民公园,并亲自为公园题名。打开上海地图,人民公园几乎位于正中心。这里不仅是休闲绿化的场所,早些年以“英语角”著称,近几年则凭借“相亲角”声名远扬。而年轻人更爱公园里的现代,艺术馆和餐馆。
