People’s Square 人民广场
People's Square (Ren Min Guang Chang) is a vast public square surrounded by government buildings. Before 1949 the Square was used as a course to race horses. After the Communist government came into play when betting and gambling was banned, a part of the course became the People's Square, used for spectator stands. During the 1990's the Shanghai Municipal Government building and the Shanghai Museum were moved out of their original buildings. One of the newest additions in the Square is the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. 
Other features include a 320-square-meter water fountain, subway station and an underground shopping mall. Because the square attracts many people, it makes an ideal venue for people watching. The People's Square has become an outstanding landmark in Shanghai due to its geographical conditions and governmental developing plan of Shanghai.
