Shanghai Park Surabaya

I visited Shanghai Park in Surabaya on a Saturday evening, and honestly, it was one of those moments where the city suddenly feels a bit softer.
The park was a little crowded, but not in a stressful way. more like a calm Saturday night energy where people are just out to enjoy the evening. Families, couples, friends, everyone just hanging out, talking, and relaxing. It felt alive, but peaceful at the same time.
What really caught my attention was how the park looks after dark. The buildings around the park light up in such a beautiful way. it almost feels like the city is showing off. The lights gave the whole place a calm, almost magical vibe. I found myself just walking slowly, taking it all in, and enjoying how different everything looked compared to daytime.
And the best part? If you enjoy shopping or want to grab something to eat after your walk, there’s a huge modern mall right next to the park. It made the evening feel complete. a simple walk in the park followed by a nice meal or a quick shopping stop.

A Few Small Tips
Evening is the best time to visit. the lights are incredible
Weekends can be busy, but the vibe stays good
The mall next door makes it easy to continue the night
