The magical part of this park is that from the outside it looks like a park, but in the inside there is something out of your imagination – it’s a matchmaking hub!
Walking into the park, you’ll find sheets of CVs on the floor, on paper boards or even on top of bushes. Looking closer, written on there are personal details like age, height and criteria for choosing a partner, which turn out to be a channel for singles to find their ideal spouse. How interesting!
What is more special is that the people standing there are not the seeker himself/herself, but their parents or the agent. If a random young person approaches, they will be super curious and will keep asking you questions!
Key recommendation: Matchmaker – Professor Dong
There are also consultation desks at different corners of the park where “professors” station there to offer professional advice for single person or parents. On the banners, you will even see the matchmakers’ success rates and slogans like “No match, no charge”.
If you find it fun, why not visit People’s Park when you travel to Shanghai next time. For singles, you can also consider drafting your personal CV or consulting the professors –there may be unexpected gains!
