The former French Concession appears to have been the only large part of Shanghai where the streets already had
plentiful trees before the beautification program that began in the late 1990s. These trees, often called
plane trees (though I believe we were told that nomenclature is questionable) had been widely planted during
the period of French control.

Mail delivery slot.
Boxes for milk delivery.
This attractive little park at an intersection was a product of the recent beautification
campaign (note the props around the recently transplanted tree).
