26 files • 24 bit/96 kHz • 4.1 GB • 80 minWe recorded this sound library across Shanghai’s public parks, botanical gardens, riverfront promenades, and urban green spaces, exploring the quieter side of one of the world’s busiest cities. From The Bund and Suzhou Creek to Columbia Circle and neighborhood parks, these recordings reveal the contrast between natural environments and the constant activity of the surrounding city. You’ll hear birds singing above distant traffic, people chatting and strolling along riverside paths, children playing, joggers passing by, and gentle wind moving through the trees.
The collection also features frogs and crickets calling on warm summer evenings, passing boats and diesel ship engines along the waterways, and the distant sounds of vehicle horns and highway traffic. Several recordings were made during and after light rain, adding subtle details such as water dripping from vegetation and surrounding structures, umbrellas moving through the parks, and the distinctive atmosphere of the city after a shower. With a variety of daytime, evening, and nighttime recordings, this library offers an authentic soundscape of Shanghai’s parks and green spaces, where birdsong, urban ambience, waterfront activity, and everyday life blend together.
Ideal for films, documentaries, video games, podcasts, and sound design projects requiring authentic Chinese city ambience, urban nature recordings, riverside environments, park atmospheres, and the distinctive sounds of Shanghai.
