This paper aims to compare two processes of fusion in design-the fusion between French and Chinese landscape styles and that between English and Chinese landscape styles-via a comparison of the facilities and transformations in Fuxing Park and Zhongshan Park, Shanghai. The period studied includes the period of concessions (Period I ) and that of the Peoples Republic of China (Period II ). Through a literature survey tracing the development of the facilities and features and quantitative analysis based on the plan drawings of elements such as hills, water bodies, flowerbeds, lawns, architectural installations, and pathways, this paper describes a comparison of the facilities and transformations in the two parks. Conclusions: (1)As former settlement parks, both have a diverse landscape style, because of the eclectic landscape style popular in the 1920s. (2)As modern Chinese parks in the stage before the Cultural Revolution and the stage after Economic Reform, both parks developed recreation facilities with Chinese elements. (3)In Period II, Zhongshan Park made more changes to its English style landscaping facilities than Fuxing Park made to its French style landscaping facilities; thus, the increase in Chinese style landscaping features was more marked in Zhongshan Park than in Fuxing Park.
