90% ventured to the Gongqing Forest to photograph hydrangeas, regretting not having perused this guide earlier.

This year, Gongqing Forest Park boasts two Hydrangea venues! Surprisingly, many are unaware!!! To ensure you don't miss out and capture satisfying shots, I've swiftly compiled a guide to share with you all. Seize the current blooming season and head there! . 🗺As per the official map: A - Hydrangea Theme Park, B - New Hydrangea Theme Park. Both A and B are conveniently located along the same route. 🧭Mobile navigation after entering the park: Hydrangea Garden. 👣Route: Enter from the west gate of the park, proceed straight to the first fork, turn right and continue along the main road to reach. 💌Maps & real-life route images will be included in the notes for your reference. . Photo Spot 1⃣️: B - New Hydrangea Theme Park. 🧭Navigation: Floral Art Pavilion, ideal for portraits. ▫️The hydrangea sea here is planted on a slope, perfect for portraits with convenient composition. ▫️The iconic winding stone path of Gongqing, easily produces stunning shots. ▫️Shoot from the main road. ▫️Circle around and shoot from the slope. ▫️There's a Chinese-style porch, perfect for ancient costume shots. ▫️Sit on the tree on the slope. . Photo Spot 2⃣️: A - Hydrangea Theme Park. 🧭Navigation: Hydrangea Garden, ideal for landscape shots. ▫️European-style garden design with an observation deck for panoramic views. ▫️Due to the European layout, it's not as good for portraits as B, but it has many adorable elements. ▫️The star of the super popular Monet Garden in April, the little deer, was attracted here by the hydrangeas. ▫️Besides the deer, there are also rabbits and a violin-shaped landscape. ▫️In addition to the common Endless Summer, there are many special varieties of hydrangeas to admire. ▫️Some hydrangeas have already withered (although I think they're still beautiful), so hurry if you want to check-in. . 📍Gongqing Forest Park, Shanghai. 🎫Free entry, no reservation required. 🕗Near the west gate 5:00-19:30. 🚇Line 8, Shiguang Road Station, exit 1.
