Compared to West Lake, Monet Garden has a more unique charm

📸 Is there really a Monet Garden hidden in Shanghai?! 😍 Who understands! Compared to West Lake, I am more enamored with this Monet Garden that looks like an oil painting! Shanghai is truly stunningly beautiful! 🤩 In this city, there is a free park that looks like Monet Garden! It's incredibly beautiful! The flowers are blooming 🌸, it's breathtaking, and it's simply unparalleled! I'm really dizzy 😵! 📸 Shanghai Monet Park Travel Guide ❗ Don't miss it! 🚇 Transportation: - Take Metro Line 8 to Xiangyin Road Station, exit from Exit 2, and transfer to Bus 102. After 3 stops, you'll reach the south gate of Gongqing Forest Park 🚏; or take Metro Line 10 to Yingaodong Road Station, exit from Exit 4, and walk about 1 kilometer to the east gate of the park 🚶. - If driving, you can park at the south gate, where there are plenty of parking spaces 😜! 🎫 Ticket Guide: Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is now open for free 🆓, but remember to make a reservation in advance 😯! 🕰 Best Time to Visit: The best time to visit the park is from April to November 🤩, when the flowers are in full bloom and the scenery is stunning 😍! 📷 Photography Tips: - If you want to take magnificent scenery shots on the bridge, a wide-angle lens is the best choice 📷; for portrait shots, close-ups can better showcase personality and emotions 😘! - The security by the river is very responsible, and the warning line acts as a barrier to protect the flowers 🚧. However, some people can't resist the temptation of the beautiful scenery and cross the line to take photos 🤪. But you can still find relatively ideal spots, just remember to respect the natural environment and not damage the flower beds 😝! 🚶 Recommended Route: - Enter from the west gate, which is closest to the main attraction of the flower exhibition 😁. First, visit the newly returned "Monet Garden"; you can take the best shots from the small bridge 👀. Then, go to the nearby Camphor Square to check in at the popular Monet Flower Ladder, inspired by Monet's painting "Giverny Garden". The flower ladder is 8 meters long, like a waterfall of flowers, breathtakingly beautiful 😍, and definitely the hottest photo spot 🤳! - Enter from the south gate, you can first take photos at the "Nemo Garden" 🤳, where the flowers are artificial but still very beautiful 😜. Then, go to Camphor Square, and after checking in, head to the flower sea near the east gate, where there are tulips, Icelandic poppies, California poppies, and more, perfect for photos 🤩. The scenery by the river is also great, you can go early to grab a good spot for setting up a tent and enjoy the natural oxygen bar 😆! 🎉 Other Attractions: - Cherry Blossoms 🌸: It's currently the blooming season for hydrangeas, poppies, plums, February orchids, crabapples, and many other unknown varieties waiting for you to discover 🤩! - Oil Painting Forest Exhibition: In the park, there are many exquisite oil paintings on display, allowing you to feel the charm of art 😀! - Forest Mini Train 🚂: Very unique, it runs around the southern entertainment area, usually with long queues, and it's even more crowded on weekends 😅! - Park Boats: Electric boats cost 80 yuan/hour, manual rowing boats cost 50 yuan/hour, and a deposit is required for four people 😯! - Skating Rink and Football Field: Suitable for camping and family outings 🎉! - Horse Riding Field: There is a 4-meter wide, 300-meter long track where you can learn horse riding 😎! - Children's Playground: Tickets are 30 yuan, with activities like fishing, naughty castle, trampoline, and small slides, a favorite for kids 🎈! 📌 Notes: - If you can choose to go on weekdays, try to avoid weekends and holidays, otherwise, it will be too crowded 🤦!
