Start a cultural journey during the Spring Festival and check in at Guangfulin - the root of Shanghai

The Guangfulin Site is a Neolithic site, formerly known as Huangfulin. It fills the gap in the cultural lineage of the late Neolithic period in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and was announced as the seventh batch of "National Protection" in 2013. First there was Songjiang Prefecture, then there was Shanghai. If you want to trace your roots in Shanghai, you must first explore Songjiang. The history of Songjiang began with Guangfulin. 🌈Highlights: ✅Guangfulin Cultural Museum: Half of the museum is above water and half is submerged, bringing a shocking visual impact. Through the scene designs such as the archaeological memory of Guangfulin and the evolution of Shanghai's formation, you can experience and read Shanghai in the time tunnel. ✅Fulin Tower: A popular check-in landmark, every shot you take is a blockbuster. ✅Jixianfang: Feel the bookish atmosphere of the literati and scholars of all dynasties here, which has a unique charm. There are also many check-in spots in the scenic area, such as the Chen Zilong Memorial Hall, Bone Needle Square, Ancient Pottery Art Museum, and Wood Art Heritage Exhibition Hall, so you can spend a whole day there without any pressure. ✅Pray in temples: Guan Gong Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Zhiye Zen Temple and other temples, with red walls and green trees, the Zen temple itself is a landscape. You can worship Buddha and pray for blessings, and feel the waves of sandalwood, which are solemn and peaceful, making you forget the troubles of the world in an instant. ✅Duoyun Academy: It is located in an old Hui-style house of 1,600 square meters with three courtyards. The books here focus more on traditional culture, and there are many inscriptions on bronze and stone. If you are tired, you can have a cup of coffee and get cloud-shaped marshmallows for free. ✅Commercial facilities: It has everything you need for food, entertainment and accommodation. It is very large, with various buildings and charming scenery. During the Spring Festival holiday, there is a festive and peaceful atmosphere. There will be no crowds, so you can bring your family to enjoy the leisure time. 🎫Tickets: 0 yuan, some attractions require additional tickets 🚗Transportation: Take Metro Line 9, get off at Songjiang University Town Station, and transfer to Songjiang Bus No. 98, Songjiang Bus No. 15, Songjiang Bus No. 96, etc.
