Shanghai's Best Kept Secret! The Ultimate Spring Route in Gongqing Forest Park – Don't Miss It!

Help! I've discovered a stunning route hidden in Shanghai's Gongqing Forest Park that will blow up your social media! Exquisite and compact, this 1.5 km trail is bursting with spring romance. Follow this route now and dive headfirst into Monet's world of oil paintings! Entering through the West Gate at 2000 Jungong Road is key! Head straight for "Sky Flower Field" upon entering, and be instantly amazed by the scene before you – wooden windmills turn leisurely, and colorful flower fields undulate like waves. The sea of flowers composed of petunias and Iceland poppies is simply a real-life replica of Monet's "Tulip Fields in Holland"! Every step feels like stepping into a three-dimensional palette, and every shot is worthy of a magazine cover. Sisters who love taking photos won't find an hour enough here! Strolling along the route to the "Swan Lake Lawn," you'll understand what it means to lie down in Monet's water lily pond! Lie in the center of the lawn and shoot upwards, with the blue sky, white clouds, windmills, and reflections in the lake merging into one. In the interplay of light and shadow, it's as if you've stepped into the soft and beautiful artistic conception of "Water Lilies." Let me secretly tell you a hidden spot: the mirror wall by the lake is amazing! Take photos with your phone close to the ground, and the combination of reality and illusion will make it seem like you've opened a parallel universe, creating super artistic blockbusters in minutes. Here comes the highlight! The spring-limited flower boat at "Swan Pier" is only on display until May 5! When the floral sailboat is quietly moored in the Swan Pond, perfectly blending the essence of Monet's five sailboat-themed paintings, with the hull covered in flowers and reflected in the sparkling lake, isn't this a shocking scene leaping from the canvas into reality? Standing on the shore, any random shot is a spring harbor blockbuster that can amaze your social circle! This route takes only 20 minutes to walk, but it condenses the most essential spring scenery of Gongqing Forest Park. It is recommended to reserve 2 hours for taking photos and slowly feel the unique charm of each scenery. Whether you want to take atmospheric photos or simply enjoy the romance and tranquility of spring, it can satisfy you! 📍Address: 2000 Jungong Road (be sure to enter from the West Gate for the shortest route to Swan Pond!) ⏰Flowering Period & Flower Boat Exhibition Period: The flowering period of Sky Flower Field and Swan Lake Lawn is until May 5, and the flower boat arrangement at Swan Pier is also only until May 5! ✨Reminder: It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes, which go better with the sea of flowers and lake view; go early to avoid the crowds and enjoy exclusive spring romance! Everyone, don't hesitate this Labor Day! The limited romance of Gongqing Forest Park is really worth waiting a year for if you miss it! Follow this route to check in and let Monet's oil paintings become a part of your spring memories. Just go for it!
