Hurry up! The best viewing period for Pink Muhly Grass at Shanghai Binjiang Forest Park

Shanghai’s autumn romance is hidden in the sea of pink flowers at Binjiang Forest Park! The 32,000-square-meter Pink Muhly Grass is at its peak viewing period, with layers of “pink mist” gently swaying in the wind. This once-a-year beautiful scene—plan your trip now~ 🌸 Highlights: Why you must go? • Outstanding scale: The Pink Muhly Grass planting area in Phase II Flower Valley is comparable to four standard football fields. This year, the sowing density increased by 20%, making the pink color richer and fuller, offering an excellent visual experience. • Rich scenery: Surrounding the Pink Muhly Grass sea are multiple surprises—red spider lilies blooming on the slopes and sunflowers facing the sun. You can capture a fairy-tale scene with “sunflowers + pink muhly + blue sky” in one frame. When the river breeze blows, the pink flower waves ripple, creating a full atmosphere. • Free treasure: No admission fee is required to enter the park and enjoy the scenery, offering great value. When tired from walking, you can also explore multiple supporting scenic spots within the park for a rich experience. 📸 Photo tips: Golden spots + shooting techniques Must-visit spots 1. North slope of Flower Valley: The terrain is lower here, and at sunset, the light just falls on the flower spikes. Shooting from above creates an immersive feeling surrounded by a pink sea of clouds, with a gentle and healing image. 2. Corner of the Binjiang riverside trail: A natural framing structure that captures the layers of pink muhly, blue sky, and river surface simultaneously, making photos more three-dimensional and textured. 3. Both sides of the rainbow track: The contrast between the pink flower sea and the colorful path is eye-catching. Capture dynamic shots while running for a lively and photogenic effect. 4. Around the wooden cabin: Use the cabin as a background for close-up shots, freezing the gentle moment of fingers brushing the flower spikes, full of storytelling. Shooting tips • Time choice: 8-10 AM offers soft light and fewer visitors, making for a better shooting experience; 40 minutes before sunset, the light is low, and the pink muhly shows an elegant rose gold color, creating an amazing atmosphere. • Outfit suggestions: Light-colored dresses like off-white, light pink, and apricot are best matched, paired with accessories like straw hats and woven bags to further enhance the photo’s atmosphere. • Civilized shooting: Pink muhly grass spikes are delicate and fragile. Stepping into the flower fields is strictly prohibited. Using perspective tricks, you can still capture the dense visual effect of the flower sea. 🚗 Transportation & Practical Tips (Avoid Pitfalls) • Transportation: For driving, navigate directly to “Shanghai Binjiang Forest Park Phase II Area C Parking Lot.” Parking fee is 20 RMB/day. Enter from the east gate for the closest access to the flower sea. For public transport, take Metro Line 6 to Gangcheng Road Station, then transfer to Waigaoqiao Route 1, or take Metro Line 10 to Shuangjiang Road Station, then transfer to Pudong Route 95. • Best time: The flowering period is expected to last until mid-November and is currently at its golden viewing period. It is recommended to visit on weekdays first; if traveling on weekends, be sure to arrive before 9 AM to avoid peak tourist groups. • Notes: Pets are prohibited in the park; the mountain area has a large temperature difference between day and night, so even if visiting in the afternoon, it is recommended to bring a light jacket; there is a lot of walking on the trails around the flower sea, so comfortable flat shoes are advised. 🌟 Nearby Unlock: Food & Sightseeing Recommendations • Nearby scenery: From the flower sea, you can walk to the Metasequoia forest and see the dappled sunlight through the branches; head to the riverside to check in at the white lighthouse for a Kenting-style vibe; in the evening, watch the sunset glow at the Li Canal corridor for a very relaxing experience. • Rest & refresh: Passing through the flower sea leads to “One Chi Garden,” an old house with blue tiles and white bricks full of charm. Order a cup of coffee with dessert and enjoy a leisurely slow time. This is the best growth stage for the pink muhly now. Later, the flower heads will gradually droop, affecting the viewing effect! Take advantage of the good weather, invite your girlfriends to this pink fairyland, and capture your exclusive romantic autumn moments~
