Shanghai Botanical Garden! A hidden forest secret in the city center

Who would have thought! Finding a natural oxygen bar in the heart of Shanghai where you can take deep breaths of fresh air~ As you enter the garden, you are surrounded by lush greenery, ancient trees with dense branches and leaves, sunlight filtering through the foliage creating dappled shadows, clear rivers gently flowing, and the air filled with refreshing negative oxygen ions. Taking a deep breath feels like a healing experience for both body and mind! No need to specifically look for photo spots; just a few steps anywhere reveals pristine natural beauty, perfect for those wanting to escape the city's hustle and bustle~ 💡 Practical tips: 1. Enter through Gate 3: Not far in, you'll find large green spaces and rivers, ideal for those who want to camp on the grass 2. Enter through Gate 2: Leads directly to the arboretum and riverside trails, fewer people and beautiful scenery, with the strongest forest vibe 3. Picnic Tips: Be sure to bring a picnic mat! Settle down on the large lawn near the arboretum, with your back to the trees and facing the greenery for maximum comfort; remember to bring some snacks and water, and take your trash with you 4. Outfit suggestion: Wear light-colored or forest-style clothes, which match perfectly with the green background and make your photos look fresher (I’m a negative example) 5. Best time: Recommended before 10 AM or after 3 PM, when the light is soft and not too sunny, plus you can avoid crowds If you don’t want to be squeezed by crowds during the holidays, come here to immerse yourself in nature~ No long journey needed, just enjoy a slow-paced, healing time✨
