This was one of the first places I went after Shanghai’s long lockdown, and it felt amazing to just stretch my legs in the sunshine and surrounded by nature. There was an incredible vibe here too, the park was filled with life: people jogging, having picnics with friends, playing frisbee, bird-feeding sitting by the lake or lying on shaded grassy areas with a book. Spanning around 340 acres of land, Century Park makes for a great afternoon out on a sunny day. Whether you’re looking to go for a leisurely stroll and catch up with a friend, a snack-filled picnic, a long run or to admire the flora and fauna, there’s plenty of room and opportunity to do so. The park is split into several areas: a scenic lakeside area, a forest landscape area, a nature reserve, folk village and more. As per regulations following the latest lockdown in Shanghai, you will need to show a green QR code and a negative pcr result from the last 72 hours in order to get into the park. How to get there: From downtown Shanghai, take line 2 and take Exit 1 at Century Park Station. There are numerous gates through which you can enter the park. #createwithtrip

Plum blossom season is here, and there's no better place to admire them than Shanghai's Century Park.

Its peaceful atmosphere and springlike scenery also make it the perfect place for photography enthusiasts to capture the essence of the season.

Don't bother with travel home door also have a color called "autumn"... waited for a season, finally received Gaston Luga this white classic backpack, although Summer has passed. So, I put a heavy SLR and a 14-inch Mac in a backpack, releasing light hands to embrace the fall; so I have a favorite white backpack that can match the depth of autumn and winter. Color clothing; so, I can carry Gaston Luga on the horizon. . . Simple, stylish and generous Swedish classic bag adds a comfortable white to the autumn.

In Century Park, you can not only enjoy plum blossoms, but also picnics, cycling and other activities, as well as lakes for fishing. It is a good place for dogs and babies. There are more people on weekends. It is recommended to go to the morning or later, and you can't enter the park at around 6 pm, so don't be too late. I am willing to live next to the park. I have nothing to do. I walked in the park every three or five times. Is this a normal life, is it not the longing life of people who are on the road every day?

#cherryblossom25 This weekend, with Shanghai's temperature hitting 30°C, early cherry blossoms 🌸 are beginning to bloom, but the real star is still the plum blossoms. While Century Park is super crowded, I visited a quieter, less-known spot that offers a stunning collection of rare plum varieties like weeping and dragon plums. 🌿✨ Key Spots to Visit: Meiyuan (Plum Garden) and Anxiang Pavilion: These are the highlights of the park for plum blossom viewing.

#springwander Spring in Shanghai is a season of renewal, where the city’s modern skyline meets the soft beauty of blooming flowers. As the air turns crisp and the days grow longer, the parks transform into peaceful retreats filled with cherry blossoms, magnolias, and the gentle hum of nature awakening. One of my favorite places to experience spring is Century Park, the largest park in Shanghai. Walking along the tree-lined paths, I was greeted by the sight of sakura trees in full bloom, their delicate pink petals fluttering in the breeze. The lake shimmered under the soft sunlight, while couples rowed boats across the tranquil waters. Families gathered for picnics, enjoying the fleeting beauty of the season. Not far away, Gucun Park was a dreamlike scene of cherry blossom tunnels, where every step felt like walking through a pink-hued wonderland. The petals rained down like confetti, and the air was filled with the subtle fragrance of spring. I couldn’t resist stopping for a matcha latte at a nearby café, sipping slowly as I soaked in the peaceful atmosphere. As the afternoon glow settled over Yuyuan Garden, the blend of traditional Chinese architecture and fresh spring blooms created an enchanting contrast. The koi ponds reflected bursts of pink and white, and the sound of a guzheng being played in the distance made the moment even more magical. Spring in Shanghai is more than just a season—it’s a feeling of serenity, renewal, and beauty in every corner. If you ever visit, take a moment to slow down and let the blossoms lead your way. #SpringInShanghai #BlossomsAndBreeze #CherryBlossomMagic #ShanghaiParks #NatureEscape #SereneMoments #SakuraSeason

I went to Century Park and I have to say that it was amazing during a sunny day. You can spend there 3 to 4 hours easily, the park is HUGE. My favorite things were hiring an electrical boat to tour around the big lake to enjoy the views and the Sakura Garden (but it was very crowded). You can also hire a bike to get around or check out their attractions park, which is great if you have kids. #centurypark #shanghai #attraction #travel

Cherry blossom season in Shanghai I'll cry if anyone misses Century Park. There are all kinds of cherry blossoms, white as snow, pink as clouds. They're everywhere – along the roads, by the lake, and near the small bridges. The trees are a bit tall though, so it's not easy to get a good photo, and it's super crowded. The light is too strong at noon; it's more beautiful to take photos before evening.

Along the gently sloping plank road, the heights are staggered, which is very suitable for taking pictures. 💜There are also February orchids planted in the woods next to it.

I went to Shanghai for a three-day weekend in late February. The plum garden in Century Park, located right in front of the hotel where I stayed, was starting to bloom here and there. It seems they'll be in full bloom in another week or two, so for those visiting Shanghai in the future, this may be the perfect time to see them. The park is very large, and is perfect for a morning stroll. I went just as it was getting dark, so the lanterns were very beautiful. The cold in Shanghai is gradually easing up. I'd like to return in the spring.

The early spring at the end of February already has a warm sun of 20 degrees, which is the best time for an outing to enjoy plum blossoms. The moment you step into Century Park in Pudong, Shanghai, the fragrance of plum blossoms announces the arrival of spring. This 140-hectare urban green lung is now showcasing a poetic scene with plum blossoms covering the area like胭脂白雪 (rouge and white snow). Walking along the winding forest avenue, you can see the curved plum branches slanting out from the dark green metasequoia forest, like cinnabar brushstrokes in a landscape painting. ❗Plum Blossom Viewing Time The plum blossoms are already eighty percent in bloom, and now is the most beautiful time. Before mid-March, go, go, go💥 🌟Recommended Route: ✔️Enter from Entrance 1 on Century Avenue, and you will be greeted by the lakeside viewing area of Mirror Lake. Walk counterclockwise along the lake under the shade of the trees. On one side of the lake is a rare food street, adding to the plum blossom festival. ✔️After passing the Grand Fortune Restaurant, you will see a large area of wintersweet. The wintersweet is already fading, but the plum blossoms next to it are in full bloom. ✔️The scenic forest area between Gate 1 and Gate 7 is the best place to view plum blossoms now. Along the way, there are plum exploring areas, fragrant snow paths, and plum blossom exhibition areas. The four characters "Century Plum Garden" on the large stone tablet are only visible during this season when the plum blossoms are at their peak. ✔️The most recommended spot is the large plum grove in front of the One Foot Garden lawn. People are spreading mats and setting up tents on the lawn, enjoying the first warm day of the Snake Year and the plum blossom feast. 🔥Features of Plum Blossom Viewing at Century Park 1⃣️The entire sea of fragrant snow is composed of thousands of Gongfen and Lve plum blossoms interwoven into flowing ribbons of color. The red ones are like clouds falling to the ground, and the white ones are like fresh snow on the branches. 2⃣️The most captivating are the two-colored plum blossoms. One branch has pink and white gradient petals, while another branch is the crimson of a young girl's cheek. Different vibrant colors appear on the same plum blossom tree, creating a dazzling display. 3⃣️In the scenic forest area, the fusion of plum blossoms and forest reaches its peak. Tall trees leave small paths and swaying shadows, forming a canopy for the plum groves in the distance. Varying shades of emerald green are interspersed among the elegant plum blossoms, or a red cloud appears faintly in the vast expanse of green. 📝Tips: Even on working days, there are so many "dayis" (older women). There are also all kinds of selfies and live streams.
