[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Chongming Island National Geopark (Updated Jun)

Chongming Island is an alluvial island formed at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It began to appear around 600 AD, and after 1400 years it has grown to 80km x 15km, and is still growing today. It is about twice the size of Tokyo's 23 wards, and the third largest in China after Taiwan and Hainan Island. The Yangtze River is 6300km long, making it the third largest river in the world after the Nile and the Amazon. I am amazed at the scale of China. Chongming Island is an alluvial island, so the soil is fertile and the vegetables and fruits such as mandarins are delicious, and are recognized as the Chongming brand. It is also an island of longevity, and even though it is part of Shanghai, it is an island rich in nature that you would never think of as being in Shanghai. #Shanghai #China #ShanghaiTourism #ChongmingIsland #Vegetables #Mandarins #MandarinPicking

| It looks like a place straight out of a Hayao Miyazaki anime. Where to go in Shanghai for the weekend❓ Come to Chongming Island Xisha Wetland Park‼️ 🔖 Swaying reed fields, healing Metasequoia forest area, blue skies and white clouds with the quality of a Miyazaki film, all bring a sense of peace and romance. 📸 Recommended Check-in Spots 🔸 Metasequoia Forest Area: A green oxygen bar in summer, with beautiful reddish-brown metal buildings surrounded by Metasequoia trees. 🔸 Reed Fields: Lush green reed fields in summer, looking especially like scenes from a Miyazaki film, super healing. 🔸 Bird Watching Tower: A distinctive three-story circular building that looks like a lighthouse from a distance. 🔸 Tide Listening Platform: Recommended spot for sunset and tides, a place in Shanghai where you can see the 'seaside'. 🎢 Watch Metasequoia 🌲, see reed fields 🌾, listen to the tides 🌊, bird watching 🐦, catch crabs 🦀 Tips: 1️⃣ There is a small shop near the entrance of Xisha Wetland Park where you can buy water and supplies, but there are no supply points inside the park. 2️⃣ Xisha Wetland Park is adjacent to Xisha Mingzhu Lake Scenic Area, so don't park at the 'Mingzhu Lake Parking Lot', as the two scenic areas are managed independently. 3️⃣ If you visit Xisha Wetland Park in summer, remember to take outdoor sun protection and mosquito repellent measures. 4️⃣ There are many small crabs in the scenic area, so remember to bring a rope, a folding bucket, and fresh meat.

This is my Nth time camping on Chongming Island, and each time I'm here, I get to enjoy a variety of activities. Water sports in summer are the best! Kayaking and paddleboarding are the perfect match for camping! When playing in the water, it's recommended to wear soft, snug, and quick-drying sportswear for endless fun~ Cycling is so convenient with a mountain bike available at the campsite! No matter how large the area, shuttling back and forth is not a problem, and you can also enjoy cycling with friends around the area, which is super cool~ The 'durable' pants I wore today are extremely resistant to wear, so I'm not afraid of friction while cycling~ Flying kites: The wind on the island today is super strong, facing the headwind, the feeling of running and bouncing in the Da Chongming Island National Geopark is so stress-relieving~ DIY afternoon tea: A cup of homemade watermelon Yakult sparkling water is simply my happy antidote! With it, the joy of summer camping is back!! Floral art: Being immersed in the focus of handcrafting lets me forget all worries, leaving only the beauty of the present~ Singing bowl yoga: Today, there's also a professional yoga teacher teaching everyone outdoor breathing techniques, allowing the whole body and mind to enter a deep breathing state and feel the sensation of letting go Let's relax together! Have a happy weekend

Chongming Island, here I come! 🌄✨ The experience on the first day was absolutely fulfilling! However, the places I visited on the second day were not as worthwhile, so today I'm writing a guide on must-visit and avoid places for your reference! 💡💥 1⃣🌄Ding Dam🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We chose Liulangang Fisherman's Village, didn't go to the one in Baozhen, afraid of the crowd. Followed the guide and came here. Highly recommend visiting at sunset, it's super beautiful! 😍🌅 2⃣Yeshan Garden Hotel🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I even wrote a post specifically for this hotel! You can enjoy the beauty of the Japanese courtyard without leaving the hotel, and the service is also super good, really recommend it! 🏡🌸👌 3⃣Ice Cream Doll🌟 We went to the Sci-fi Forest Elf Island and found the Ice Cream Doll. This place is a bit off the beaten track, and besides the Ice Cream Doll, there's not much else. And the Ice Cream Doll looks quite cute online, but it's a bit creepy in reality. Originally went there to take pictures of the wind turbines, but ended up seeing the wind turbines but couldn't find a good photo spot. This check-in was not very successful. 😕🍦🌳 4⃣Sea Rose Hot Spring🌟🌟🌟 We came to the Sea Rose Hot Spring in Qianwei Village, Shuxin Town, Weijiu Road with great expectations. There were very few people, it felt like we had booked the whole place. Unfortunately, only a few outdoor hot springs were open, and they were mainly cold springs, with some leaves floating on top. The price was okay, the service was also okay, but I don't think I will go again. 😐🌊🌹 5⃣Mom's Workshop🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This restaurant is really delicious! Every dish we ordered was highly praised, no disappointments at all. And they also gave us Chongming cake, and the boss even gave us extra Chongming eggs! Next time I come to Chongming Island, I will definitely come here to eat again! 🍽👨‍🍳👍

There are warm sunshine, bird songs in the forest, and that piece of chasing light and shadow. In general, Chongming Homestay is a type of accommodation that can bring people a different experience.
