Shanghai's newly popular, lesser-known park with endless summer hydrangea blooms comes with a guide
🧚♀️ In May in Shanghai, it's the season to enjoy the endless summer hydrangea sea! This time, I've discovered a lesser-known treasure, a free park with few people, where walking through the park is like stepping through a landscape of hydrangeas in full bloom! It's so picturesque that every casual photo looks amazing!
.
⛲️ This is Minhang's Tingcui Garden, which I actually didn't know about until now! It's connected to Xinzhuang Meiyuan, and the park features undulating lawns, a tranquil man-made lake, and a variety of plants! Few people and beautiful scenery!
.
💯 The park is really big, and the hydrangeas are mainly distributed in four areas, with colors like pink, purple, blue, etc. Here comes the guide for touring and taking photos!
.
👉 My tour route:
💕 Enter from the north gate of Xinzhuang Meiyuan - follow the trail straight ahead (turn right at the white bridge) to enter Tingcui Garden - on the right is the hydrangea spiral ramp - on the left is the hydrangea bridge - continue along the river to find the hydrangea trail - hydrangea lawn - Tree Frog Tribe
.
‼️Tips:
If driving, navigate to 'Xinzhuang Meiyuan Parking Lot', and walk to Xinzhuang Meiyuan, Tingcui Garden is inside the Meiyuan.
.
🧡 Hydrangea Spiral Ramp:
After entering, on the right side of the bridge, there is a winding ramp with lush blooms, but the area is not large. However, it's a nice spot for portrait photography.
.
🤎 Hydrangea Bridge:
After entering, on both sides of the bridge, within the Chunshen Flower Sea, this area is quite large, but there are quite a few trees that may block the view. The blooms here are not yet lush, but it's expected to be spectacular in a week.
.
💛 Hydrangea Trail:
This is near the hydrangea lawn, from the hydrangea bridge to the hydrangea lawn, you can see it along the way, a small hydrangea path where you can also walk and take photos.
.
💚 Hydrangea Lawn:
Walk straight along the river, near the Tree Frog Tribe, this area is super large with lush blooms, a large lawn, and small hills of varying heights. People can walk or sit here, and it's very suitable for portrait photography, giving a sense of being surrounded by hydrangeas.
‼️ Personal suggestion: if time is limited, head here first.

💙 Tree Frog Tribe
This is a children's playground, with a sandpit, climbing frame, slide, swing, etc., and next to the river, there's also a fairy-tale wooden house for a fun photo op.
