Recently, my WeChat Moments have been flooded with photos of the Monet Garden at Gongqing Forest Park. After visiting, I found that the Monet Garden in autumn is simply stunning! It's colorful and vibrant, 🌼🌼 much more beautiful than in spring. The difference is like a thousand times! ✅ The park's wonderful creativity A while ago, a typhoon hit, and many trees were blown down.

The chrysanthemum exhibition runs from October 26 to November 26. ✅ Tips for visiting the park: 1️⃣ The best time to take photos in the Monet Garden is before 10:00 am or after 3:00 pm. The light is soft, like a veil over the garden, and the photos are beautiful! 🤳 2️⃣ There is a patch of foxtail grass near the bird-watching corridor, which is a great place to take photos! Every photo could be a wallpaper! 3️⃣ There are many great spots near the Wind and Rain Bridge to capture the reflection of trees on the water, and the view is amazing! 😎 ✅ Tickets: Free! Isn't that great? ✅ Opening hours: West Gate 5:00 am–7:30 pm, other entrances 5:00 am–6:00 pm. ✅ Transportation: Take bus 102, 124, or 147 to get there directly.

I have worked hard to sort out several recommended shooting Point - I strongly recommend that you must go there in your life. If you don't go, you are not a human being (slightly exaggerated rhetoric) - Navigation "Electric Carousel": Next to the carousel, red maple and amusement park match Navigation "Lotus Water Pavilion": including the water forest wetland, a large area of ​​gradient red maple, and ginkgo trees next to the Lotus Water Pavilion. It is so beautiful that you can take as many photos as you want. I almost can't leave this place 3 Navigation "Songtao Valley": Ginkgo, there are fallen leaves, but you can still take pictures. There are many colorful colors near this place, so you can stop and take pictures. Navigation "Taosheng Bridge" - "Liufang Bridge": You can walk here from "Songtao Valley". The whole piece of tall red maples is amazing. You can come here first when you come in from the north gate. It is very photogenic. Navigation "Sanlianlin": Ginkgo trees next to the river, some of them have fallen, but you can still take pictures Navigation "Yokohama Shanghai Friendship Forest": It should be near here, there is a tall ginkgo tree, a great view 7 Navigation "Flower Art Exhibition Hall": Next to Monet's Garden, there are scattered red maples.

#falltrip #shanghai #familytrip #nature It was my first time visiting Shanghai when my husband and I decided to visit the park far from the city center. It is difficult to find a magestic and quiet place like this in a big city, and it reminded me of home, a small town in Russia surrounded by forest. The park is very special because it gives a sense of peace and unity with nature in the overpopulated concrete jungle.🙃

⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: No. 2000, Jingong Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai 🚗Transportation Guide: There is no subway, the bus stop is Forest Park Station, it is best to drive or take a taxi 🕙Opening hours: 06:00———17:00 💰Ticket price: The ticket is 15 yuan, free of charge recently 🌟Highlights: 1⃣️The greening is absolutely good, the forest at the entrance is simply the most beautiful oxygen! Going into the forest from the small road, there is an immediate feeling of being 'ambushed on all sides'. 2⃣️We went on Saturday, free admission, it is recommended that camping friends arrive before 11 o'clock, you can still find a place, after 12 o'clock, not only there is no place for camping, there is no place for parking. The same goes for friends who take a taxi, the road conditions near the Forest Park will be very congested. 3⃣️If you have photography needs, you can bring your own props, but now there are many beautiful scenes set up with the chrysanthemum theme! 4⃣️The park is quite large, the play time is at least one hour, but I sincerely recommend to visit, breathe the fresh air of nature. 📌Small Tips: The air in the morning is better than in the afternoon

Metro Line 8 to Shiguang Road, then get a cab or take Bus

#Mainland China Attractions #Shanghai #Outing Although Gongqing Forest Park is located in the suburbs, it is very close to Nenjiang Station on Railway Line 8, making it very convenient for sightseeing. Admission is still free now, so it is highly recommended to everyone! The forest park is very large and can be visited for 1-2 days. I took a walk along the trail, which was lined with tall trees. Walking along the trail, you will reach the lake area. On a windless day, the lake surface will reflect the trees and people. When you reach the center of the lake, you can rent a boat and go boating on the lake. When I visited the Forest Park, it was the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. The large lawn by the lake turned into a sea of ​​pink cherry blossoms. There are also camping and barbecue areas in the forest, and you can choose to spend a night in the forest. Definitely recommended for nature lovers!

Yesterday, the weather was great, so I went to the Gongqing Forest Park alone to enjoy some alone time. The park was filled with February orchids, the purple-leaved plum trees were in full bloom, and the Yoshino cherry trees had yet to bloom. The sun was warm, the air was fresh, and it was quiet all around. I even saw a little squirrel not far away. I brought Sanmao's "The Story of the Sahara" and read it for a long time. I recommend bringing a picnic mat and some snacks, drinks, and fruits. It's perfect for spending some peaceful time here with family and friends. Of course, don't forget to clean up before leaving!

Getting There - I cycled about 1.5 hours to get there from my hotel but Metro Line 8 gets to a station close by. Stop at the end of the line 8 - Shiguang road and cycle or walk (20 mins plus+) to the park.. or better yet, stop at the Xiangyin station and take a bus 102 to get closer to the park.. It is worth it.. Attractions - If you like nature... then this is definitely a must - see.. They also have loads of activities like horseback riding, canoeing, amusement park with rides for kids and adults.. football pitch, an area for picnics... Awesome for a day getaway from city hassle... Food - A lot of stores within the park to get water, ice cream, crisps and some typical Chinese finger snacks.. Address - 上海市-杨浦区-军工路2000号 #themeparks#nationalpark

Getting There - recommended by car or Line 8 to SHIguang and call a taxi later Attractions - It's the best season for Hydrangea blooming in May. At that time the place is like a wonderland. Bring your camera and catch this fantastic moment! There are also a few amusement facilities in the park. A good place for family or friend gatherings. Food & Restaurants - there are some small shops in the park, but few restaurant in the park or nearby.

I hereby declare Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park as my spiritual home. The weather in Shanghai has been amazing recently, and many flowers are in full bloom in Gongqing. The vibrant scenery of spring is beautiful, perfect for photos and leisurely strolls!! Today's temperature is perfect for a light sweatshirt and a jacket. Taking photos in a dress at noon is also doable (today's breeze is gentle). However, there's still a temperature difference between day and night, so bring warm clothes if you plan to stay longer. You can bring some snacks and water, although there are many small shops in Gongqing. Next month, I plan to bring a picnic mat and lie on the grass to bask in the sun.

#上海樱花 The cherry blossoms in Gongqing Forest Park have completely entered their best viewing period, and they are breathtakingly beautiful! ! The cherry trees in that area are close to each other, with clusters of flowers. The density is so high that it seems as if the entire spring is condensed in this area. Any random shot will be a blockbuster. Walk further in and you will see a large lawn with sunlight shining through the lush cherry trees, creating mottled shadows. Find a place to spread out a picnic mat and enjoy a relaxing picnic under the cherry trees. Isn’t this the spring romance you dream of?🌸 Little tips✨ It is strongly recommended that you arrive before 10 am on weekdays or weekends, otherwise there will be so many people that you won’t be able to find a good spot to take photos. It’s full of people. In addition, the poppies in the nearby "Dongmen Flower Sea" area are also in full bloom, and they are so gorgeous. If you miss it this time, you will have to wait another year! While the spring weather is just right, hurry up and grab the tail end of spring and go to Gongqing Forest Park to experience this pink romance!
