#Shanghai Yiqinyuan Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Shanghai Forest Getaway - How to Get there?
Getting There - Shenchong Bus at Wenshui Station (20 RMB)
Attractions - Forest Oxygen Bar, Lake, nearby Dongping National Forest Park and Flower Expo
Hotels - Yiqinyuan Resort
Food & Restaurants - La Foresta Cafe, Yiqinyuan Restaurant, Forest Tea Bar
We were expecting a four hour bus ride like last year but this time it took us half the time. So visit more often to Chongming!
Just go straight to Wenshui station Line 1 and find the Shenchong bus station. Get a ticket worth 20 rmb, free for children and board the bus. We took the cab to the resort that was about 65 rmb.
The peace and quite of nature was refreshing for hardworking mind and bodies.
Enjoy the food at their different restaurants.

La Foresta Cafe in Chongming
Address -Building 5 2089 Beiyan Highway Chongming
Ambiance/Facilities - Coffee Shop
Highlights - Coffee and nature
Avg. Price per Person - 100
Rating - 9/10
We were relocated to building 5 due to super cold weather, luckily we had La Foresta cafe in the same building.
It wasn't our first time to visit and we've never seen this side in our first visit so it was refreshing especially if you crave for western food being it the Christmas season.
La Foresta cafe didn't disappoint despite the long wait and mess up with ordering system. The food was tasty and fresh.
Try to visit in the afternoon where the sun is high and gleaming in the coffee shop.
Take a walk around the forest and enjoy!

Not being able to travel away from the city, Chongming Island was the closest destination that took us away from the hustle and bustle.
The accomodation included breakfast with a wide variety of local food. The restaurant also featured a good selection of fresh food good for big family gathering.
The La Foresta cafe at building 5 is easily accessible by an electric shuttle by request that comes in 3-5 minutes.
The stillness and serenity of walking through the forest trees was great to de-stress and connect to nature.

We couldn't travel home and figured we should go somewhere that offers tranquility and get away from our urban life yet not travel too far.
Traveling with a child is not easy especially with public transport. So we got off at Line 1 Wenshui Station after an hour on the metro. Grabbed a quick lunch at a nearby mall for 80 RMB and rushed to the next bus going to South Gate Pier Chongming. Online sources says the bus was gonna take 1.5 hours but we ended up sitting on it for 3 hours. An hour across Hengsha Island and 2 more to South Gate. Indeed Chongming is the 3rd largest island in China. Whew!!!
We finally got there and settled in our Lake View Forest Cabin. The smell of cedar was so refreshing.
The following day we visited the Dongping National forest after our buffet breakfast.
Everything was getting prepped for the Flower Festival. Definitely coming back for that season!
The food was great 💯! There were not a lot of restaurants nearby and the hotel food had a lot of variety from locally sourced ingredients. A food set menu was on sale that time but it was a pain to ensure it was available 😢. However food was always yum!
Vending machines made up for lack of convenience store and the hotel snack was fairly priced we just ate them all. hehehe
I love unique accomodations and this one is a winner! I am so happy we found this thanks to Trip.com!
The booking was quite a breeze too!
