📸【Main Attractions】
❇️Lingang Starry Sky Sponge Park: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Weird buildings and bridges
❇️Oujing Town: ⭐⭐
Colorful houses, but the shops are basically closed, it's okay not to go.
❇️Duoyun Bookstore·Dripping Lake Store: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Depends on the weather, it looks good only with blue sky and white clouds. Lots of people, it's a place suitable for checking in, not for reading.
❇️International Flower Exhibition: ⭐⭐⭐
Opposite Lingang Center
A branch venue of the 2024 International Flower Exhibition, mainly featuring poppies, happy grass, and various wildflowers I can't name.
Having been to Gongqing and Binjiang Forest Park, I think this scene is quite ordinary.
❇️Spring Flower Autumn Color City Park: ⭐⭐⭐
The park is very large, we only visited a very small part.
The scenery is average, but the advantage is that there are not many people, suitable for camping, fishing, walking children, and daydreaming.
❇️Nanhui Mouth Sea Viewing Park: ⭐⭐⭐
Seaside, also depends on the weather. You can take pictures of the Donghai Bridge.
❇️Dripping Water Cloud Hall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A building still under construction. Called the Cloud Hall because it looks like a cloud.
❇️Pier No.1: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Didn't have enough time to visit carefully, both day and night with the lights are pretty.
And
Various uniquely shaped bridges on Dripping Lake...
☕【Eating and Drinking】
✅Coffee: Not lacking
There are 2 One Foot Gardens, and also manner
Duoyun Bookstore and Dayin Bookstore both have coffee
✅Dining:
📍A Xin Seafood Stall, in Oujing Town
According to a friend working in Lingang, it is a relatively famous local seafood.
After eating, the price is quite affordable, less than 100 per person, the portion is large, the taste is okay, for me, the taste is a bit too strong.
Dripping Lake
Tickets 30, overall OK, the inside is not very big, there is a re-engraved Zheng He down the Western Ocean ship is quite shocking, so it is OK to go here to see, and then go to the drip lake is not bad.
The Navigation Museum is a very recommended tourist attraction. The pavilion is the largest in China. The highest-level thematic museum. There are six exhibition areas as a whole, and there are centers such as Tianxiang Museum .4D Cinema. It is a quality museum that you can want to visit again.
There is such a seriously underestimated museum. The voice explanation is very detailed, suitable for sailing enthusiasts, primary school students study, but the drip lake is a bit far from the city, and the big station express train runs every hour. It must be stuck at this time to reach the drip lake subway station.
A very good museum, it is a little far away, it took some time to go out, the treasure ship in the hall is very eye-catching, go up and walk to feel the history of Zhenghe's West Ocean, there are many ship models in the exhibition hall, you can learn more about China's navigation, China's navy, China's ship industry, The past and present of the world of sailing. Very good learning opportunities.
If you want to get way from downtown area of Shanghai, just take a break and enjoy this beautiful lake. If you like running, one lap around the lake about 8Km.
