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. Unexpectedly, the park had a great idea and used the trunks and roots of these fallen trees to set up a chrysanthemum exhibition, adding a unique primitive and rugged charm to the Monet Garden. 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. There are parking lots at the west and south gates of the park, so you can drive there too!

The ginkgo biloba scenery continues, and the maple leaves gradually change color. The colorful Gongqing Forest Park is so ... good to take photos of. 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. It is not necessary, you can go there on the way 8 Navigation "Shanghai International Group Youth Forest": near the South Gate, there is a red maple forest by the stream, which matches the waterscape well and is worth visiting If I didn't recommend it, it's my negligence. Feel free to add it. Shooting location: Gongqing Forest Park Shooting time: December 8, 2023 Park admission: Free

#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.🙃

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

#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!

#discoverchina This was my second time visiting Gongqing Forest Park, and I specifically avoided the May Day crowd—totally worth it! 🚶♀️🌸 The park is massive and perfect for a full day out, but if you’re short on time, this 3-hour route is just right for a refreshing half-day walk filled with scenic spots and seasonal blooms. 🕒 Basic Info Recommended time: 3–4 hours Opening hours: 5:00–18:00 Ticket: 🎫 Usually free or very affordable Best Entry Point: West Gate 🚇 How to Get There Metro: Line 8 → Get off at Shiguang Road Station (市光路站) Exit from Exit 4, then take the free shuttle into the park 🚐 (see map P10 for shuttle stop) 📍 Suggested Walking Route A circular path starting and ending at the West Gate West Gate Entry Less crowded and closest to the shuttle stop. Good starting point! Grand Lawn (大草坪) Open space, perfect for relaxing or taking photos with the tall trees and open sky 🌤️ Floral Arts Hall (花艺馆) Seasonal displays; worth a quick peek 🌼 Monet Garden (莫奈花园) ⚠️ Note: Not many flowers currently, and the “Monet Flower Ladder” seems to be removed. Still a peaceful stop with nice landscaping Hydrangea Garden (八仙花园) Check if the hydrangeas are blooming—they’re usually a summer highlight! 💜 #thingstodo #travel
