[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park (Updated Jul)

#stunningview In a city that never slows down, Gongqing Forest Park offers a rare and beautiful pause. Tucked in the northeast corner of Shanghai, it’s a world of whispering pines, hidden lakes, and quiet walking trails — a place where the skyline fades and the forest takes over. I wandered beneath tall trees that filtered the sunlight into soft gold, past families picnicking, students sketching, and old friends playing cards beneath the shade. Birds called from above, and the occasional breeze rustled through leaves like a distant lullaby. A small boat drifted across the still waters of the lake, and for a moment, the chaos of the city felt far away. Gongqing isn’t wild — it’s gentle. Designed but not sterile. Alive, but peaceful. It’s a reminder that even in one of the world’s busiest cities, nature still knows how to hold space for reflection, for play, and for stillness. When Shanghai overwhelms, the forest is waiting. #ForestEscape #GongqingForestPark #ShanghaiNature #UrbanOasis #CityRetreat #GreenShanghai #HiddenGemShanghai #NatureWithinTheCity #PeacefulPlaces #SlowMoments #ReconnectInNature #ParkLifeChina

# Nanny-level guide to Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park | Just one article is enough! My dears, if you want to spend 4 hours visiting Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park and don’t want to go back, whether you are a hipster who loves taking photos or a parent who wants to find a good place with your children, just follow the route I planned❗️ ## 【✅Route】 Enter from the East Gate to start this wonderful park journey. First, we came to the internet-famous small villa to feel the unique atmosphere and take some beautiful photos; then we went to the children's playground to let the children play to their heart's content; after that, we strolled to the camphor square to admire the exquisite potted plants; then we went to the most popular Monet Garden in Gongqing, as if we were in an oil painting; then we checked in at the chrysanthemum exhibition and immersed ourselves in the gorgeous world of chrysanthemums; then we experienced the forest train and enjoyed a freehand journey; then we went deeper into the small forest and felt the tranquility of nature; when we arrived at Qiulin Aiwan, we could choose to row a boat to relax; we walked across the wind and rain bridge to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way; finally, we came to the East Gate Flower Sea and ended this perfect trip in a sea of ​​flowers. East Gate ➡️Internet celebrity small house ➡️Children's Playground ➡️Camphor Square ➡️Monet Garden ➡️Chrysanthemum Exhibition ➡️Forest Train ➡️Little Forest ➡️Qiu Lin Ai Wan ➡️Wind and Rain Bridge ➡️Dongmen Sea of ​​Flowers. ## 【👇🏻Attractions】 ### 1️⃣ Internet celebrity small house When the weather is fine, it is very lively here, with many people sitting on chairs and posing for photos. 📸, a definite internet celebrity check-in spot. I was unlucky the day I went there, the chair was broken, which was a bit disappointing. You can look at the picture (see P3) to feel its charm. Imagine the sun shining on the roof of a small villa, surrounded by green plants. You sit on a chair and take a casual shot to create a blockbuster photo full of atmosphere. ### 2️⃣Children's Park This is a paradise for children and perfect for taking the kids out for a walk. There are various amusement projects such as the Road of the Brave and roller coasters. Here children can release their endless energy, challenge themselves and enjoy a happy time. Watching their children laughing and playing on the amusement facilities, parents can also feel the pure happiness. ### 3️⃣Camphor Square There are many beautiful potted plants on display in the square, each of which looks like a carefully crafted work of art. These potted plants have various shapes, some have lush branches and leaves, some have gorgeous flowers. They are neatly arranged in the square, as if showing the magic of nature and the exquisite skills of gardeners to tourists. Walking in the camphor square and admiring these potted plants makes one feel particularly relaxed. ### 4️⃣ Monet’s Garden This is the most popular check-in spot in Gongqing Forest Park. 📸, once you walk into here, it feels like you have walked into a beautiful oil painting. Colorful flowers are blooming one after another, and when the breeze blows, the flowers sway gently, as if dancing. Taking photos here, any shot can create a poetic and picturesque feeling, making you feel as if you are in a dream world. ### 5️⃣Chrysanthemum Exhibition The chrysanthemum exhibition will be on display from 2024.10.26 to 2024.11.26, and the layout area is very large. As soon as you enter the chrysanthemum exhibition area, you will be shocked by the gorgeous chrysanthemums in front of you. Chrysanthemums of various colors and varieties compete for beauty. Some look like hydrangeas, some look like waterfalls, and some look like fireworks. Many people come from far away just to see the beauty of these chrysanthemums. ### 6️⃣ Forest Train Taking the forest train is also a very good experience. It costs 20 yuan per person and takes about 10 minutes to go around. Sitting on the train, slowly traveling through the forest, you can enjoy the scenery along the way and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. The clang-clang sound of the train is like a beautiful piece of music, allowing you to relax during the journey. ### 7️⃣Qiu Lin Ai Wan You can go boating at Qiulin Aiwan, and there are hand-rowed boats and electric boats to choose from. If you like to control your own pace and enjoy the fun of rowing, then a hand rowing boat is a good choice; if you want to take it easy, you can choose an electric boat. Sitting on the boat, drifting on the lake, looking at the surrounding scenery and feeling the breeze on your face, it is so relaxing. ### 8️⃣ Wind and Rain Bridge It's relatively quiet here, not crowded, and there are many empty chairs. Sitting in a chair and quietly appreciating the surrounding scenery is really very enjoyable. The architectural style of Fengyu Bridge is unique, which complements the surrounding natural scenery. You can also take beautiful photos here. 📸. ## 🎫Ticket status What’s even more surprising is that this park is free to enter. 🆓, so that everyone can enjoy themselves without any burden. ## 🚗Transportation】 Address: No. 2000, Jungong Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai ### 🅿️Self-driving If you choose to drive, you can park at the East Gate, West Gate, and South Gate. However, I suggest stopping at the East Gate because it is closest to several popular attractions. This can save a lot of time and energy, allowing you to have more energy to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the park. ### 🚇Subway It is also very convenient to take the subway. You can get off at Shiguang Road Station on Line 8 and then take Bus No. 147 to reach the west gate of the park. There are also bus routes 147, 102 and 124 at the entrance of the park, so no matter which direction you come from, you can easily find the right means of transportation. How about it? After reading this guide, are you eager to go to Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park for fun? Then let’s take action quickly!

#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

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!

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.

#shanghaionbudget My day at Gongqing Forest Park offered a perfect blend of nature, adventure, and relaxation—all without breaking the bank. Nestled in Yangpu District, this sprawling 131‑hectare green retreat is the city’s second‑largest park, easily reached via Metro Line 8 to Shiguang Lu Station (followed by a short taxi or walk) . Entrance costs just ¥15, with kids charged half price . I started with a leisurely stroll through towering firs and flowering groves, enjoying the fresh air and calm lakes—Shanghai feels miles away here . For thrills, I splurged a bit on rides: a looping roller coaster, a scenic electronic toboggan, and go-karts—all ranged between ¥20–30 per ride . Activities like rock climbing, paintball, and horseback riding were available too if you’re up for more fun . A highlight was relaxing by the lake in the southern zone—I even spotted a mini zip-line and enjoyed seeing families boating and picnicking . A peaceful train ride through the forest added a charming touch. Reddit users rave that it’s one of the few parks where you can BBQ or camp in makeshift tents—just arrive early to claim your spot  . I didn’t BBQ this time, but next visit, I’ll definitely come prepared—nothing beats grilled skewers on the grass! Practical tips: • Arrive early to beat the weekend crowds and snag good views  • Park opens at ~6 AM (summer) or 5 AM in winter • Plan 3–4 hours for exploration plus ride time • Bring snacks and water—food stalls are sparse inside  All in all, Gongqing Forest Park is a top-tier budget escape from the city—lush forests, lake views, and just enough adventure to keep things fun. Ideal for families, friends, or a solo day out!

#HawaiiFlightEvent Senlin Park is a place where your eyes will be happy first with colorful flowers in full bloom. Different flowers bloom every season and fill the park, so just walking along the path makes you feel like you're walking in a fairy tale. Many people take pictures with the flowers in the background, and the sight of people walking slowly while intoxicated by the scent of flowers was impressive. Another feature of this park is pigeons! There are so many pigeons freely wandering around the park, so it feels like you're breathing with nature. If you happen to catch a picture of them flying, it's a really great shot! If you want to get away from the busy city and spend some leisurely time in nature, Senlin Park is a great choice. #ShanghaiSenlinPark #ShanghaiNature #FlowerFullPark #PigeonHeaven #RestInTheUrbanRest #ShanghaiParkRecommendation #ChinaTravel #ShanghaiWalk #FlowerPhotoSpot #EmotionalPark

Here comes the highlight! The spring-limited flower boat at "Swan Pier" is only on display until May 5!

Standing on the shore, any random shot is a spring harbor blockbuster that can amaze your social circle! This route takes only 20 minutes to walk, but it condenses the most essential spring scenery of Gongqing Forest Park. It is recommended to reserve 2 hours for taking photos and slowly feel the unique charm of each scenery.
