Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park

There are more than a thousand ginkgo trees in Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park, distributed in every corner of the forest, quiet and peaceful.

The dense forest, the golden fallen leaves, the warm sun, the light clouds, the beautiful scenery, it is really amazing. Autumn is a picturesque poem.

The ginkgo trees all changed color, making it look like you were in a golden forest.

The warm autumn sun, the golden leaves of the ginkgo trees, and the slightly chilly fresh air decorate the forest park with a dazzling array of colors...

Gongqing National Forest Park is a unique park with forests as its primary landscape. While the park emphasizes forest scenery, it also features hills, lakes, grasslands, and flowing water, creating a uniquely southern landscape. Trees are primarily planted in groups or forests. Along roadsides and along lakefronts, intermittent sparse planting or clustered planting creates shaded green corridors.



Whether wandering through the dense woods or strolling among the flowers along the riverbank, you can appreciate the vibrant spring scenery. April is the peak season for hydrangeas, but this year they generally bloomed earlier, so by the time we arrived, most of the flowers had already fallen. We unexpectedly encountered azaleas in full bloom. So, regardless of the time of year, the forest park always has something to offer.

Transportation is not very convenient. You need to reverse or ride a bike to get to the end of Line 8. If you drive, the last part of the journey is quite congested and parking is also time-consuming.

There are few ticket windows, long queues, and online purchases are not supported.

The park is beautiful, with lush trees, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom during the Chrysanthemum Festival. It's recommended to walk east to enjoy the scenery and west to take children to the playground. Tents are free to pitch in the park, and many people are taking wedding photos.

Snacks and drinks are available inside the park at affordable prices. The signage and toilets are well-arranged so you won't get lost while walking.

It was my first time at Gongqing Forest Park. The park is huge, with lush vegetation, large lawns, and a barbecue area. It wasn't crowded. I heard it's even more beautiful in spring and autumn, so I'll definitely come back to see it! It's a great weekend getaway!

A great place to take photos and check in! The weather is nice and crisp in autumn, perfect for taking photos! The playground has a real little train king, and the electric slide is fun!

Gongqing Forest Park, the largest and only 4A-rated national forest park in Shanghai specializing in forest landscapes, has three entrances: the south, west, and north. It boasts twelve scenic areas, including Pine Valley, Jungle Wilderness, and Water Village. It also features barbecue areas, a soccer field, a playground, and horseback riding, all perfectly organized.

The North and South Gardens have different styles. The North Garden focuses on forest scenery, with hills, lakes and grasslands, while the South Garden has small bridges and flowing water, exuding a southern style.

Gongqing Forest Park is very close to home. Taking advantage of the beautiful spring weather and the blooming flowers, I went to the park over the weekend. I expected crowds, but I was pleasantly surprised by its tranquility and cleanliness. Visitors were sparse, and the atmosphere felt deserted. But without the glare of the sun, the air was incredibly clear. The willow branches were coated in a waxy, rich coating, and the water plants took on a unique green hue. The entire park resembled a painting by a skilled artist, and it was actually moving. The park is large, with its diverse trees as the main attraction. Deep in the dense forest, when the wilderness was deserted, I truly felt the tranquility and ethereal feeling of being in the great woods. The scenery is stunning, and it's often visited by wedding photographers and professional photographers. It's a great place for a family outing. Pitching a tent on the large lawn and having a picnic is a perfect way to relax and connect with nature!

Although the best time for viewing the red maple leaves had passed, I still went to see it with hope, and was pleasantly surprised. The ticket price was 15 yuan per person, and the fallen leaves on the ground were still so fresh.

The scenery is nice, there is a barbecue area, very natural. But the transportation is a bit inconvenient, there are not many buses.

There are not many parks in Shanghai with towering trees, which are more breathtaking than other parks.

The charm of autumn in the city, it is rare to find such interesting natural scenery

Gongqing Forest Park is an older park, 38 kilometers from my home, an hour's drive. Transportation isn't very convenient, and there's no subway. The park is large, and the adult entrance fee is a very reasonable 15 yuan. There are many rides, most of which cost 10 yuan per ride. Children under 130 cm tall must be accompanied by an adult, and they pay the full admission fee, which is a bit of a downside. The more unique attractions include the Forest Train and the Brave Road. The park is generally poorly maintained, with the large lawns mostly bare. Prices are very reasonable, with a bowl of noodles costing just over a dozen yuan and a milkshake only five yuan, which is rare in parks these days. Overall, it's a good place to set up a tent and spend a relaxing afternoon.

I visit Gongqing Forest Park every few years, from a spring school outing as a kid to a family outing with my kids. This Mid-Autumn Festival visit feels like a significant change, much better than before. It used to be just a forest park, with barbecues, horseback riding, and Easter egg shooting, followed by a series of "walking through the woods" activities, which was quite monotonous. Now, admission is still 15 yuan per person, with children under 1.3 meters free and discounts for seniors. The amusement park has expanded significantly, keeping up with the times with the addition of rock climbing and zip lines, but of course, the miniature train still grabs attention. In my experience, the miniature train at the Forest Park is the longest in Shanghai, crossing three bridges and two level crossings. Every child on board was probably so proud of themselves as they passed through the level crossings, thinking, "Look, down there, I'm on a miniature train!" Every time the train passed, it brought a lot of excitement to the amusement park. The electric slide is pretty cool, and it was packed with people taking photos. The speed is quite thrilling when you let go. The Brave Road, before Oriental Oasis opened, was a spring and autumn outing destination for Shanghai's primary and secondary schools. It's still a favorite among children, but some activities are dangerous for children under five, so parents should exercise discretion. Rope swings require a good balance, so parents are encouraged to try them on their own and not blame their children. Paintball is a bit of a chore for kids; you can't compete, just shoot balloons. It costs 50 yuan for 20-30 rounds, which sounds like a lot, but it takes less than two minutes—all the bullets are gone! Anyway, this is a place where older kids team up for real-person PKs, so younger kids can just enjoy it as a trial.

Interestingly, the plants here are arranged according to the park's topography. The northeastern side, with its higher ground, is home to tall, green trees, while the southern side, with its lower, swampy waterways, is home to willows and reeds. Bringing children to learn about plants was one of the original motivations for establishing the Gongqing Nursery.

The area is so large that you can't spend half a day exploring it.

The park is divided into three major areas: the eastern section along the Huangpu River is a forested area; the central section is a water village with a surface area of 90,000 square meters; and the western section is a "deep mountain and dense forest" area. The park offers a variety of engaging tours and leisure activities. Visitors can enjoy horseback riding in the woods, fishing in the lake, and fully appreciate the charm of nature.

You will love this place because there is no bigger forest park in the city. It is on Jungong Road, Yangpu District, a little bit remote. I came here this time because I was leaving Yangpu. By the way, the ticket is 15 in cash.

The environment is good, sleeping on the lawn is very comfortable, there are many parent-child activities, it is very good to bring children, you can also barbecue, boating, etc.

I've been there twice. It's beautiful, the trees are beautiful, the pace is slow, and it's a good place to go for a walk on the weekend. Tickets need to be purchased in cash, so it's recommended that you prepare more cash. The internal barbecue area also required cash when I went there last year. I didn't go to the barbecue area this year, so I'm not sure.

The difference between Gongqing Forest Park and other parks in Shanghai is that 1) it is suitable for barbecue, with a special barbecue area, where you can rent all the barbecue tools, charcoal grills and benches, and there is a fixed barbecue tent. You can also buy barbecue ingredients such as pork tenderloin, potato chips, barbecue sauce, beer and drinks. The price is relatively reasonable, much more reliable than the prices in other domestic scenic spots. Basically, as long as people come, they can rent and buy all barbecue-related things. There are many barbecue tents, and many people are barbecuing inside. 2) A children's football field suitable for parents and children. There are many training and competitions arranged by children's football training institutions. There is great grass and very professional coaches and sparring partners. The fee is unknown. 3) A fishing area, where you can fish. 4) Paid playgrounds, water boats, land rapids, etc. In addition, other parks also have them, such as flowers, park lakes, and a small area of the park close to the Huangpu River. The center of the park is suitable for parents and children to set up tents and fly kites.

If you have half a day

And there is leisure and leisure to toss

Then you can come here

Because he is in Yangpu District

A little distance

The internet-famous little train track inside is a must-see for couples

There's not a lot of traffic here.

Usually locals come to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Come here to relax

This large, old park boasts beautiful vegetation. It's perfect for seniors to do morning exercises. There's also ample lawn space for tents and kite flying. Boating offers a tranquil, woodland feel. The lake is also teeming with fish, so anglers are sure to find something to catch. For children, a ride on the forest train is a delight. This 50-seat, realistic-looking train travels over 700 meters, and the tracks and train itself provide a great backdrop for photo opportunities.

The park is quite suitable for family outings, with many amusement facilities and large areas of grass for children to run around and bask in the sun. We walked around the park without any plans and ate and drank freely, feeling very happy and carefree.

The autumn wind is bleak and the leaves are falling. The autumn is a bit sad, but delicate and beautiful.

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is not far from my home. Every year around this time, they have a chrysanthemum exhibition, showcasing new varieties. This year marks my fifth consecutive year going, and for someone like me who loves flowers and plants, it's a must-see. Last Sunday, I happened to be free, so I rode my bike and arrived in just 10 minutes. The entrance fee was 15 yuan, and I was able to get straight to the point. Great!

The annual chrysanthemum exhibition at Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is a great place to practice flower photography. This year marks my third year of practicing chrysanthemum photography. It's still a rainy day, with a sudden drop in temperature. I tug at my collar, my bun-like hair letting the cold wind blow more easily down my neck. I take a deep breath and head straight into the exhibition tent with familiarity. It might be the weekend, but today is especially crowded. Old ladies and uncles come and go in waves. After more than three hours of tossing and turning, the chrysanthemums in my eyes no longer have any resentment. I want to make them ignite. Let's take a look!

Shanghai Gongqing National Forest Park was originally a nursery known as the "Gongqing Nursery." In the 1980s, the nursery was expanded and renamed Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park. In 2006, it was officially designated "Shanghai Gongqing National Forest Park," becoming a national forest park. In recent years, the park has held an annual chrysanthemum exhibition, a departure from the previous practice of rotating exhibitions among Shanghai's districts. The 2017 exhibition, from October 28 to November 26, served as a preview for the National Chrysanthemum Exhibition to be held two years later.

A friend told me about the chrysanthemum exhibition at Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park. I'm a flower lover, so I decided to spend a day there this weekend. As soon as I entered, I headed straight for the exhibition. The yellow ginkgo leaves at the entrance were snapped with my phone. Feel free to choose between the fresh, vibrant, alluring, vast, charming, rich, or fresh and graceful. The sun was just right, so I could capture a ray of light. The tranquil lakeside is a place where you can sit for a long time. A beautiful woman is a picture, a vibrant autumn scene, and the fallen leaves are a dazzling spectacle. This is the only place with this beauty. I walked all day and was too tired to speak, so I'll post more pictures. Please forgive me.

A great place to relax and enjoy the autumn leaves

It's very big. I've been there twice. The first time was when I took wedding photos here, and the second time was when I came here for a vacation.

There's also boating. It's fun. And kite flying. You can definitely come.

I went there again, this time with my baby. Back then we were taking wedding photos, and this time I brought my baby with me. Time flies so fast.

My wife and I found the tree where we took our wedding photos.

I really like this place. There are lots of people setting up tents there, and the activities are very cheap. Generally, they cost 10 or 20 yuan, which is very cheap in Shanghai. Next time I go there, I plan to buy a tent and enjoy a day of leisure.

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is located at 2000 Jungong Road, Yangpu District, northeastern Shanghai. Located on the city's edge on the upper reaches of the Huangpu River, it was established as a forest park in 2006. It's a large park, primarily composed of forest landscapes. After enjoying the chrysanthemum exhibition, I wandered the park and was surprised by the vibrant colors of autumn. Maple leaves, ginkgo trees, metasequoia trees, and sycamore trees create a vibrant riot of color. I had originally intended to see the chrysanthemums, but I wasn't expecting to see so many beautiful autumn colors. The Lingnan region, with its evergreen greenery, often envied by northerners, often lacks vibrant colors, leaving it feeling somewhat monotonous and lonely. This unexpected discovery of a beautiful scenery perfectly filled my longing for autumn colors. Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is vast. Judging from where I've walked, it's probably the largest park in downtown Shanghai. The chrysanthemum exhibition was drawing to a close, and with the busy workday and the chilly weather, the already sparse crowds were concentrated in the chrysanthemum exhibition area. Just leave this vast forest beauty for me to appreciate alone, the golden color of ginkgo, the light brown of metasequoia, the fiery red of maple leaves, the slightly chilly fresh air, and the large area of forest and lawn.

It is a relatively large park in Shanghai. The transportation is a little inconvenient. You need to transfer from the subway to the bus, but the scenery is good. It is suitable for spending an entire afternoon and breathing fresh air.

Go forward along Nenjiang Road and park at the East Gate. It is very cheap and convenient. You can park under the shade of trees.

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park, with a 15-yuan entrance fee, is perfect for strolling, taking photos, and picnicking. The park is much larger than I expected. Opening at 6 a.m., it's packed with elderly people practicing Tai Chi, elementary school students enjoying their spring outings, and photographers scouting around with their heavy DSLRs. It's definitely worth a visit, and I recommend spending four hours. It took me two and a half hours to finish, and I even got lost along the way. 😂

Walking through the park, I was greeted by lush greenery. It felt like being surrounded by a vibrant array of trees, akin to being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, returning to nature. Quietly contemplating and observing, free from all distractions, I felt like visiting places like this more often to relieve the stress and busyness of everyday life. It was such a blessing to be able to stroll here.

The weather was great and there were so many people there yesterday. It's such a big park, but every corner was packed with people yesterday. It happened to be during the blooming flowers and the Qingming Festival holiday. 😊😊 The scenery inside is really beautiful. There were so many people picnicking that the place was almost filled with tents of all sizes and colors. . . .

The closest forest park to the city center is a great place for autumn outings, barbecues, camping, horseback riding, and archery. Address: 2000 Jungong Road, Shanghai

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is very large and faces the Huangpu River to the east. The park has everything you need, beautiful scenery, and rich entertainment facilities. It is a great place to go on weekends!

It's also very nice to go there in winter! With the warm sunshine, it's even better ⊙▽⊙

But my favorite is Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park, which is highly recommended! The trees are tall and neatly arranged, and the environment is quiet. The entire park is like a painting, peaceful and beautiful. There's a barbecue area, perfect for a family getaway or a couple to sit by the river and enjoy the scenery.

Shanghai Forest Park is a four-season park with different characteristics in each season, especially in autumn.

Went to a BBQ with colleagues and it was great.

I'd been to Gongqing Forest Park in elementary school, and I'd been wanting to go back for years, so I finally made the trip this summer. The park is about 90% green, which is rare in Shanghai. It's still quite cool here in the summer. The rides are especially noteworthy, as they're only open to two people, so my friend and I booked one after another. The cheapest was just 10 yuan per person, while the more expensive was only 30 yuan. For a full ride, it came to about 200 yuan per person, which is a great deal for Shanghai. We also rode a horse and a roller coaster, which were fantastic. It's a bit remote, though, on Jungong Road in Yangpu District, so you have to take the subway to the end and then transfer to a bus.

The forest park is definitely worth a visit. Of course, you have to consider the distance and transportation. Choose a good day, bring some delicious food, and spend a day or two wandering around in it. It's very comfortable.

It's a big park. In recent years, with the popularity of private cars, more and more people are visiting.

The scenery is pretty good, and many people take wedding photos there.

There are some games and entertainment activities, but I prefer to walk by the water, sit, bask in the sun, and watch the people passing by.

There are some places where there are fewer people walking and it is very quiet.

There are a lot more people on holidays, so if you have time, you can go on weekdays.

The park is large and includes a variety of attractions, making it a great place for parents to bring their children. The abundant vegetation makes it a great place for photos. There's also a barbecue area, perfect for gatherings with friends.

The green area is almost the largest in Shanghai! The air is also very good, and it is not far away! There are many recreational facilities inside, suitable for weekend picnics

There are beautiful views and amusement facilities. It is a good balance of activity and tranquility. It is my baby's favorite park.

I visited this place on an early spring weekend and found it quite interesting to take photos. However, several bridges within the park were under repair, blocking access. There are many attractions within the park, but they're generally a bit too young for most, so a wider range would be better. The carousel's background music really threw me off. Here are a few pictures to see for yourself.

Over 80% of Gongqing Forest Park is covered in trees. The abundance of plants ensures a remarkably fresh air. The 15 yuan entrance fee is a truly affordable price. The dense foliage blocks direct sunlight, making the heat less intense even in summer. The park's public facilities are well-designed, offering both leisurely strolls for older visitors and a variety of recreational facilities for children. Tickets are also affordable, with each attraction costing between 10 and 30 yuan. This makes the park packed every weekend and holiday. Coupled with the lack of transportation, most visitors drive. Consequently, parking is a challenge, and finding a spot after 10 a.m. on weekends is extremely difficult.

There are so many things to play with in the park, but it’s a pity that I only saw one side of it. I hope to see more of its beauty.

I went there with my colleagues for a party. We had barbecue, ice skating, rock climbing, and design. The scenery was also great.

Some areas are natural and pristine, and I hope they will be well protected. It's too big, and I didn't finish exploring it, but it's a good place to relax.

The park is very beautiful and huge! There are many sights to see and things to do!

Located on the northeast side of Yangpu District and west side of the Huangpu River, the park is large and beautiful, and hosts exhibitions of peonies, chrysanthemums and other flowers every year.

Still first, the official website presents: ***

1. My childhood impression of the forest park was "far away" + "barbecue"

2. After the entire Magic City expands, Forest Park will be just a short walk away: take Metro Line 8 to Huangxing Park and transfer to Bus 147. Admission to this vast park will still be just 15 yuan.

3. The "Chrysanthemum Exhibition" is held every year and is well-deserved of its reputation. The ticket price does not increase during the flower exhibition, and many people come to take pictures.

All in all, it is still worth a visit. There are guides and reviews online, so I won’t go into details.

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is a great place for autumn outings, barbecues, and camping. With its beautiful scenery, hills, vast lawns, lakes, and streams, you can enjoy boating, barbecuing, horseback riding, and even ride on a pirate ship. Admission is 15 yuan, and many wedding photographers come to enjoy the fresh air. Pitch a tent with your family, relax, bring some food, and have some fun. The horse racing track is also a bustling place, with slow rides costing 30 yuan and fast rides 60 yuan. Parking is available at the entrance for 20 yuan per ride.

transportation:

Take Subway Line 8 to Shiguang Road Station, exit from Exit 2, and walk east along Shiguang Road for about 1 kilometer.

Take bus No. 102, 124, 147, or 325 to Forest Park Station, which leads to the park's west gate; take bus No. 325 to Jungong Road Nenjiang Road Station, which leads to the park's south gate.

In early autumn, my family visited Gongqing Forest Park. We took a stroll, learned about plants, and played on the miniature train, electric slide, and luxurious waves. It felt like I was back in college—so relaxing and satisfying. My son and husband went on the whitewater rafting ride. The little one was so frightened he couldn't even scream, and after getting off, he actually wanted to go on. We also went rowing as a family. It was quite challenging, with the boat spinning frequently. However, afterward, we gained experience and became much more adept. Most importantly, my son was also very happy and later said he loved it when his mom took him rowing.

During normal times, the ticket price is 10 yuan, but now it is 15 yuan.

Electric slide, 30 yuan for 2 people.

4-person rowing boat, 40 yuan per hour.

The air was fresh and there were few people there when I went. The park was very empty and it was very comfortable to walk in the shade of the trees. There is a garden inside, but there are almost no flowers in the summer and it is very hot.

It's a large free park, perfect for a spring outing. You can also bring your own tent and camp. It's a very good experience."

It's a dreamy place. Since I was little, I felt that only here could I return to nature. After the rise of skyscrapers, my yearning for nature became even more demanding. Weddings were also held here.

The greenery is good, and it was very moist when I went there on a rainy day. However, the sanitation may not be enough, and it is a bit dirty.

The scenery is endless, with clear water and blue sky. You can enjoy horse riding, boating, kite flying, etc. Picnic is also a good choice.

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is the largest landscape park in Shanghai with forest as its main feature. It is an urban public green space with a forest landscape that is "natural, wild, tranquil and rugged". With its unique ecological advantages, it has become a new guide for the construction of urban ecological green spaces. At the same time, it provides citizens with a recreational and leisure place with "forest landscape" as its main feature.

When the rape flowers bloom, you should let your mood fly freely in the wild, but be careful, because this is the season when you are most likely to be fickle.

I have fond memories of Gongqing Park. My first visit was on my birthday, and it was a sunny January day. The park was quiet and sparsely populated, which suits my personality perfectly. The park is a vibrant golden hue, and it's also a great place to watch movies, which I really enjoy.

This time, the crowds were surprisingly large. I was genuinely surprised to see the sea of people outside when I walked in. Since I was planning to shoot a series of photos with Shoujun in Gongqing, I was dressed lightly. Even though I've shot photos outdoors many times, I couldn't help but feel a little shy seeing so many people. Putting the crowds aside, Gongqing still feels the same to me. I love the lush greenery of the forest.

It's a very beautiful park, it's worth visiting~~~ It would be even better if you can go with friends~~~ Spring is the best time to go, there are rape flowers, lavender, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and many other things I can't name. In short, I highly recommend everyone to go~~~

It's quite large and relaxing. I went there on May Day, and it was incredibly crowded. The entrance fee was about 25 yuan per person. The rides inside are separate. You can ride the miniature train for 10 yuan a ride. There's also a carousel for the brave, 20 yuan a ride, horseback riding, bumper cars, and whitewater rafting...

Arriving at the park, I realized the admission price was so low. The scenery was so beautiful, it was an incredible value. The moment I walked in, I was captivated. Vast expanses of lawn and lush vegetation, pale pink cherry blossoms drifted down, families, friends, and couples pitched tents and flew kites. So, I stood there like a fool, enveloped by the feeling of embracing nature, feeling inexplicably moved and filled with a sense of wonder. Deep within, the beauty was even more breathtaking. I could only rave about it. Tree trunks leaned against the riverbank, the water meandered endlessly, and a blond, blue-eyed foreign family picnicked on the grass by the river. The sound of the wind, birdsong, and people chirping filled my ears, and the fragrance of flowers, forests, and cardamom was captivating. There were many couples taking wedding photos, and the beautiful scenery made the brides even more beautiful. Best wishes to them. Yes, here, we can envision our future together, create unique photographs, and have the clearest thoughts. I was speechless, but reluctant to leave.

In the park, people who do morning exercises, fish, fly kites, and take wedding photos all gather in this forest oxygen bar. All those who come to the forest park can relax their lung capacity and breathe in the negative ions in the forest.

It happened to be the opening of the chrysanthemum exhibition, and there were many rare chrysanthemum varieties on display. They were very beautiful and eye-opening...

The chrysanthemum exhibition in Gongqing Forest Park has always been famous. What you get here is not only the fragrance and beauty of chrysanthemums... More scenery is waiting for us.

These migratory birds (resident birds) in the forest will naturally come here every morning to forage in groups of three or five, providing bird lovers with opportunities to watch and photograph birds.

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park, formerly known as Gongqing Nursery, was renamed Gongqing Forest Park in 1986. In January 2006, the park was officially approved as a national forest park by the State Forestry Administration and named Shanghai Gongqing National Forest Park.

The forest park is dotted with vibrant flowers, lush green grass, and bustling with people, mostly families with children. Sometimes, you don't need to travel far or join a large group; simply being with your family and loved ones—under the shade of trees, amidst the flowers, by the stream—is a beautiful sight everywhere. Enjoy life! Life is truly wonderful! Life is truly heartwarming.

The Ginkgo Grove is located about 5-10 minutes from the South Gate, on a section of the forest train track. The scattered ginkgo trees and the occasional train passing by are truly captivating! ^-^

Upon entering Gongqing Forest Park, I first read the signage at the entrance to get a general idea of the park's structure. There's a playground and a racetrack, but we didn't play there; we just walked by. The sun was so bright, the sky so rare and azure. Lying quietly on the lawn—what could be more relaxing?
