Shanghai keeps extending its limits and Lingang new city is one of those places near our cosmopolitan city that is hard to believe you are still in Shanghai. Located around 80 km away from downtown, you get to explore the wetlands, the Dishui Lake and Nanhuixincheng beach. Best part: it’s free! Nanhuixincheng beach 🏝 is not a place to swim, or perform any kind of sport/fishing activities. You can come to have a nice walk through the sand, wet your feet in the cold water, seek for crabs 🦀 (too small to eat) and have a wonderful time with your family. Beach color is brown due to high amount of sediments in the water, caused by Changjiang’s river mouth. Therefore, fishing and aquatic sports are not allowed. However, this doesn’t limit people to come and visit this area. During summer, beach and wetlands are crowded with tourists every day, all day. 📍 Haiji 5th Road and Shijitang Road Intersection Southward Yue 50 Meters, Pudong #mangroves #ramsar #wetland #shanghaistyle #shanghai #beach #beaches #beachphotography #beachlove #birdwatching #beautifulsunsets #roadtrip#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Shanghai keeps extending its limits and Lingang new city is one of those places near our cosmopolitan city that is hard to believe you are still in Shanghai. Located around 80 km away from downtown, you get to explore the wetlands, the Dishui Lake and Nanhuixincheng beach. Best part: it’s free! Located between Haiji 6th Road and Diding Road, you can find the wetlands and mangroves part of the “coastal management conservation” developed by the city. However, most of the Lingang new city is within the wetlands. This area is not classified as Ramsar as the government see conservation as “waste of land”. Nevertheless, some efforts from local conservationists groups give us the chance to enjoy just a beautiful green area next to the beach 🏝. During summer, is full with tourists. You see the ducks 🦆 and birds 🐦, enjoy the salty wind and walk around this beautiful area. 📍Diding Road, Lingang.
