A lesser-known route to Qingxi Country Park you must know before you go

🌝I wanted to take a walk in Qingxi Country Park, which is said to be the most beautiful place in Shanghai to see metasequoia trees. But when I searched for travel guides, I found that everyone was saying that the park is very poorly designed! 🆘 You have to walk a long way from the main entrance and pay for a sightseeing bus! So I looked for the north entrance on the map, which is closer to the water forest! 🆒🆒I wanted to try my luck and see if the north entrance was accessible, and I found a lesser-known, time-saving, and labor-saving route! 🚙Normal route: Park in P2/3 parking lot, parking is charged per time, 15💰/time 🛺Sightseeing bus: 30 yuan/round trip Parking lot—Free shuttle bus to the visitor center Here comes the good stuff! 🗺️Navigation: Search for "Qingxi Country Park North Entrance" 🅿️Parking: You can park on the roadside for free! 🚏🚏Route: Walk from the north entrance to the water forest, only 10 minutes! See picture 3 for the route ✨✨Travel tips: 1. You need to make a reservation on the park's official account during peak season, but not during the off-season 2. The pictures were taken on November 12, and the whole forest is still green. If you want to see redwoods, you have to wait until the end of November and early December! 3. Due to the season, Dalian Lake and Taohua An are now bare. If you want to see lotus flowers and peach blossoms, you have to wait until the corresponding season! 4. The park is very large, so you can bring some food and drinks before entering 5. 🤦Except for the core scenic area of the water forest, other places are not much different from ordinary countryside! 6. If you want to eat in the park, you can contact the owner in advance, and the car can drive directly to the farmhouse area 7. Not recommended for cycling enthusiasts, as bicycles and skateboards are not allowed, otherwise the park won't be able to make money from you on the sightseeing bus! ☺️☺️Half-day tour suggestion: Come with a relaxed and comfortable attitude, you can sleep in, come after lunch, or book a farmhouse here, 🌲13:30-15:30 stroll in the water forest, 15:30-17:30 sit by Dalian Lake, and then go home 🤼‍♀️🤼‍♀️One-day tour suggestion: Since the park is close to Dianshan Lake, and it saves time to enter from the north entrance, you can easily combine it with a one-day tour of Dianshan Lake! 🌟Suggested itinerary: Depart at 8:30, arrive at the north entrance at 9:30, 9:30-11:30 water forest, 11:30-13:00 find a place to eat farmhouse food 🌈13:00-15:00 go to Dianshan Lake Rainbow Bridge & Lake Heart Island, 15:00-16:00 True Love Pier 🌅🌅Then after 16:00, the sun is almost setting, enjoy the sunset view of Dianshan Lake, arrive at the half-marathon lawn, spread out your camping gear and start enjoying!
