Shanghai locals really keep their secrets tight, yet they have hidden a little deer treasure park

Discover Shanghai's hidden treasure animal park—Huaxia Park, located in Zhangjiang, Pudong. Although this park is not large, it offers unexpected tranquility and beauty, making it a great place to relax and unwind. It is free to enter, surrounded by lush trees and expansive lawns. There is also a small zoo here, home to adorable muntjacs, sika deer, black swans, and other animals, making it a paradise for kids. It can be called a "budget version of Nara," perfect for bringing children to play. 🦌 Featured Muntjac Garden The most special part of Huaxia Park is its muntjac garden, one of Shanghai’s earliest and most important muntjac breeding bases. Muntjacs, as a national second-class protected animal, look like small deer, are lively and cute, and roam freely in the park, giving a light and lively feeling. If you are interested in deer species, the park offers detailed educational information, allowing you to see the different characteristics of muntjacs, water deer, musk deer, and more. ‼️ Special Notice: The muntjac garden is open to the public every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Tips: ✨ Remember to wear sunscreen and try to avoid the hottest times, especially noon, as the muntjacs usually rest in the shade. 🚗 Parking spaces in the park are limited, with only 20 spots available.
