A hidden urban paradise in Shanghai, the dreamy tranquility of New Hongqiao Central Garden!

—— Amid the bustling and noisy city of Shanghai, there is such a place like a secluded paradise. New Hongqiao Central Garden is like a lost pearl, quiet and beautiful, with every breath filled with a dreamy atmosphere! 🔥 Why is New Hongqiao Central Garden worth a visit? ❶ A natural oasis in the city The garden is shaded by lush trees, with large lawns like green velvet carpets, and seasonal flowers competing in beauty. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom brilliantly, like pink clouds drifting to earth; in summer, the shade of green trees is the perfect refuge from the scorching sun; in autumn, the fiery maple leaves dye the entire garden in brilliant colors; in winter, the pine and cypress stand proudly in the snow, adding a touch of steadfast beauty. Here, you can forget the city's noise and get close to nature. ❷ A perfect blend of art and nature The garden not only features natural beauty but is also dotted with many artistic sculptures. These sculptures vary in style, some abstract, some realistic, complementing the surrounding natural scenery. They seem like garden spirits, adding an artistic atmosphere and lively beauty to the entire garden. ❸ An excellent place for relaxation There are multiple leisure areas in the garden with benches for visitors to rest. You can invite a few friends to stroll and chat in the garden, relaxing your body and mind. 📍 Insider tip: Spend a day exploring New Hongqiao Central Garden 📅 Morning: Encounter the beauty of nature ▪️ Arrive early in the garden, stroll along the winding paths, breathe in the fresh air, and admire the flowers, grass, and trees along the way. 📅 Afternoon: Art and leisure time ▪️ Visit the garden’s art sculptures and carefully appreciate the unique charm of each piece. 📅 Evening: Feel the sunset glow ▪️ Find a quiet corner, sit down, and enjoy the sunset light spreading over the garden’s beautiful scenery. Watch the sky gradually turn orange-red and feel the wonderful day coming to a close. 💡 Must-know tips for first-timers! ✅ Transportation: You can take the subway to nearby stations and then walk to the garden. The transportation is very convenient. ✅ Dress code: Choose appropriate clothing according to the season. In spring, wear bright colors to echo the flowers; in summer, wear light and breathable clothes; in autumn, wear warm-toned clothes to match the color of the maple leaves; in winter, keep warm. Pair with comfortable shoes for easy strolling in the garden. ⚠️ Etiquette: Protect the garden environment, do not trample the lawn or pick flowers. This is a pure land in the urban Shanghai, a peaceful harbor amid the hustle and bustle. It offers every visitor a dreamy travel experience with the beauty of nature and the charm of art, making it a place you won’t want to leave.

Chongming Planning Exhibition Hall

Shanghai adventure alert 🚀🌱! On my latest trip, I wandered off the city's usual tourist trail and found myself at the Chongming Planning Exhibition Hall. This spot blends stylish modern architecture with a peek into local development and boasts pretty gorgeous scenery if you need an escape from Shanghai’s skyscrapers. Must-See: Chongming Planning Exhibition Hall 📍 Address: No. 7918, Chongming Avenue, Chongming District, Shanghai Opening Hours: Typically 9:00-17:00 (double-check before you go!) The hall itself is super photogenic—think intricate display models, decorative patterns, and creative lighting. Bird lovers, keep your eyes open for the themed outdoor spaces featuring local wildlife! While inside, don’t miss a close-up look at the detailed exhibition features, each telling a story about Chongming’s growth and cultural vision. Top Tip: The overall vibe here is peaceful, and the scenery outside the hall is well worth a slow stroll (perfect for an outdoor moment or snapping those IG-worthy pics). Spend a bit of time soaking it all in, then grab coffee at a nearby café for a real local break. Getting There: Public transport via Metro Line 1 then local bus is budget-friendly but takes some time; taxis or ride-hailing from central Shanghai are faster if you’re feeling impatient. Refreshments: Pack some snacks or grab a bite at local eateries on Chongming Avenue—simple but tasty Chinese fare is everywhere, so don’t miss out! Extra Hack: No visa stress if you’re already in China. The weather is best March–May or Sept–Nov, so plan your visit for comfortable wanderings. #ShanghaiExplore #ChongmingDaytrip #ChineseArchitecture #HiddenGems #tripdotcom
