The ceiling of Shanghai Maple Appreciation is beautiful even on cloudy days
I've been to the sea of flowers for two consecutive weeks. Two weeks ago, I encountered good weather and caught the tail end of this year's harvest season. A week later, the bright red maple leaves seamlessly came online‼️
🍁This time I happened to go on a cloudy day, without the sun, the leaves don't shine, and there are no beautiful light and shadows. I originally thought that the photos would definitely be unbearable, but I didn't expect the effect to be not bad! There is a romantic feeling in the cloudy day! And the leaves under the cloudy sky, the color looks more saturated and deeper!
🍁The maple leaves are mainly concentrated in the "Autumn Scenery Garden", and the best viewing period will last until the end of December. It is located on the west side of the sea of flowers, not far from the entrance. The main varieties are Acer palmatum, American red maple, and triangle maple. They have not completely changed color, but I think the current interlacing of red, yellow and green is the most beautiful! Under the trees along the lake, there are also many boats, benches and other props for everyone to take pictures, which adds points to the shooting scene.
🩷In addition to maple leaves, there are several seas of Zui Butterfly flowers in full bloom now, which is also one of my favorite flowers. The rose red is very eye-catching!

It is a comprehensive park integrating ecological protection, leisure and sightseeing, and popular science education.
When you enter the ecological park, the first thing you see is the rolling green mountains. The vegetation is lush and the air is fresh, as if you have entered a natural oxygen bar. There are all kinds of plants planted here, from precious and rare plants to common flowers and green plants. They grow together here and form a colorful ecosystem.
Every spring, the ecological park is even more beautiful. Various flowers are blooming, and the colorful sea of flowers is dazzling.

Cotton clouds, watery pink, anime green, Jinshan here is colorful
Don't want to go too far? Want to get close to nature? The heat is in full swing, and everyone must be looking for a good place to relax and cool off in or around Shanghai.
Now, in Jinshan, there is such a place where you can do some outdoor activities in the summer, the Flower Sea Ecological Park. Here you can ride horses and have a barbecue, row a "boat" on the lake, and follow a guide to explore the small woods (of course, some activities require a fee)...
Let's talk about the main attractions here:
1️⃣ The ecological park is filled with various lotus flowers and water lilies. You can walk or ride to the Plum Garden and Autumn Scenery Garden. In the small rivers or ponds here, you can see a large area of blooming lotus flowers, perfect for photography 📷 or pure enjoyment.
2️⃣ In the Plum Garden and Flower Sea area, the Verbena bonariensis is in full bloom. The flower stems stand upright, and the purple flowers are surrounded by golden halos. It's quite dreamy.
3️⃣ The highlight is here. It is the sea of Kochia flowers that plant enthusiasts look forward to seeing every year. The Kochia seedlings 🌱 are now in the accelerated growth phase of green leaves. Currently, the entire flower sea area is covered with green balls, with 300,000 Kochia plants forming 19 petals, extending in all directions.
The viewing period for green-leaf Kochia will last from early August to the end of September. The viewing period for red-leaf Kochia will last from October to mid-November. During this period, they will change from small to large, from green to red, with different viewing forms in different cycles, which is quite interesting.
4️⃣ For visitors with kids, don't worry about them getting bored. Just book a plant study class in advance, and the little ones can burn off a lot of energy 🔋. Follow the park guide to find insects and watch birds in the woods, transplant plants in the flower room, and print your own plant T-shirt. All are possible.
Here are some tips:
🅿️ Parking: Lots of parking spaces, free of charge
✈️ Aerial photography: You can fly a drone for aerial photography
🏕️ Camping: You can bring your own tent and canopy for camping, cassette stoves are allowed

Entering a Fairy Tale World in Shanghai's Summer - Huakai Haishang Ecological Park
Blooming sunflowers 🌻 and endless green kochia make you feel like you've stepped into a fairy tale world at first glance.
This park is one of the few attractions that I can't forget. If it weren't so far from the city, I would visit at least four times a year to experience the natural beauty of different seasons.
Address: Huakai Haishang Ecological Park, Zhujing Town, Jinshan District
Time: 8:00-17:00 (Operating hours may be extended during certain periods, so check before you go)
Activities: You can bring your own tent for a picnic (it can be very sunny in summer), rent a bike, enjoy the scenery, have a picnic, and take lots of beautiful photos.
Tips: Many people visit for the kochia, but it is usually planted from late summer to early autumn. Initially, it is green, and by late autumn, it reaches its best viewing period with a mix of fiery red and golden colors. Wear your white dresses, and you'll look like little angels descended to earth. Additionally, tickets can be cheaper online than on-site.
——————————
Here is our simple two-day itinerary in Jinshan. It takes at least an hour and a half to drive from the city, so make the most of your trip by visiting nearby attractions.
Day 1: Wake up naturally and drive to Donglin Temple in Zhujing Town. This temple is really magnificent, and photography enthusiasts will love it! After a thorough visit, explore the nearby ancient town. By then, it will be around five or six o'clock.
Accommodation: Hengshan Yiju, Huayang Tuohu B&B
Although it's a B&B, it's a chain, and I recommend choosing a ground floor room with a small courtyard. The courtyard has tables, chairs, and small lights, so you can order takeout and chat under the stars at night.
Moreover, this B&B is right across from the entrance of Huakai Haishang Ecological Park, just a three to five-minute walk away.
Day 2: Have a leisurely breakfast at the B&B, then take a stroll to the park and enjoy the early morning when it's not crowded. Take deep breaths of fresh air. By the time you finish exploring, you'll encounter the crowd entering the park.
Check out at noon and drive to the Pujiang First Sight attraction (from Jinshan to Songjiang), which takes about 35 minutes. This attraction is currently free and is the zero-kilometer starting point of Shanghai's mother river, the Huangpu River, adding to the knowledge of your hometown for the kids.

Go, the largest ground cover park in Asia
It was popular on social media, and I originally wanted to go last year, but on the one hand, the journey was far, and on the other hand, I was in the late stage of procrastination. Just a few days ago, a friend drove there, and I hitched a ride for a small tour. It is indeed far, it feels even further than Suzhou, but the advantage on weekdays is that there are not many tourists, and the experience is very good.
The eco-park is quite large, with sunflowers, gesang flowers, pink muhly grass... Of course, the most popular is the ground cover, which is said to be the largest in Asia, and I believe it~
From mid-October to early November each year is the best time to view the ground cover. Seeing the ground cover for the first time, red and green alternately, round and round, well trimmed, excellent for taking soap and checking in.
Flowers bloom on the sea, apart from the distance, there is nothing wrong, it is worth a visit.

Weekend Outing - Seaflower Ecological Park
Caught the last day of the Plum Blossom Festival to enjoy the plum blossoms here.
The parking lot of the ecological park is quite spacious and free, and it is also equipped with several charging piles, which is very friendly to tourists.
In mid-to-early March, only the plum garden is available for enjoyment here, where the plum blossom forest is thriving, and the plum scenery is eye-catching, truly making the trip worthwhile.
However, the Cherry Blossom Valley is disappointingly bare, and it's surprising that the cherry blossoms aren't blooming at this time; I wonder what variety they are and when they bloom.
Other gardens need to be visited according to the seasonal blooming period. Looking at the guide manual, the most variety of flowers bloom in October and November, so it might be good to come back then.
The whole park is not very large, and it's suitable for a 2-hour stroll, so whether to rent a bicycle depends on personal preference.
The park is suitable for picnics and enjoying nature while sitting on the ground in good sunlight is also wonderful.

Hurry over here to catch the last chance for plum blossoms, or wait another year
🌸 The plum blossoms by the sea truly live up to their reputation.
📸 Taken on 2024.3.2
👍 Pros:
✅ The plum garden is vast, with a large area covered.
✅ There are not only a large number of plum blossoms but also a wide variety of species. There are red and white plum blossoms, offering a rich palette of colors.
✅ Seats and small boats are set up for photo opportunities.
✅ There is an observation deck for easily capturing drone-like perspectives.
✅ There's a small river that allows for reflection shots, offering more possibilities.
✅ Due to the large area, the crowd can spread out, so the density of people is not high, and having one plum tree per person is definitely not a problem.
✏️ Cons:
➡️ The scenic elements are not diverse enough, mainly repetitive, which can lead to aesthetic fatigue after a while. It would be better if paired with some architecture.
➡️ Currently, only the plum blossoms are in bloom, the tulips seem to have just been planted and are still bare.
➡️ It's too far away...
✏️【Practical Information】
🌹 The Plum Blossom Festival lasts until 3.10, so those who want to enjoy the plum blossoms should hurry, it's the last week.
🌹 Ticket price: 30 yuan
🌹 Duration: 2-3 hours

📍Detailed address: No. 6060, Xiujing Group, Daijing Village, Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai
🏔Tickets: Children are free, adults are 30 yuan/ticket, people over 60
🌟Attraction introduction: The scenic area is composed of four parts: flower sea, plum garden, fragrant flower garden, and autumn garden.
The plum garden and cherry blossom garden are suitable for viewing in spring, so I won't write about the spring guide in this article.
The main viewing points in autumn are the flower sea and the autumn garden.
1. Flower Sea
🗓Viewing time: Late September to mid-October, with more than 10 varieties of flowers such as Gesang flowers (Persian chrysanthemums, sulfur chrysanthemums), Mexican sage, zinnia, thousand-day red, sunflowers, etc.
🗓Viewing time: Late September to mid-October, the ground skin grass changes color, during which it will be green, yellow and red. The ground skin covers 200 acres, about 400,000 plants. This year (2023) the ground skin is planted near the starry lawn
🗓Viewing time: Late October to early November, the ground skin grass turns red, and the red all over the mountains and plains seems to be in a fairy tale. Generally around November 10th, it will be harvested, so don't miss it.
2. Autumn Garden
🗓Viewing time: Mid-November to mid-December, the autumn garden is most suitable for viewing in late autumn. The autumn garden consists of maple forest path, maple leaf island, starry lawn, knight park, and autumn maple pavilion. There are more than 20 kinds of autumn leaf trees in the garden. In late autumn, the garden is full of colorful leaves, like a knocked over palette, competing for beauty.
🌟Tour route:
1. If you come to play from mid-November to mid-December, go to the autumn garden first (turn right about 50 meters straight after entering the door), and then go to the starry lawn to rest at noon, and then go to the flower sea to see the ground skin in the afternoon.
2. If you come to play from late September to mid-October, go to the flower sea first, see the sage -> sunflower -> some Gesang flowers, and then go to the starry lawn to rest at noon, and go to see the ground skin -> Gesang flowers in the afternoon

Shanghai Blooms on the Sea | Hurry up~ The ground skin is about to enter the best viewing period
🌸The largest scale of ground skin flower sea in Shanghai
The dwarf and chubby ground skin will turn from green to red in autumn, and the color will get deeper and deeper as time goes by. However, I think the best time to view and take photos is now when it is red and green, which is more colorful and layered.
🌸Ground skin viewing time
Every year from late October to early November, when the sunset light is the most beautiful, you can set the shooting time between 4 pm and 5:30 pm.
🌸Shooting outfit reference
In the case of colorful background, try to choose light-colored plain clothes. In addition, a flowing large skirt will add points when taking pictures!
🌸Recommended shooting angle
Pure ground skin + more shots of characters will be more monotonous, you can try to add some other elements
1⃣Find a tree in the flower field, standing next to the tree has a movie poster feel
2⃣Look at the photographer across the water, the picture with some water scenes is more lively
3⃣Find props, there are white windmills, white benches, swings and other props in the flower field that are very photogenic, but there are many people during the afternoon peak, you need to be patient to find or wait
4⃣Friends without drones can bring a telephoto lens, there is a high platform on both sides of the flower field, which can make the photographer feel more from the high place

You can't miss the hidden version of the glazed maple leaf tunnel in the blooming sea! Attached is a photo guide
You can't miss these two hidden versions of the glazed maple leaf tunnel!
It's not an exaggeration to say that the Blooming Sea Ecological Park is the ceiling of maple viewing in the magic city!
🍁Apart from being far away, the autumn scenery here is absolutely stunning! More than 10,000 maple trees from green to golden, and then to deep red, they are poetic and picturesque, drawing a most beautiful autumn color scroll.
🍁There is a maple leaf tunnel inside and outside the park, the maple trees on both sides wrap the path tightly, the sunlight passes through the tree gaps, red, orange, yellow, green, different colors of maple leaves suddenly become transparent like glass, colorful, dazzling.
🍁We immerse ourselves in this maple forest, feeling the magic of nature. Each maple leaf has its unique shape and color. Recording it with a camera is a respect for the beautiful scenery.
📌TIPS：
1⃣The maple leaf tunnel outside the park is on the small road on the right side of the entrance, about 100 meters away. There are few people here and the scenery is beautiful. We took pictures for nearly 2 hours on a weekend morning. (Picture 1-8)
2⃣The maple leaf tunnel inside the park is in the deepest part of the Autumn Scenery Garden. When we went there, it was still green and red, and it is estimated that it will gradually turn yellow and red this week.
3⃣There are also white moons and small white boats, white wooden chairs in the Autumn Scenery Garden, which are very photogenic with the rainbow-colored maple leaves.
4⃣The Meladerm color series of dresses are a perfect match with the maple leaves.
📷Suggestions for avoiding crowds and taking pictures:
1⃣Get up early: We arrived at more than 8 o'clock, there was no one in the tunnel outside the park, and we took pictures for nearly 2 hours, and there was still no one. At that time, there were not many cars in the parking lot, and there were few people in the park.
2⃣Low angle shooting: You can avoid the tourists on the road, and the background is still full of maple leaves (Picture 19)
3⃣The model stands next to the maple tree on the side of the road, the photographer shoots diagonally in the direction of the model from the other side of the road, or shoots at a low angle slightly inward on the same side (Picture 18, 19)
4⃣Sit or stand next to the maple tree by the water (Picture 16, 17)
5⃣Wait: Wait for the tourists to pass (Picture 15, 20)
Go to the blooming sea to take your autumn blockbuster!

Blossoms on the Sea|Share wonderful moments with TA!!!
Last year, after seeing such a large field of ground skin flowers in the Blossoms on the Sea Ecological Park in Jinshan, I have been longing for it and definitely can't miss it this year! I had already agreed with my friend that we would come this year. Seeing online that the ground skin flowers have reached the best viewing period, I immediately bought a ticket to Jinshan without saying a word and fulfilled my dream!
Jinshan Town, Zhujing Town, Blossoms on the Sea Ecological Park, Shanghai
Friends in Shanghai suggest driving by yourself, it's about 3
kilometers from Jinshan North Station, and it takes half an hour to get there from Hangzhou East High-speed Railway~
Best photo spot
There are many white chairs in the park, using the location can create a layered feeling, and the illusion of being surrounded by ground skin flowers! It is recommended to find a chair on the slope for a more layered feeling~
There is also a small river in the park, if it is backlit in the afternoon, it will have a sparkling effect, and the photos will look better!
The ground skin flower turns from green to red every autumn. If we go now, the two colors will be more rich. In a few days, it will turn all red which is also very cute. This is like a fairy tale world, it's so beautiful! Please note that after it turns all red, it will be harvested, so try to go in early November~
My camera this time is still Canon 5D4, the lenses are
50+70-200, the telephoto lens is used more! In addition, there are paths to walk between the flowers, find a location to block the road and it will look like you are surrounded~
Travel guide
1Young people are recommended to walk and watch, if you are not in a hurry, you can also take pictures of other flower seas, in addition to the ground skin sea, there are sunflower seas and so on~
2Cycling: Paid double bicycles and four-person bicycles are provided, and if you don't want to walk, you can also take a sightseeing car
3The scenic area is very large and a bit difficult to shoot, it is recommended to go early
Other travel tips
1The ecological park is very large, if you want to stay in it for a whole day, you can bring some food and water to maintain shooting strength, because there is almost nothing to eat and drink in the scenic area.
2From 12 noon to 4 pm, the sun in the ecological park is still very strong, you can do sun protection and wear sunglasses.
3Since it is ecological, it is best to bring your own mosquito bite medicine.
4Do a good job of leaving no trace, protect the natural environment, everyone has a responsibility!

🍂 On sunny days, you can't miss the colorful season.
🏞Flower Sea Ecological Park, it is said that the Kochia here has already turned red. Immersed in the 200-acre flower sea composed of 600,000 Kochia, surrounded by fluffy, round and purple plants, it's like a dreamland, so beautiful that it makes people dizzy.

📝Note tips:
✅The best viewing period for Kochia is from mid-October to mid-November, if you want to see the beautiful scenery of Kochia, you need to hurry up.
✅The viewing location of Kochia is in the Fragrant Flower Garden.
✅In addition to Kochia, the butterfly bush, Gesang flowers, chrysanthemums, and sage at the corner of the road are trying hard to bloom their own brilliance before the arrival of winter.
✅The pink muhly grass on the side of the reed flower road at the entrance of the park has just passed the flowering period, and there is still some charm.

Pink ocean, perfect encounter.
Pink ocean, perfect encounter.
Like chasing flowers, then chase thoroughly.
A light shade of pink, it only blooms in the best season when it's neither too hot nor too cold in the year.
As for me, I naturally have to come as scheduled.
Meeting my favorite flower, I feel delighted.
Eyes can never see enough, so record more for future reminiscence.
Taste. A pink ocean. A perfect encounter in early summer.

The sea is the ceiling for the beauty of the Yu Meiren when flowers bloom.
This place is too beautiful! It stunned me! The small hill of mixed colors of arrowleaf and cornflower, like a perfect oil painting! I regretted not going earlier because I thought it was too far. Let's go, family! The Flower Ocean Ecological Park is a hidden treasure.
At the same time, there are also red poppies and pink baby's breath flower fields in full bloom! The red poppies and cornflower flower fields are in the "Fragrant Garden" area, while the pink baby's breath flower field is in the "Flower Sea" area, which is relatively large and can be rented for bicycles or sightseeing cars.
