Weekend Outing Spot: Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park

👀 Gongqing strikes again❗🎇 The spirea blooms are now online! With a bonus photo guide😎 Indeed😲, the top-level park in Shanghai is none other than Gongqing👍 While everyone is competing over cherry blossoms🌸 and tulips🌷 Gongqing's spirea takes a unique path😜, once again attracting everyone's attention👀 📍 Gongqing Forest Park 🚶 Spirea navigation location: Crabapple Flower Path🤩 🎫 Free, no reservation needed😃 🕟 West gate opening hours 5:00-19:30 (After 18:00, only the big lawn area is available) 🚇 Take subway line 8, get off at Shiguang Road Station exit 2, ride to Baicheng Road, walk 200 meters over the overpass to reach the west gate///or get off at Nenjiang Road Station exit 2, ride to reach the south gate🚲 💌 Tour Guide🎈 ❗ The spirea is located in the center of the park, so the distance from the east, south, and west gates is about the same. Remember to navigate to 'Crabapple Flower Path' after entering the park😉 😲 The spirea is not just a few small clusters, but a path several hundred meters long, spectacular like a waterfall🎉 🌧 The weather in March is unpredictable with occasional rain, and spirea is one of the few flowers that can look beautiful with or without sunlight🌈 📸 Photography Tips🤳 😜 The spirea blooms are very dense, capable of burying a person within, as if embracing spring🌸 🎉 You can bring a transparent cup, place the small flowers on the water surface, creating a unique interest😜 🌞 If the weather is clear, try to let the shadow of the flowers cast on your skin, and nature will outline a beautiful painting🎨 👑 Also known as willowleaf spirea, its slender branches are very suitable for various interactions with hands🤝 📚 Books and straw hats are also great props🎩 💍 Twine the small flowers into a ring, creating an atmosphere full of literary and artistic freshness🎀 💐 Other flowers in the park🌻 🌼 The February orchids have all bloomed! Spread throughout the park, there are horizontal logs in the 'Late Cherry Forest', where I took many beautiful photos (I will post a separate note guide later), 'Horse Racing Field', 'East Gate Flower Sea' also have large patches of February orchids💐 🥰 The poppies at the East Gate Flower Sea are currently 50% blooming, today they are fenced off, making portrait photography a bit difficult, but the February orchids next to it are available for photos🤗 🎆 Currently, the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms are 30% blooming, there are quite a few along Cherry Blossom Avenue, and they are also scattered around💐 😘 The weeping crabapples and spirea are in the same location, now 20% blooming🤗 🥀 The magnolias and plum blossoms are nearing the end, but you can still sporadically see some🌼
