Dongping National Forest Park🌳🍃
Chongming | between dawn and morning dew
Found a fairy flowers in chongming dongping forest park of rv camp for the night
Large 100-day chrysanthemum sea derived into the forest. The morning mist is not dispersed, and the dew is shining brightly. The sunlight of the morning slanted down, as if entering the magical forest in a fairy tale.
Because it was early, before the park was open and the tourists entered, deep down the path, had a quiet morning just for me.

Biking at Dongping National Park - Shanghai
Biking in Dongping Park is a fun activity to do with your friends to enjoy a natural environment outside of the city.
This place is really outskirts of Shanghai, it is important to plan ahead transportation and share a Didi (Uber) as there are not metro station near the park.
It should take you around 2 hours from shanghai with average traffic.
You can rent bikes or electric small vehicles to get around faster to appreciate every corner of this huge park. There are also boats available for rent if you want to spend some time in the lake.
A good time to visit this landmark is in spring time as the place is covered with flowers and all the trees with their foliage. I went late autumn so the trees were already naked (However they still look beautiful)

🍂 Dongping National Forest Park
✅ The Dongping Forest Park, covering an area of more than five thousand acres, is planted with various trees. When autumn comes, the whole park turns into a kaleidoscope of colors, reds, yellows, 🎨 as if you are in the middle of an oil painting!
✅ The park is home to a variety of species such as Acer palmatum, feather maple, Japanese red maple, green maple, Acer mono, Acer pentaphyllum, Acer buergerianum, etc. 🍁 Known for its beautiful maples, clear waters, and rich variety, it has become a preferred destination for maple viewing. Crimson, light red, orange-yellow, everything you can imagine, so beautiful it's beyond description.
✅ The golds of Dongping, dreamy and fantastical, with soft light filtering through, the pale yellow of the dawn redwoods, the golden ginkgos, the leaves casting a mottled shadow on the ground, it's truly breathtaking. 🍂 Walking through the park's dawn redwood forest, the trees and water reflect each other, nature has accidentally knocked over its palette, giving you the feeling of a blockbuster movie scene at a glance!
✅ Inside the park, there are also many fun activities. Families with kids can try the brave's path, while young people can enjoy rock climbing, 🚗 go-karting, grass sliding, and many middle-aged and elderly people practice Tai Chi here, etc. It's a lot of fun and suitable for all ages 🉑.

Shanghai Dongping National Forest Park | The forest oxygen bar, happiness doubled
🚌Transportation in the scenic area: The park is quite large, so it is recommended to use the transportation within the scenic area: bicycles🚲, sightseeing cars, and electric cars are available (I went twice, the first time I didn't finish walking, this time I chose a bicycle😆
🎯Bicycle: 20r/hour. Currently, bicycles can be borrowed and returned at Gate No. 1. There are two types of bicycles, one is a single-person bicycle; the other has a child seat at the back, suitable for children👧
🎯Electric car: can seat 4-5 people, 180r/hour
🎯Sightseeing car: There are several routes, it seems like a round trip is 20r
🎫Ticket: 70rmb (a little cheaper if bought in advance)
🅿Parking: 20 yuan/time
Attraction introduction:
✅Peacock Flying: At 10:30 in the morning and 2:00 in the afternoon, there will be peacock flying shows🦚. If you miss the flying time, you can also feed the peacocks in the Peacock Garden. The peacocks here are not stingy with their displays, it was exciting to see seven or eight peacocks fanning their tails in front of me for the first time🥰. The peacock feathers are really beautiful. Worth a visit👍
✅Deep in the Forest, Deers Appear: I saw online that at 10:45 there is a sika deer parade under the long corridor🦌. We arrived late and didn't see it😭, but you can also see sika deer in Deer Music Park. You can buy a bag of deer food (10 yuan/bag) to feed them.
🦌If you're lucky, you can see free-roaming deer in the forest.🚴♀This time, while biking on a deserted path, we saw three or four sika deer foraging in the forest🦌. The location where we saw the deer📍was at the intersection of Maolin Road and Rose Road, we didn't dare to disturb them and just quietly watched them eat leaves, which was very interesting.
✅Metasequoia Forest: There are many straight paths lined with metasequoia trees in the park. Very profound and atmospheric.
✅Fern Garden: A fern version of the Enchanted Forest, complete with various dinosaur🦕 models, feels like stepping into Jurassic Park😆.
✅Jian-6 Fighter Jet: A first-generation supersonic jet fighter✈ hidden in the metasequoia forest, forgot to take pictures.
This summer, come to Dongping National Forest Park. Few people and nice scenery, suitable for vacations, suitable for picnicking with friends. Seek the deer hidden deep in the forest🦌, watch the peacocks flying onto the branches🦚, take a deep breath in the metasequoia forest, the forest oxygen bar, happiness doubled...

The Dongping Forest Park:
With an area of over 5,000 acres, Dongping Forest Park is planted with various trees. It's not an exaggeration to say that the density is almost the same as that of Daxinganling! It's worthy of being called a forest park, and from the data, it's also the largest plain artificial forest formed in East China.
Location: No. 2188, Beiyan Road, Chongming District, Shanghai
Tickets: 50 yuan for adults, 20% off for 60-65 years old, free for 65 years old and under 6 years old
The first thing to do when entering the park: rent a car (Gate 1)
①Young and energetic people can rent bicycles, the forest is dense + wisteria corridor, it won't be very hot in summer
②If you bring the old and the young, rent an electric car, !!

Peacock Garden: There are really a lot of peacocks, the first time to experience feeding peacocks, 10 yuan/2 packs of feed, the price is good, peacocks are not afraid of people, I don't know if it's the food they see or smell, they jump directly out of the fence to eat, I asked the staff, the peacock will open its screen during the mating season, usually in May-June, come again next time, finally, don't forget the souvenirs, peacock feather hair clips 40 yuan/piece, peacock feathers 5 yuan/root
Deer Park: You can also buy deer fairy shells, 10 yuan/pack, and have a close contact with the little deer
Summer is the season of lotus flowers, although there are not many lotus flowers in the lotus pond here, but there is a stone slab in the middle, it's interesting to walk along

Chongming Island in the north of Shanghai is the third largest island in China, second only to Taiwan Island and Hainan Island. This island retains the original ecological environment and has no high-rise buildings. It is a beautiful natural scenery. From the Shanghai area, passing the Yangtze River Tunnel and the Yangtze River Bridge, it can be reached in more than an hour. This is the back garden of the Shanghainese.
Dongping Forest Park is a favorite leisure place for Shanghai people on weekends. The predecessor of this forest park is Dongping Forest Farm, with an area of 5,400 acres. It is the largest plain artificial forest in East China. Come on holiday on weekends, stroll through the tall metasequoia forest, and there are many play projects for parents and children.
The hot summer is coming, and the forest is undoubtedly the ideal summer resort. Whether it's walking or cycling, or taking a sightseeing train, the temperature here is significantly lower than the urban area, full of green.
There is a barbecue area in the park, which is suitable for family, friends or families to come and make delicious food. The fun of harvesting has long surpassed the delicious food itself.
There are nearly a thousand species of plants in the park. The tall metasequoia and cedar are neatly arranged. The scenery varies from season to season, and the color changes with the season. This is one of the few metropolises in Shanghai that can feel it. A place where the forest breathes.
water amusement parks, grass skiing, rock climbing, egg shooting, horse riding and other rides are all available. Even if you don't do anything, watching the blue sky and white clouds on the big lawn is also a pleasure.
