It had been raining for several days, but it finally turned cloudy. I got up early and set out. The sky was high and the clouds were clear. I went hiking in the suburbs and climbed mountains in Songjiang. Songjiang has 12 peaks of various sizes from northeast to southwest, including Beigan Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, Yuping Mountain, Shegong Mountain, Dongshe Mountain, Xisshe Mountain, Chenshan Mountain, Zhongjia Mountain, Tianma Mountain, Xiaoji Mountain, Hengyun Mountain, and Xiaokunshan Mountain. Compared with the famous Sheshan Mountain, Tianma Mountain has much fewer tourists. If you want to find a clean place on the outskirts of Shanghai to climb and visit ancient times, Tianma Mountain is the best choice.

Itinerary: City--Jiuting Town--Sijing Town--Sheshan Town-Tianma Mountain Town

Distance: About 70 kilometers round trip

Highlights: Qibao Ancient Town, Sijing Ancient Town, Yuehu Sculpture Park, Happy Valley, Maya Water Park, Tianma Mountain

The most beautiful tree-lined cycling road, with dense jungles, green lawns and open rivers along the way, you can enjoy the spring and autumn fruits, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, and feel the unique charm of "slow life".

Linyin New Road starts from Shenzhuan Highway in the south and ends in Jiasong South Road in the east, with a total length of about 4 kilometers.

The greenway connects Sheshan Station of Rail Transit Line 9, Sheshan Golf Course, Yuehu Sculpture Park, Happy Valley, and Maya Water Park.

Tianma Mountain Park is located about seven kilometers southwest of Sheshan, adjacent to Chenshan Botanical Garden. Tianma Mountain is about 99.8 meters above sea level. It is the highest mountain in Shanghai. It has lush vegetation and a quiet environment. It is the mountain with the largest forest area and the highest altitude among the nine peaks and twelve mountains in Sheshan. The mountain is shaped like a pegasus with wings ready to fly, so it is called Ganshan, and later renamed Tianma Mountain.

Tianma Mountain has a long history and a gathering of people. In ancient times, there were also moments of "high glory". At that time, it was still a famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. On the mountain, there are Chaozhen Taoism, Dongyue Palace, Yuanzhi Religion, etc. There are extremely rich incense, so it is also known as "Burning Incense Mountain."

In the former site of Shangfeng Temple, there is a statue of Guanyin decorated with gold and copper. The original bronze statue was enshrined in Shangfeng Temple during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It was smuggled into Japan during the Japanese occupation and set fire to Shangfeng Temple. The current bronze statue was recast and opened by a master of sex repair from Xilin Temple in Songjiang.

In the middle of the mountain behind the temple, there is a thousand-year-old leaning tower called the "Zhuzhu Baoguang Tower". It was built by Xu Wenquan from Hengshan Township in the second year of Yuanfeng of the Northern Song Dynasty (1079). It has been 915 years old. The tower has seven levels and eight sides., more than 20 meters high. Although the tower body is small, it stands tall in the mountains and is extremely tall and beautiful. Due to changes in the foundation, the tower body gradually tilted towards the southeast. The tower body tilts to 6 degrees 53 minutes, which exceeds the leaning tower of Pisa, Italy. It is known as the "No. 1 leaning tower in the world".

I never knew that in Tianma Mountain in Songjiang, Shanghai, there was an ancient tower more inclined than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy.

There is a ginkgo tree more than 700 years old in the Pearl Tower Park. The branches of the ancient tree are claw-shaped, echoing each other. Local people say that ancient ginkgo trees are the hand of gods, supporting the pearl protection tower tilted and not falling down; it is also said that if you nail a nail on the tree trunk, you will get seeds. Therefore, later generations nailed a large number of nails on the tree, causing the trunk to Most withered.

At the front end of the tower, there is an ancient well called Shangqingquan. It looks small and inconspicuous, but it is the legendary "fourth spring in the world". The water coming out of this well is extremely sweet and sweet. In ancient times, monks used to collect water and drink here. The well platform has been ground deep marks by hemp ropes for drawing water. When Zhongfeng Temple was destroyed, the monks used to cover it with stone slabs, but now it has been cleaned and restored.

Liuyun Pavilion overlooks the forest. It feels different from other Chinese pavilions I have seen in the past. Unfortunately, it is closed now and I cannot visit the pavilion.

There is also an inconspicuous cave on the mountain that you can explore in the dark.

Rock walls, deep valleys, strange rocks, distinctive miscellaneous wood forests and bamboo forests in the park, as well as wild chrysanthemums, wild raspberries, lycoris, etc. all over the mountains and wild constitute the unique natural landscape of Tianma Mountain full of wild interest.

Walking on the mountaineering path, you will find dense bamboo forests, lush trees and verdant trees, and even have the feeling of blocking the sky and the sun.

The last time I rode to Tianma Mountain Park, although it was not far from Guangfulin Ruins Park, there was limited time and too much time to go. In addition, there were many things to see in the Ruins Park, so it would take at least half a day, so I chose another day to ride to Songjiang.

Itinerary: City-Jiuting Town-Sijing Town-Sheshan Town

Distance: About 60 kilometers round trip

Highlights: Guangfulin Cultural Heritage Park, Guangfulin Country Park, Chenshan Botanical Garden, Songjiang University Town

Guangfu Forest in Songjiang, the root of Shanghai, dates back to the Neolithic Era. In addition to the site, museums and other display areas have also been opened in the scenic area to introduce history, humanities, unearthed cultural relics, etc.

The underwater exhibition hall of Internet celebrities is naturally a must-see. The entire exhibition space is set underwater, and pyramidal roofs float in Fulin Lake, integrating with the surrounding environment to outline a beautiful picture.

Based on the concept of "journey in time and space" and combined with modern audio-visual technology, the exhibition hall designs scenes such as the archaeological memory of Guangfulin, the evolution of Shanghai's land, the arrival of ancestors 'activities, the formation of city characteristics, the prosperity of Songjiang County, the rise of Shanghai's city, and the move towards the future. Let tourists experience and read the civilized history of Shanghai in a time tunnel.

The Cultural Exhibition Hall is an underwater building in an artificial lake. It displays Guangfulin culture and antique traditional commercial districts in the form of sound, light, electricity, wax figures, etc., and displays the life at that time. It is also very interesting.

Bone needle Square, one of the landmarks of the ruins park, stands a stone pillar shaped like a bone needle in the center. The prototype is an important cultural relic unearthed from the Guangfulin site and a bone needle created and used by ancestors more than 4,000 years ago.

The site company has built many temples and Taoist temples. It must be said that this is a cultural display point, displaying China's religious culture.

The Songjiang Chenghuang Temple Site is located outside the gate of Chenghuang Temple in Huating Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai City. It was built in the third year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty and is now moved to the courtyard.

In the standard layout of the Guandi Temple, a Guanyu Temple solemnly guards the peace of all directions.

The Master of the Sanyuan Palace worships the Three Official Emperors of Heaven, Earth and Water. As a display of the temple, the layout here is still quite regular. The three-step layout of the Lingguan Hall, the Changsheng Hall, and the Three Official Hall, and the side halls are the Finance Hall and the Cihang Hall, which is considered complete.

Zhiye Zen Temple is located in the ruins park and was rebuilt to commemorate the good deeds of Zen Master Zhiye who practiced medicine and saved people among the people of Songjiang. The reconstruction of the Zen Temple aims to promote the compassion and virtue of the ancestors, so that future generations can remember forever, imitate ancient virtues, and inspire future learning.

Walking through the traces of history and walking through the entire ruins, cultural relics everywhere tell the story of Shanghai, entertaining and educating.

Along the way, I saw many archways and buildings that were no less than any ancient town style

In the scenic area, various Hui-style buildings in the ancient town style street have been built, which is very interesting. However, some shops affected by the epidemic have not opened their doors, hoping for a more lively scene in the future.

The core ruins area of Guangfulin is this farmland. The excavations on the bottom floor are quite rich, spanning thousands of years, and now serves as a display area for various plants.

Songjiang Urban Development Planning Museum will be relocated to the Heritage Park

Newly built resort hotel in the park (not yet open for business)

Behind Guangfulin Ruins Park is Guangfulin Country Park

A good place for outing and outing is built around the five core elements of "fields, water, roads, forests and villages". It is based on the agricultural ecological natural landscape and consists of four major sections: agricultural garden picking, fruit forest scenery, wetland fishing villages, and camping bases.

The park has a large idyllic scenery, and it has a unique flavor to walk around.

The roads near Songjiang are very suitable for cycling. The surrounding scenery is pleasant, surrounded by mountains and rivers, shaded by trees, and breathing fresh air while riding a bicycle makes people feel relaxed and happy. Ride and stop immediately, and you can go hiking at any time.

In addition to its cultural history, monuments and miracles, it also has original natural scenery. The bamboo forests across the mountains are deep and secluded, and there are many types of plants. It is full of vitality and wildness. Walking on the mountain path, you can still hear the crisp chirping of birds from time to time. Everything looks the most natural. Sheshan Tourist Resort is really a treasure place. You can not only visit the past, but also explore the past. Personally, it is a place worth visiting.
