The words written in front

Although Eagle has been to Shanghai many times, he has never learned about the city in depth, especially some stories about Shanghai's past.
Songjiang District, located in the southwest of Shanghai, is known as the "root of Shanghai." In addition, Eagle's work has not been very busy recently, so he decided to find a free weekend to visit Songjiang. So, there was this two-day and one-night trip.

play routes

Songjiang District has a long history and rich cultural heritage. Naturally, there are many scenic spots, so in the end, Eagle decided to play for two days. I can just arrive on Saturday morning and leave on Sunday evening, two days and one night, no rush or rush, just the right time.
D1: Arriving in Shanghai, check in at Happy Valley and Sheshan National Forest Park in the morning, check in at Forest Hotel for lunch at noon, check in at Guangfulin in the afternoon, and check in at Songjiang Kaiyuan Famous Capital Hotel in the evening.
D2: In the morning, check in to get drunk in Baichi and Yunjian Granary. At noon, Uncle Xiaoye has lunch. In the afternoon, check in to Smurfs and Chenshan Botanical Garden. In the evening, I start returning.

It takes about 40 minutes to arrive at the Happy Valley Scenic Area from Hongqiao Station. The entire Happy Valley is quite large, covering an area of 650,000 square meters and offering more than 100 experience projects. The seven theme areas are Sunshine Harbor, Happy Hour, Shanghai Beach, Shangri-La, Happy Ocean, Gold Mine Town, and Hurricane Bay.

After going through security and check-in, we entered the scenic spot. Although it was relatively early, the entire park was already very lively. The first part to visit is called the Happy Hour Theme Park. There are many projects to play in this park and it is suitable for all ages. Both children and adults can find suitable experience projects.

If you like exciting experience projects, I suggest trying them out. Projects such as Valley Wood Wandering Dragon, Big Pendulum, and Blue Moon Flying Car are definitely exciting enough.

If you like peaceful experience projects, you can also experience them appropriately in Happy Valley, such as merry-go-round, happy face-to-face, fantasy top, and four-dimensional cinema. Parent-child families with children must not miss the bubble experience of interacting with clowns near Shanghai Beach Pier.

The Jinmu Town Theme Park is Eagle's last stop in Happy Valley. Entering Jinmu Town, you can see old trains, simple houses, old gold mining machines, mine caves and some cowboy sculptures. There is a scene like coming to old European and American movies, western cowboy films in the 1970s and 1970s.

Sheshan National Forest Park

In terms of area, Sheshan National Forest Park covers a large area, covering 401 hectares. There are 12 peaks in the park, winding for 13 kilometers.

Because Sheshan National Forest Park is very well-known, many friends who live in Shanghai often come here for outing, outing, etc., so Xiongying also specially came here to visit after arriving in Songjiang this time.

I have to say that it is quite pleasant to climb the mountain leisurely while breathing the fresh air along the tourist trail. When I climbed to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain and looked around, the lush natural environment gave me a really shocking feeling.

guangfulin

Speaking of the Guangfulin ancient cultural ruins, Eagle has been longing for it for a long time, because the core area here-Guangfulin Cultural Exhibition Area, is a triangular roof floating in the water, which looks very creative.

In addition, Guangfulin has a long history. If Songjiang is the root of Shanghai, then Guangfulin is the root of Songjiang. Therefore, it is enough to show the important position of Guangfulin Ruins Park in many scenic spots in Shanghai.

In addition to the cultural display area, there is also a large ancient architectural area in Guangfulin Ruins Park. There are many religious buildings in the ancient architectural area, such as Zhiye Temple, a imitation of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the triple tower, Yao Shun Yu Memorial Hall, etc., which is very suitable for ancient costume shooting.

If you are a friend who likes to read, it is recommended to visit Duoyun Academy in Guangfulin. This academy has a rich collection and can definitely meet the spiritual needs of friends of all ages.

If we start from the predecessor of Zuibaichi, Zuibaichi should be regarded as a classical garden with a history of more than 900 years. Together with Shanghai Yu Garden, Jiading Guyi Garden, Qiuxiapu, and Qingpu Qushui Garden, it is known as Shanghai's five major classical gardens. Today, it still retains very well the Jiangnan gardens of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

On the second day after arriving in Songjiang, we had breakfast at the hotel and went to Zuibaichi Park. Although it rained heavily, it did not affect our enthusiasm for visiting the park at all.

In addition to a large number of ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are many towering ancient trees and flowers and plants such as camphor, privet, and osmanthus in the park. The weather after the rain is very fresh. Breathing the fresh air and exploring among the pavilions and pavilions is really a good travel experience.

Deep in the park, there is also a Dong Qichang Painting and Calligraphy Art Museum. As the former owner of Zuibaichi, having a Dong Qichang Painting and Calligraphy Art Museum here really adds a lot to the cultural atmosphere and heritage of Zuibaichi.

Yunjianliangchang

For those who like to shop for cultural creativity, the Yunjian Granary in Songjiang District is worth visiting. This park was originally a grain warehouse and factory built one after another from the 1950s to the 1990s. It covers an area of 136 acres and a building area of nearly 40,000 square meters, with a total of 59 buildings.

It has only now been opened up as a Cultural and Creative Park. The scale of the park is still quite large. It is divided into an international beer cultural area, an art display interactive area, a coastal living and leisure area, etc. If you are a friend who likes to take pictures in cold metal styles, it will definitely be a great choice to take pictures here.

Smurfs

Maybe my friends who have recently lived in Shanghai have heard of the Smurfs theme park in Songjiang District. Indeed, just recently, the first Smurfs Park in the Asia-Pacific region officially opened, located in the Sheshan National Tourist Resort in Songjiang District, Shanghai.

For Eagle and friends born in the 1980s, the story of the Smurfs is simply familiar. Now that there is such a theme park, of course, you must visit it.

In this theme park, in addition to experiencing many classic scenes in animations, there are also many rides suitable for children and adults to experience, such as bumper cars, roller coasters and the like.

Because a large number of AR interactive experience equipment, holographic projection devices and other facilities are used in the park, the actual experience is really strong, and Eagle really has a deep feeling of enjoying it.

In the deepest part of the Smurfs theme park, there is also a dark laboratory. In the animation, this is the base of Gargamel. But after I really walked in, I realized that it was not scary at all. On the contrary, it felt very interesting, so I specially checked in here to take quite a few photos.

The last stop of this journey is Chenshan Botanical Garden, covering an area of 2.08 million square meters. It is said that Chenshan Botanical Garden is the largest botanical garden in East China and the second botanical garden in Shanghai City.

Eagle thinks that the Botanical Garden has two highlights. One is the mine garden in the northwest corner of the Botanical Garden, which used to be the west mine of Chenshan Quarry. After the renovation, today's mine garden is dotted with waterfalls, natural chases, plank roads, water curtain caves, etc., combined with natural terrain, making it the premier horticultural garden in the country.

The other is the Tropical Exhibition Greenhouse, which is a greenhouse group composed of three individual greenhouses: Tropical Flower and Fruit Hall, Sand Plant Hall and Rare Plant Hall, with a total area of 12608 square meters.

In addition to appreciating many tropical plants, the layout is also very beautiful, which is very suitable for girls to take some Internet celebrity style photos.

① Forest Hotel (lunch)
Forest Hotel is an old hotel integrating accommodation and catering. Because the hotel is built against the mountains, the villas are scattered and the environment is very quiet.
If you go to play near Sheshan, Xiongying suggests that you can go to Forest Hotel and try some of this hotel's signature dishes. Farmhouse dishes such as grandma braised pork, white cut chicken, farmhouse free-range chicken, etc. all taste great and are highly recommended to try them.

② Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel (dinner)
Because I planned to stay in Kaiyuan Mingdu for one night, I decided to have dinner in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. As a restaurant in a five-star hotel, Kaiyuan Famous Capital's dishes are very exquisite, taste good, and are quite cost-effective.

③ Uncle Xiao Ye (lunch)
When you arrive in Songjiang, of course, you must try authentic Songjiang cuisine. Uncle Xiao is an old Shanghai restaurant that is well-known in Songjiang, so Eagle strongly recommends it.
Crab shell yellow and rice field crab hand-made rice cake are two delicious dishes that Eagle prefers.
Crab shell yellow is named because it looks like a crab shell. It is a relatively authentic snack in Shanghai. In addition to the soft shell, it has a feeling of melting immediately in the mouth, and the filling is also very layered. It is four yuan each, so real!
There are many hand-made rice cakes with crabs in the rice fields, and there are many crab cream and crab yellow colors. The best thing is that the hand-made rice cakes are soft, glutinous and delicious. They are not greasy or sticky to their teeth. They are extremely delicious.

accommodation recommendation

Songjiang Kaiyuan Famous Capital Hotel is located on the east side of Kaiyuan Square in Songjiang New City. It has a good location and is very close to Songjiang's relatively well-known scenic spots, such as Happy Valley, Sheshan Forest, Guangfu Forest, Zuibaichi, etc.

In addition, this hotel is only a 30-minute drive from Hongqiao Airport. If you are coming to Songjiang for a trip or vacation, choose this hotel. It is still a very good choice.

useful tips

Epidemic prevention and control: Due to the epidemic, all scenic spots have already started epidemic prevention and control, so you must make an appointment in advance before departure, and also apply for a follow-up application code. When you arrive at the scenic spot, the staff must check it.
Regarding transportation: Urban transportation in Songjiang District and even Shanghai is very convenient, and scenic spots in Songjiang District are also relatively concentrated. It is recommended to choose to take subway, bus, or take a taxi based on the actual time.
