Youbinjiang Forest Park
Binjiang Forest Park is located in the Waigaoqiao area of Pudong, where the Huangpu River injects into the Yangtze River. There are two parks at the mouth of the Huangpu River, and there is a Battery Bay Park in Baoshan District on the other side. I have also been there.
Binjiang Forest Park is far away from my residence. The route given on the map is to take the subway first and then the bus, and you have to change. I changed to a more reasonable plan: take Metro Line 8 and change to Line 3 to Songbin Road Metro Station, then ride a bicycle to Wusong Ferry Station, take a ferry to Sancha Port Ferry opposite, and then ride from Sancha Ferry to Binjiang Forest Park. The last part of the journey is a bit far, so you can also take a bus.
Walk across a bridge on Suzhou River, take the subway on Qufu Road and successfully reach Songbin Road Subway Station. After exiting the station, find a small yellow car and ride to the ferry station.
Take a ferry across the Huangpu River. Today's weather is excellent, visibility is high, and the river is calm. You can see Wusong Port Wharf from afar from the ferry.
The boat reached the opposite bank in five minutes. After landing, I rode my bicycle again and headed straight to the park.
Binjiang Forest Park has a large area and excellent greening. Looking up, you can see the tall trees towering into the sky, and the green leaves are made even greener with the blue sky as the background. Coupled with the strong sunlight, they are even greener. Under the big tree are shrubs and grass flowers and ferns. Lower down is the grass. From top to bottom, you can see green everywhere.
I came to a place with an aquatic plant park written on the map, but a brick wall had been built here to cut out a piece of the park. Outside the wall was a construction site, which seemed to be building a building that had nothing to do with the park. There is only one very narrow stream left in the aquatic plant park. There are small fish in the stream and a small number of aquatic plants on the water and surface, mainly calamus and copper coin grass.
The place I want to go most is the Yangtze River, where there is a scenic avenue. On the way, I passed the barbecue area, which was filled with smoke and noisy people. It was the noisiest place in the park. I came to the suburbs to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but I don't like eating barbecue in such a noisy place.
The scenery on the viewing avenue is indeed extraordinary. The view here is extremely wide. In addition, the weather is fine and the water and sky are in the same color, so you can see far away places. Ships, large and small, come and go, making them relatively busy. On the other side of the Huangpu River on the left is Wusong Battery Bay Park, which I visited in spring. There is an international cruise terminal there, and two giant cruise ships are currently docked. My parents will come to Shanghai in a few days to take a cruise with friends. It is believed that the cruise ship they took docked here.
Moving your gaze to the right, you can see a beautiful white lighthouse in the center of the river. A row of wind turbines appeared further away, all of which were large windmills with white leaves. There is Changxing Island. The landscape avenue is actually a river embankment, and you can go down to the river bank. There are no beaches here, and the nearby river banks are full of wave-proof devices. In addition, the river water is turbid, so I don't want to go down to the river. On the river bank in the distance is the Waigaoqiao Port Area, where warehouses and cranes in the port area can be seen.
The distance from the river bank to Changxing Island has greatly exceeded the distance between China and Russia in the Heihe River section of Heilongjiang, but this is only one-fifth of the width of the Yangtze River estuary, which shows the width of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, such a wide area is difficult to show in photos. I took a panoramic photo, and the effect seemed to be better.
Walking east along the landscape avenue, there are many roses and roses on the river embankment. Taking photos of these flowers with the blue sky and Yangtze River as the background worked well.
Walk to the end of the landscape avenue and turn into the park. It was early, but there were not many attractions and facilities in the park. Considering that it would take a lot of time to return, I walked in the direction of the gate.
Near the park gate, there is a large lawn with a good view. Many people set up tents on the grass, and kite-flying is the main activity here. There are already many kites flying in the sky. The blue sky, green grassland and colorful kites are really a beautiful picture.
Beyond the big lawn, there is a sunflower garden. Unfortunately, due to the season, the flowering period of sunflower is coming to an end. Fortunately, there are still some flowers. Coupled with the slanting sunlight, the petals are golden as if they will shine. It really became a little sun.
Further ahead is a rose garden with wooden arches and sheds. Roses bloom a lot, but they are obviously not as gorgeous as spring roses. There is a small forest train passing by here.
After leaving Binjiang Forest Park, I originally wanted to take another route and go back from Pudong. But the nearest subway station over there is about six kilometers away, which is a bit far away. The main reason was that he had been wandering outside for several hours and his physical strength was limited. So it was decided to return the same way.
Although the journey was not long, it used a variety of transportation: walking, subway, bicycle, and ferry; and saw three rivers: Suzhou River, Huangpu River, and Yangtze River. It can be regarded as colorful.
