💙【Recommended Check-in Spots】
-
🛖 Popular Blue Cottage (Huiyin Blue House)
Enter from Gate 3 and walk straight for 5 minutes; by the lake are two fairy-tale-like blue cottages! On sunny days, the lake reflects the blue sky, making it feel like Santorini Castle. Wearing white clothes is recommended, and the light is softer after 3 PM.
-
🌷 Oil Painting Tulips (Blooming until early April)
The tulip fields in front of the blue cottages are in full bloom! The entire circular path is planted with tulips, featuring two background color combinations: yellow-purple and red-yellow.
Velvety pink tulips paired with European-style architecture create a Monet garden vibe in every snap, making it the star spot in your social circle!
-
💐 Magnolia Path (Mid-March to end of March)
This park has the most magnolias in Shanghai‼️ White, pink, and purple magnolias are everywhere, with few people and dense flowers, so no need to fight for a spot.
A gentle breeze makes the petals sway romantically in the wind~ but some petals have started to fall, so hurry if you want to see them this week!
-
🌼 Golden Rapeseed Flower Sea (Mid-March to early April)
From Gate 3 towards the children's playground, there is a large rapeseed flower field! Wooden boardwalks wind through it. Remember to bring a bubble machine to enhance the atmosphere; light-colored dresses and straw hats make for great photos.
