The wildest autumn secret in the Magic City: when the maple leaves turn red and strawberries are gearing up｜Jinshan Langxia Countryside Park

The first love letter was written by the maple leaves And I met Shanghai’s last poetic autumn at Jinshan Langxia Countryside Park 【A poetic boundary at the city’s edge】 Push open the bamboo fence gate and step into another world Underfoot is the rustling straw path The scent at your nose is a mix of straw, roasted sweet potatoes, and strawberry vines No glaring electronic screens Only crooked handwritten wooden signs: "Free admission • Strawberries in December" Address: No. 9133 Caolang Highway, Jinshan District, Shanghai (Navigate to "Langxia Countryside Park East Gate Parking Lot") Recommended by car: a hidden paradise just 1 hour away Tickets: Completely! Free! (Parking lot/viewing platform all free) 【Maple Leaf Island｜The best spot in Shanghai with few people】 Now is just the peak of the red leaf season (around 11.25) The Chinese tallow tree is as red as spilled red wine The sweetgum is bright red like candied hawthorn Every snap looks like a screenshot from the movie "Little Forest" Photo tips: ① South bank waterside platform for water reflections ② Sweetgum forest to capture falling leaf trails (turn on live mode!) ③ North bank viewing pavilion frames the "redwood + egret" composition (Warm reminder: shaking trees to pick leaves is prohibited, but you can collect fallen leaves to make bookmarks) How wild is this park? - Average daily visitors <800 (neighboring park has 12,000+) - Zero surveillance cameras throughout the park (only security cameras at entrances) - WiFi signals are deliberately weak (truly isolated from the world) 【Strawberry season spoiler】 A sweet sequel is coming in December!
