Welcome to travel check-in

Self-driving: Navigate to the park's P1 or P2 parking lots (affordable parking fees). It is recommended to arrive before 9:00 AM on weekends and holidays. Afterwards, you need to transfer to the park shuttle bus (round trip about 20 yuan) or rent a bicycle to enter the core area. - Public transportation: Take Metro Line 17 to "Oriental Land" Station, then transfer to Jinze Route 7 or Qingpu Route 28 to "Qingxi Countryside Park" Station. The frequency is low, so please check the schedule in advance. Core highlights and tour route: The park's core is the Water Forest (Taxodium forest). The most beautiful season is late autumn to early winter (late November to December), when the cypress trees turn red, creating a picturesque scene. In summer (June to August), it is lush and green, suitable for escaping the heat, and many bird species inhabit the area. Recommended half-day essential tour route: Visitor Center → Take the electric cart directly to the Water Forest → Stroll along the boardwalk for sightseeing (about 1-1.5 hours) → On the return, you can choose to walk or cycle, visiting Lianhu Village and enjoying the rural countryside scenery along the way. If you have a full day, you can explore Lianhu Village, the reed wetlands, and the cypress avenue in depth, or camp on the lawn (if permitted). Practical tips: 1. Reservation: It is recommended to book in advance through official channels during holidays to ensure entry. 2. Clothing: Be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes; most paths are flat. 3. Food and drink: There are few dining options inside the park, so it is recommended to bring water and simple meals. There are farmhouse restaurants available in Lianhu Village. 4. Best time: Visit early in the morning or on weekdays for a quieter experience. Summary: Qingxi Countryside Park is an excellent place to experience the natural charm of Shanghai. Plan your trip well and enjoy the beauty of wetlands and forests!
