Where is the best place to go for a one-day self-driving tour around Shanghai?

Self-driving travel is a good choice now. There are many tourist attractions around Shanghai that are suitable for one-day self-driving tours. It is recommended that friends go to Wusongkou to visit Taiwan Wetland Forest Park, Dongtan Wetland and other attractions. See below for details.

1. Wusongkou Pao Taiwan Wetland Forest Park

Learn about history and find wild interests

Wu Songkou Pao Taiwan Wetland Forest Park in Shanghai last July 1 Ricai was officially opened to the outside world and was built on the riverside beach where the Yangtze River and Huangpu River meet. This area has been backfilled with steel slag since the 1960s, so it is also known as the "Garden on Steel Slag" and is currently the largest wetland park in Shanghai. The Qing government once built a naval fort here, hence the name "Quntai Province". There is nearly 2 hectares of lawn activity area in the park, which is very suitable for kite flying, picnic and other outdoor activities. In addition, there are slides, swings, sand pit crawling and other facilities suitable for children, as well as a spider web climbing clue tower about 6 meters high suitable for teenagers.

Self-driving route

Yixian Road Elevated (get off at Songbin Road)-Songbin Road-turn left at the third traffic light to Mudanjiang Road-turn right at the third traffic light to Songbao Road - drive to the end and turn left to Tanghou Road - No. 206 Tanghou Road (Park).

Transportation Guide

Get off at Haijiang Road, Route 92, and walk southeast for about 15 to 20 minutes to the park. Take Route 90, get off at Songqing Road, go north along the road, turn right on Shuangcheng Road, turn right on Tanghou Road, and you will reach the park. Take Rail Transit Line 3, get off at Songbin Road Station, and take a taxi to the park.

Reason for recommendation

The nearly 2-kilometer-long river embankment, as well as the forests and wetlands formed by thousands of trees, all retain the original ecological environment, which is ideal for people who live in reinforced concrete every day. For urbanites, it is still worth a visit. And there aren’t many people who know about it so far, so it won’t be too crowded. You can also enjoy aquatic plants such as reed swamps, wild rice, and arrowheads. After retreating from North Korea, there is also a sense of wildness in finding small animals on the beach. Sometimes you can see flocks of seagulls, egrets and other water birds.

2. Dongtan Wetland

Spiritual Reeds

Dongtan is the largest wetland in the Yangtze River Estuary. Facing the river and the sea, the terrain is flat and the land is vast. It is a resource area with island-type eco-tourism development value. Dongtan Bird Nature Reserve is an important habitat and wintering ground for migratory birds around the world. The total number of birds accounts for 70% of Shanghai's bird species, many of which are rare and endangered species under national and world key protection. Every spring and autumn, 2-3 million migratory birds come here to spend the winter, forming a paradise for birds, especially a large number of rare birds.

Self-driving route

Urban area-Yixian Elevated-Tongji Road (A30 Highway)-Lu Baoyang-Lu Baoyang Wharf-Car and Passenger Ferry-Baozhen Wharf-Baozhen South Road -Baozhen North Road-Chenhai Highway-Beichen Highway-Dongwang Road

Transportation Guide

Take a boat from Wusong Pier or Baoyang Pier to Paotai Town, and then take the Fort Front Line to Dongwang beach.

Tips

There are long queues for bus ferries on weekends, so we have to catch up early. In addition, if you don’t have enough time in one day, it is recommended to stay at Dongtan International Conference Center. The environment is very clean and the hardware is good.

Reason for Recommendation

The wooden trestle stretching deep into the wetland, the endless reeds, and the unique huts are refreshing and can temporarily keep you away from the hustle and bustle. If you are lucky, you can also see migratory birds roosting here. I heard that the sunrise in Dongtan is particularly beautiful. If time permits, we must go and take a look.

3. Dongping National Forest Park

If you don’t want to go to Dongtan, you can also go to Chongming Dongping National Forest Park. There are grass skiing, paintball field, rock climbing wall, cruise terminal, barbecue area and other recreational projects in the park.

Reason for recommendation

The air in the park is fresh and it is known as a natural oxygen bar. City dwellers really have no reason to breathe such fresh air.

Transportation Guide

Take the Shenchong Line at North Bus Station, and take the Southeast Line or Nanjiang Line at Chongming South Gate Bus Station to Dongping Forest Park.

4. Nanhui Flower Port

A flower viewing venue combining Chinese and Western styles

Shanghai Flower Port is located at Donghai Farm in Nanhui, Shanghai. It is adjacent to Shanghai Pudong International Airport to the north and Shanghai Yangshan Deep Water Port to the south. There are 3.2 million flowers planted in the park, including 2.2 million tulips, 500,000 daffodils and 300,000 hyacinths. Phalaenopsis gate, traditional Chinese wooden bridge, Xiaoxi Lake landscape mountain, white artificial waterfall, ecological garden, tulip goddess, Dutch windmill, etc. Create a rich pastoral style in the garden.

Transportation Guide

Century Park Metro Station-Shidong Line-Donghai Farm

Tourist Line 2 (Wantiguan)-Nanhui Huinan Town-South Third Line - Donghai Farm

Reason for Recommendation

Why not use this long vacation to visit the park? There are also some things worth seeing, such as the flower science museum, ecological garden, glass greenhouse production area, etc. If you like flowers, you can also buy some plants at the flower supermarket and take them home to plant, such as anthurium, pineapple, etc.

5. Donghai Bridge

Self-driving route

Urban area - Lupu Bridge - Pudong - Jiyang Road - A20-A2 Hunan Highway - Donghai Bridge Toll Station< /p>

Reason for recommendation

China’s first sea bridge, the Donghai Bridge, is very spectacular. If you don’t have time to go there, you might as well take some time during this long vacation to appreciate its magnificence. However, looking at the sea from the approach section, we can only see the winding posture of the bridge, but not the end-to-end connection, which makes us feel a little regretful. You can also drive to Yangshan Port and go to the observation deck to feel the atmosphere of a modern port.

Reason for suggestion

China's largest national wildlife park covers an area of ??153 hectares and is 35 kilometers away from the urban area. There are more than 200 representative rare animals in the park, including giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and rhinos from abroad, as well as China's first-level protected animals: giant pandas, golden monkeys, South China tigers, Asian elephants, etc.

Visitors enter and step into two major visiting areas while in the park. The whole park is divided into herbivore breeding area, carnivore breeding area, flamingo breeding area, free-range animal area, waterfowl lake and rare animal breeding area, bird garden, butterfly garden and children's pet garden, with animal performances.
