What are some scenic self-driving routes around Shanghai?

I have experience with this, because I have traveled by car with my friends before. After playing in Shanghai for a while, I made a guide to visit the surrounding places in Shanghai. I found that there are two routes with quite good scenery. , share it with you.

Route 1: Dalian Lake? Qingxi Country Park? Zhujiajiao Ancient Town

Route 2: Yuandang Bridge? Jinze Ancient Town? Baoguo Temple? True Love Pier

You can see beautiful scenery on both routes. It was summer when I traveled, and I heard that it will be even more beautiful in autumn! Let’s talk about the attractions on the first route:

Route 1 plan: Dalian Lake? Qingxi Country Park? Zhujiajiao Ancient Town

Let’s talk about two must-visit attractions along the way. :

1. Qingxi Country Park?

Address: Western Dianshan Lake Wetland

Tickets: Free

Opening hours : 8:30-16:30?

Recommended tour time: 2-4 hours?

Qingxi Country Park has the famous water forest, with the same appearance and scenery. The beauty of waiting. Even in the hot summer, walking in the water forest feels very cool, and the whole person feels calm immediately. Dalian Lake is full of lotus and water lilies, which is particularly beautiful. The park is full of small forked roads, and walking along them often makes you feel like you are in another village.

2. Zhujiajiao Ancient Town

Address: Junction of Xinfeng Road and Meizhou Road, Zhujiajiao Town

Tickets: Free

Opening hours: All day?

Recommended tour time: 1-2 hours? Pet-friendly?

If you choose an ancient town from the Magic City that is closest to the Jiangnan water town, it is definitely It's Zhujiajiao. No matter day or night, Zhujiajiao is beautiful and charming. Fangsheng Bridge is the best vantage point in Zhujiajiao, but the alleys and lanes of Zhujiajiao are also full of surprises, and Zhujiajiao’s pickles are also unforgettable! The ancient town is completely pet-friendly, and puppies can travel freely as long as they do not enter the attractions inside. ?

The scenic spots on the second route are also very beautiful. You can connect the two routes in series. Go to the first route on the first day, and continue to the second route on the second day!

Route 2 planning: Yuandang Bridge? Jinze Ancient Town? Baoguo Temple? True Love Pier

Such a beautiful attraction must not be missed. The key is that it is free of charge and you must stop. Check in ~ recommend 3 attractions:

1. Jinze Ancient Town?

Address: No. 235, Jinxi Road, Jinze Town?

Tickets: Free

?Opening hours: all day?

?Recommended tour time: 1-2 hours?

If Zhujiajiao is the closest to the Jiangnan water town, then Jinjiajiao Zegu Town is closer to a fishing village and water town. There are very few people in the entire ancient town, all of them are indigenous people. There is almost no commercial atmosphere, and it is very pleasant to walk in it. I really like the feeling of sitting by the water in a daze, and looking at the ancient bridges left over from ancient times is even more unique.

2. Dianshan Lake Baoguo Temple

Address: Dianfeng Village, Zhujiajiao Town

Tickets: Free

Opening hours : 7:30-16:00?

?Recommended tour time: 1-2 hours?

Baoguo Temple stands very grandly by the lake, and its yellow wall is also very conspicuous. The nearby environment is relatively simple, with the feel of a modern small village. You can find some suitable places to camp or have a picnic by the lake. The recently popular internet celebrity check-in spot is right behind Baoguo Temple. When the weather is nice, there are a lot of movies!

3. True Love Pier?

Address: Huanhu Avenue, Dianshanhu Town, Suzhou City

Tickets: Free

?Opening hours: all day?

?Recommended tour time: 2-4 hours? Pet-friendly?

Although it is located in Suzhou, my most recommended place to visit is Dianshan Lake True Love Pier. Dianshan Lake here is so artistic, with rainbow roads, endless lakes, and lonely trees. Netizens say it feels like a small Kamakura. I think it feels very much like Erhai Lake!

Tips for traveling:

The sunset and night view of Zhujiajiao Ancient Town are very beautiful. If you have enough time, you can consider spending the night here.

True Love Pier is very suitable for camping and barbecue. You might as well bring some ingredients to camp here!

When traveling by car on these two routes, remember to choose a time when the weather is good, because this is the time when filming is best. If the weather is bad, the scenery will be mediocre.
