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

Self-driving tours are a good choice now. There are many tourist attractions suitable for self-driving day trips around Shanghai. We recommend that friends go to Wusongkou Pao Taiwan Wetland Forest Park and Dongtan. Wetlands and other scenic spots to visit, see below for details. 1. Wusongkou Pao Taiwan Wetland Forest Park

Learn history and find wild fun

Shanghai Wusongkou Pao Taiwan Wetland Forest Park was officially opened to the public on July 1 last year. It was built on the Yangtze River On the riverside tidal flat where the two waters of the Huangpu River meet, this area has been backfilled with steel slag since the 1960s, so it is also called the "Garden on Steel Slag" and is currently the largest wetland park in Shanghai. The Qing government once built a naval fort here, so it was named "Paotai Taiwan". There is nearly 2 hectares of lawn activity area in the park, which is very suitable for kite flying, picnics and other outdoor activities. In addition, there are slides, swings, sand pit crawling and other facilities suitable for children, as well as a large spider web climbing clue tower with a height of about 6 meters 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 Songbao Road - drive to the end and turn left to Tanghou Road - No. 206 Tanghou Road (Park).

●Transportation Guide

After getting off at Haijiang Road on Route 952, walk southeast for about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the park. Take Route 90, get off at Songqing Road, walk north along the road, turn right at Shuangcheng Road, turn right at Tanghou Road, and reach the park. Take Rail Transit Line 3 and get off at Songbin Road Station. You can take a taxi to the park.

●Reason for recommendation

The nearly 2-kilometer-long river bank, as well as the forests and wetlands formed by thousands of trees, have retained the original ecological environment, which is ideal for people living in reinforced concrete every day. It is still worth a visit for city dwellers, and there are not many people who know it so far, so it will not be too crowded. You can also enjoy the aquatic flora such as reeds, wild rice, sagittaria, etc. after retreating there, and look for small tidal flat animals such as crickets, which also has a unique sense of wildness. Sometimes you can see flocks of seagulls, egrets and other water birds. 2. Dongtan Wetland

Relaxing and Happy Reed

Dongtan is the largest wetland in the Yangtze River Estuary. Dongtan faces the river and the sea, with flat terrain and vast land. It is an island-type ecology A resource area with tourism development value, Dongtan Bird Nature Reserve is an important habitat and wintering ground for global migratory birds. The total number of birds accounts for 70% of the bird species in Shanghai, many of which are rare and endangered species under key protection in my country and internationally. Every spring and autumn, 2 to 3 million migratory birds come here to live and overwinter, forming a bird paradise, especially a large number of rare birds

●Self-driving routes

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

●Transportation Guide

Take a boat from Wusong Wharf or Baoyang Wharf to Bao Town, and then take the Bao Front Line to Dongtan.

●Tips

The bus ferry queues are very long on weekends, so be sure to get there early. In addition, if you don’t have enough time in a 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 cabins are refreshing and can keep you away from the hustle and bustle for a while. If you are lucky, you can also see migratory birds coming to rest here. I heard that the sunrise in Dongtan is particularly beautiful. If time permits, you must go and see it. 3. Dongping National Forest Park

If you don’t want to go to Dongtan, you can also visit Chongming Dongping National Forest Park. There are lawn skating fields, paintball fields, rock climbing walls, cruise ship piers, barbecue areas and other entertainment projects in the park.

●Reason for recommendation

The air in the park is fresh and it is known as a natural oxygen bar. There is really no reason for city dwellers to be able to breathe such fresh air.

●Transportation Guide

Take the Shenchong Line at the North District Bus Station, or the Nandong Line or the Nanjiang Line at the Chongming South Gate Bus Station to reach Dongping Forest Park. 4. Nanhui Flower Port

Chinese and Western Flower Viewing Field

Shanghai Flower Port is located in Nanhui Donghai Farm, Shanghai. It is adjacent to Shanghai Pudong International Airport to the north and Shanghai Yangshan Deep Water Port to the south.

●Transportation Guide

Century Park Metro Station-Shidong Line-Donghai Farm

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

●Reason for Recommendation

Why not take this long vacation to visit the park? There are still some things worth seeing, such as: Flower Science Museum, Ecological Garden, Glass Greenhouse Production area etc. If you like flowers, you can buy some plants at the flower supermarket and take them home to plant, such as anthurium and pineapple. 5. Donghai Bridge

●Self-driving route

Urban area - Lupu Bridge - Pudong - Jiyang Road - A20-A2 Hunan Highway - Donghai Bridge Toll Station

●Reason for recommendation

The Donghai Bridge is my country’s first offshore cross-sea bridge and 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 towards the sea from the approach section, we can only see the winding shape of the bridge, but we cannot see it from end to end, which is a bit regretful. You can also drive to Yangshan Port and experience the atmosphere of a modern port at the observation deck. 6. Wildlife Park

●Reason for Recommendation

my country's largest national wildlife park covers an area of ??153 hectares and is 35 kilometers away from the urban area. The park brings together more than 200 representative rare animals from all over the world, including tens of thousands of animals, including giraffes, zebras, antelopes, rhinos, etc. from abroad, as well as my country's first-level protected animals: giant pandas, golden monkeys, South China tiger, Asian elephant, etc.

When visiting the park, tourists can enter and walk into two major visiting areas. The entire park is divided into a herbivore breeding area, a carnivore breeding area, a flamingo area, a free-range animal area, a waterfowl lake and a rare animal breeding area, an aviary, a butterfly garden and a children's petting garden, as well as animal performances.
