You're missing out if you don't visit this place in Shanghai.

Shanghai's autumn exclusive! This "Monet Garden" style is not to be missed! 🍂 As October draws to a close, Shanghai has quietly donned its autumn coat. The Monet Garden in Gongqing Forest Park has once again captured the city's attention with its stunning beauty. However, on the other side of the city, there is another hidden gem that will steal your heart. 🌸 Compared to Monet Garden, this place is more like a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki anime. The hills are covered with adorable kochia, and colorful cosmos and zinnias sway gently in the breeze. The river flows gently, the trees are lush, and pets frolic freely, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Lying on the grassy hillside, time seems to stand still. 🌺 Currently, the cosmos are in full bloom, and the kochia are starting to change color, with 10-20% of the leaves already tinged with autumn hues. In the next week, the area will display a stunning gradient of red and green, and by mid-November, the kochia will be completely red. Personally, I find the red and green phase the most enchanting, and the cosmos are also in bloom, adding a touch of romance and poetry to the scenery. 📸 Additionally, there is another place worth visiting nearby - Donglin Temple in Zhujing Town, which is awe-inspiring with its grandeur. • 📍 Location: Huakai Haishang Ecological Park ⏰ Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 🎟️ Ticket price: CNY 30 🐾 Pet-friendly: Pets are allowed in the park 🚇 Transportation: • From downtown Shanghai, take Metro Line 1 to Lianhua Road Station, transfer to Lianzhu Express Bus, and ride for about 50 minutes to Zhujing Bus Station.
