Gongqing Forest Park is rich with autumn colors, with maple leaves and ginkgo trees dyed golden

Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park is in full autumn splendor! At this time of year, the charm of Jiangnan's autumn is vividly displayed here, with shallow wetlands hidden among the grass and trees, sunlight blending with the colorful autumn hues, creating a wild and natural atmosphere. The maple leaves blaze like fire, the ginkgo trees turn golden, and the plane trees are frosted, spreading layers of autumn colors. A gentle breeze stirs, bringing a soft autumn feeling. The nearly 300-meter-long cherry blossom avenue in the park is famous for spring, but the forest scenery in autumn is equally enchanting. Cherry blossoms scatter among the woods, set against a backdrop of a thousand-acre forest, offering a unique charm. The park also features hills, large lawns, lakes, and streams, providing a tranquil environment. Visitors can row boats on the lake to enjoy the peace; or barbecue and horseback ride to experience the wild fun; and also enjoy entertainment like pirate ships and shooting games. Additionally, the park regularly hosts multiple themed cultural events each year, such as seasonal flower exhibitions (spring flower show, summer fragrant plant exhibition, autumn Shanghai chrysanthemum exhibition, winter daffodil exhibition), as well as the Urban Forest Carnival and Beer Festival during National Day, and the Forest Music Festival in late October. Come to Gongqing Forest Park to enjoy the autumn colors, play activities, savor culture, and experience a grand autumn feast!
