Two-Hour Autumn Viewing Route in Downtown Shanghai

At the intersection of Yan'an Elevated Road and the North-South Elevated Road, the four quadrants form Shanghai's most central urban oasis. The seasons change, each with its own charm. I often stroll here, letting my steps flow slowly along the shaded paths. This can truly be called Shanghai's "Central Park." Looking up, you see skyscrapers surrounding you; looking down, it feels like being in a deep, quiet forest sanctuary. It is late autumn. Sunlight penetrates the layers of tree canopies, casting dappled golden shadows in the woods. Walking here, your eyes feast on a golden carpet paved with brilliant ginkgo leaves, fiery maple leaves swaying gracefully in the autumn breeze, colorful and stunning beyond words. It almost makes you forget you are in Shanghai. Yet you will also marvel, "This is truly Shanghai." In recent years, Shanghai's garden design has made leaps and bounds. Only in Shanghai can such a cleverly arranged, layered, and mountainous landscape be created in such a prime, expensive location. As you move and change scenes, the visual layers are rich and three-dimensional; seemingly natural, but actually crafted with ingenuity, every detail carefully sculpted and cleverly arranged. The only downside is that Shanghai’s most beautiful season often comes with air pollution, reminding friends to remember to wear masks when going out to enjoy the autumn. 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 1 and Line 14, Huangpi South Road Station, Exit K11 Jinling East Road Bus 71, Chengdu North Road Station 🌳 Main Attractions: Yanzhong Green Space: Shangxin Lake (Photo 2) Large Lawn (Photo 4) Square Park: Changqiao Clear Water (Photos 1, 6) Floral and Faunal Delights (Photos 5, 7) Fudeli Park: Waterfall Landscape Fragrant Flower Steps (Photo 8) Wooden Boardwalk (Photos 10, 11) Forest-style Community Service Station Adorable Cats 🐱 ⏰ Recommended Visiting Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM (Best Lighting)
