The layers of trees in Shanghai People's Park are dyed in autumn colors, revealing an irresistible autumn romance!

Introduction The autumn atmosphere in downtown Shanghai is always hidden around some corner. People's Park quietly amazes the entire season with a visual feast of layered autumn foliage. There is no distance like the suburbs, only the brilliance within reach. Autumn Viewing Map: Stroll through a colorful painting The autumn colors of People's Park are a carefully blended palette of nature. From Wutong Avenue to the central waterscape, every step is a scenic view. Best autumn viewing route (about 1.5 hours in total): Main park entrance → Wutong Avenue → Nanshan Bamboo Grove → Lotus Pond → Central Lawn → Fitness Trail Must-visit photo spots: Wutong Avenue: Golden wutong leaves weave an autumn corridor, with sunlight filtering through the gaps casting mottled shadows Nanshan Bamboo Grove: Red maples and green bamboo complement each other, creating an excellent photography backdrop By the Lotus Pond: Withered lotus and colorful trees on the shore reflected in the water, full of poetic charm Autumn Limited Experiences A must for photography enthusiasts The soft light from 7 to 9 a.m. is best for capturing the delicate texture of autumn leaves. It is recommended to bring a telephoto lens to compress space and create an atmospheric effect. Parent-child nature class Introduce children to more than 10 species of color-changing trees: sweetgum, ginkgo, Chinese tallow... Make crafts with fallen leaves for an educational and fun experience. Urban mindfulness journey Avoid weekend afternoon peaks, enjoy the tranquility of a corner of the lawn, and feel the Zen of falling autumn leaves. Practical Information Best viewing period: mid-November to early December Opening hours: All day (lights on until 9:00 p.m.) Admission: Free Transportation guide: Exit 11 of People's Square Station on Metro Lines 1/2/8, 3-minute walk Nearby recommendations: Morning: Autumn viewing at People's Park → Noon: Special lunch on West Nanjing Road Afternoon: Visit Shanghai Museum exhibitions → Evening: Bookish tour on Fuzhou Road Travel Tips More fallen leaves after rain, recommend wearing non-slip shoes There are tea rooms and rest areas in the park for energy replenishment anytime To avoid crowds, it is recommended to visit on weekday mornings
