Hidden in Shanghai, the "Wizard of Oz"—Muzhong Landscape Garden invites you to encounter the poetic and picturesque dream of Jiangnan!

— In the bustling and noisy Shanghai, there is such a place like a paradise on earth. Muzhong Landscape Garden is like a lost pearl, leading you into the poetic and picturesque dream of Jiangnan! 🔥 Why has Muzhong Landscape Garden become a hidden gem and must-visit spot in Shanghai? ❶ Immersive Jiangnan Garden Experience Stepping into the garden feels like traveling back to ancient times. The pavilions and towers are arranged in a charming way, winding paths lead to secluded spots, and artificial hills and ponds complement each other perfectly. The exquisite carved window frames seem to tell ancient stories. Walking along the winding paths, you hear the babbling water, and before your eyes are colorful flowers, plants, and trees, as if you are inside a stunning Jiangnan ink painting. ❷ High Photo-Op Rate for Check-ins Every corner here is an excellent photo backdrop. Whether wearing traditional Hanfu in front of the antique buildings or capturing natural moments among the flowers, you can take stunning photos. Especially on sunny days, sunlight filters through the leaves, casting unique light and shadow effects on the ground, adding an artistic touch to your pictures. ❸ A Quiet and Pleasant Leisure Destination Away from the city's hustle and bustle, you can fully enjoy the tranquility and comfort in Muzhong Landscape Garden. Find a pavilion to sit in, brew a cup of tea, read a book, or daydream, allowing your body and mind to relax completely. Or stroll along the lakeside, watch the fish playing in the water, and feel the beauty of nature. 📍 Insider Tip: One-Day Tour of Muzhong Landscape Garden 📅 Morning: Enter the Garden and Enjoy the Scenery ▪️ Enter through the grand entrance gate, where the magnificent architecture first catches your eye. Follow the main path to visit various attractions, such as the elegant pavilions and the serene bamboo forest. You can overlook the entire garden from the pavilion and experience the unique charm of Jiangnan gardens. 📅 Noon: Taste Local Cuisine ▪️ Enjoy authentic Jiangnan dishes at the garden’s restaurant. Savor the food while admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window for a special experience. 📅 Afternoon: Photo Session + Leisurely Walk ▪️ Change into beautiful clothes and start your photo session. Choose different scenes like flower clusters, lakeside, and ancient buildings to capture photos with various styles. Then, take a leisurely walk along the lakeside and enjoy the gentle breeze.

Chongming Planning Exhibition Hall

Shanghai adventure alert 🚀🌱! On my latest trip, I wandered off the city's usual tourist trail and found myself at the Chongming Planning Exhibition Hall. This spot blends stylish modern architecture with a peek into local development and boasts pretty gorgeous scenery if you need an escape from Shanghai’s skyscrapers. Must-See: Chongming Planning Exhibition Hall 📍 Address: No. 7918, Chongming Avenue, Chongming District, Shanghai Opening Hours: Typically 9:00-17:00 (double-check before you go!) The hall itself is super photogenic—think intricate display models, decorative patterns, and creative lighting. Bird lovers, keep your eyes open for the themed outdoor spaces featuring local wildlife! While inside, don’t miss a close-up look at the detailed exhibition features, each telling a story about Chongming’s growth and cultural vision. Top Tip: The overall vibe here is peaceful, and the scenery outside the hall is well worth a slow stroll (perfect for an outdoor moment or snapping those IG-worthy pics). Spend a bit of time soaking it all in, then grab coffee at a nearby café for a real local break. Getting There: Public transport via Metro Line 1 then local bus is budget-friendly but takes some time; taxis or ride-hailing from central Shanghai are faster if you’re feeling impatient. Refreshments: Pack some snacks or grab a bite at local eateries on Chongming Avenue—simple but tasty Chinese fare is everywhere, so don’t miss out! Extra Hack: No visa stress if you’re already in China. The weather is best March–May or Sept–Nov, so plan your visit for comfortable wanderings. #ShanghaiExplore #ChongmingDaytrip #ChineseArchitecture #HiddenGems #tripdotcom
