Climb to the top along the 368 steps of East Sheshan Trail to overlook the city and the magnificent view of the flower sea. - **New View of the Quarry Garden**: In 2025, a new quarry waterfall night light show will be added, with water flow and projection intertwined to create a "mountain forest illusion". 2️⃣ **Integration of Humanities and Nature** - **West Sheshan Observatory**: The observatory with a century-old history has an interactive science exhibition. Climb to the top for a panoramic view of Songjiang (ticket price: CNY 12). - **Sheshan Basilica**: A church that integrates architectural styles from many countries, with Gothic spires colliding with Chinese glazed tiles, is suitable for shooting religious aesthetic blockbusters. 3️⃣ **Parent-child Wild Fun Experience** - **Forest Bath**: East Sheshan has a bamboo maze and picnic area. Tents can be rented (CNY 50/set) to enjoy the afternoon in the forest. - **Pet-Friendly Day**: Happy Valley linkage activity, take your furry kids to participate in the parade interaction (reservation required in advance). 💰**Consumption Guide** Free admission (adjustment of the original ticket policy, a "National Spring Outing" benefit for the people will be launched in April 2025) *Voluntary consumption items*: Observatory ticket CNY 12, tent rental CNY 50, AR guided tour glasses CNY 30/day. 🌸**Deep Experience Cheats** 1️⃣ **Travel at Off-Peak Hours** - Enter the park on a working day from 7:00-9:00 when the morning mist has not yet dissipated to enjoy the bamboo forest light and shadow and birdsong. - It is recommended to go to West Sheshan after 14:00 on weekends to avoid the peak of family tourists. The spire of the church is gilded at dusk, which is excellent for photography. 2️⃣ **Photography and Dressing** - **Hidden Spots**: The fork in the road at the South Peak of East Sheshan, use a telephoto lens to capture the city skyline in the bamboo forest; - **Dress Suggestions**: Light-colored Hanfu or Mori-style long skirts, matched with woven bags, blend harmoniously with the natural background. 3️⃣ **Linked Logistics** - **Guangfulin Cultural Relics Site**: Take bus No. 98 (CNY 2) in the evening to take pictures of the waterfront reflections and the light and shadow of ancient buildings. - **Chenshan Botanical Garden**: A 15-minute drive away, the cherry blossom tunnel and Sheshan orchid shoots form a "dual flower tour" experience. *When the morning mist flows through the forest, and the bells of the century-old church intertwine with the electronic sound of AR navigation, Sheshan in 2025 is reshaping spring with a "symbiosis of tradition and technology" - it is not only the only mountain forest secret in Shanghai, but also a poetic original home for urban people to live in for a short time. 💡**Secret Realm Easter Egg** ▸The Sheshan Half Marathon course on April 13 runs through the flower sea, and you can sign up for the 5 km parent-child group.

Sheshan Basilica

At the top of She Hill in Sheshan Park, Shanghai, stands the Basilica of Our Lady of Sheshan, a large Romanesque structure built in the 1920s (replacing an earlier church from 1863.) It is in the large Sheshan National Forest Park, a huge outdoor area in western Shanghai including an amusement park, resorts, a planetarium and other attractions. I visited on a Sunday which was both Qingming Festival and Easter Sunday, so it was predictably busy, but only the initial climb up the hill was really crowded. Avoid this set of stairs (leading from the entrance gate) and climb from the east side, which has a gentler ascent and the Stations of the Cross along the way. Enjoy the relatively fresh air, fine view and many trees as you walk around the park. You can take the metro to Sheshan Station, from which point there are free shuttles. I opted to walk and it took about an hour from the metro station to West Sheshan Park where the basilica is located. From this side you can also get a city bus to the line 17 station, from which point I continued to Zhujiajiao, which is only a few stations further along. #LeaveYourMark #qingmingtravel #lightthecity #urbanexplorer #shanghai #park #forest #china
