Once Phase II is completed, the entire Suzhou Creek walkway around SkyPark will be fully connected. Tips: 1️⃣The Thousand Trees Cherry Blossom Season Market runs from March 21 to April 13.

Shanghai's environmental management of the Suzhou River is one of the most effective environmental protection projects in recent years. At least the former "Little Black River" had nothing to do with words like "ecological park"! The [Environmental Theme Park] on the Suzhou River is a testament to the management of the Suzhou River. The [Dream Clean Pavilion] in the park also records the serious pollution of the Suzhou River in those years and the history of river management over the years. If you are interested, you can visit the pavilion. The main body of the park is an [artificial wetland] that can store and filter water by itself. The huge "regulating tank" hidden 6 meters underground is also ingeniously extended with more than 20 ventilation pipes, allowing visitors to listen to the "tinkling" of the underground water network through the pipes. The many flowers, plants, and trees in the park are not only for viewing, but they are also part of the ecological grid, purifying the water quality flowing through the park. The [aerial waterway] surrounded by trees is a concrete representation. In addition to the standard park features of green grass and water, the park also has its own island and pier. Although the [Big Fish Island] is only a few dozen steps long, it is the "largest island in the Suzhou River". The [Yulan Pavilion] on the island is the "highest point" in the park (it is said to be 8.4 meters, but the platform where people can stand is only on the second floor, at most 3 meters). As for the [Dream Clean Source Pier], the boats docked here are not ordinary park boats, but [Suzhou River Sightseeing Boats], which connect the entire river route from "Bund Source" to "Changfeng Park". Whether you disembark here to visit the park or start your Suzhou River "loop tour" from here, visitors to Dream Clean Source will have more fun!

The two Suzhou River cruise piers that have been unveiled each have their own characteristics. The Dream Qingyuan Pier is located in the Dream Qingyuan Eco-themed Park with a greening rate of over 80%, near Jiangning Road Bridge. While touring the Suzhou River, citizens can also disembark to experience the profound cultural heritage and strong artistic atmosphere along the coast.

|Dream Qing Garden by the Suzhou River. After the meal at Tianan Thousand Trees, I walked home along the Suzhou River and found that the promenade south of Changhua Road Bridge has been completed, and you can directly enter the Dream Qing Garden, so I went in for a walk. I haven't been here for a long time, and there have been changes inside. The lowest platform along the river is not allowed to go down to the bottom due to the rise of river water and the deposition of silt. Other new discoveries, near the Big Fish Island, I saw a few bird shooters, very focused; there are many wild picnic people with tents on the lawn near Shuitian Residence, very comfortable. There are many ginkgo trees in the courtyard, but the temperature in Shanghai is relatively high, and the leaves are still green. Dream Qing Garden is a park with the theme of environmental protection. There are some water treatment facilities, an exhibition hall about the governance of the Suzhou River, and a cruise ship terminal. There were not many people visiting the park before, but now with the opening of the promenade and the completion of the Tianan Thousand Trees business circle, there will be more and more tourists after the terminal is operational.
