| The Greenhouse Garden is the best indoor place to take kids in winter. Shanghai with Kids | The Greenhouse Garden is the best indoor place to take kids in winter. I wanted to take my baby to get close to nature, but it was too cold outside, so I went to the Greenhouse Garden. This is like a crazy plant city! You don't have to go to Singapore to see an indoor botanical garden bigger and more diverse than Changi Airport! Guozhan Road, Jiming Road, Pudong New Area - Shanghai Greenhouse Garden, Expo Culture Park 9:00–17:00 (last entry at 16:30), closed on Mondays Adult tickets: Weekdays CNY 98/Weekends and holidays CNY 128, Child and senior tickets: Weekdays CNY 49/Weekends and holidays CNY 64 (Free for children under 1 meter) Exit 4, Hou Tan Station, Metro Line 7 P World Flower Garden P5 Parking Lot (closest to the entrance, just across the road) There are many stairs in the park, and you almost never go back the way you came. The accessible elevators are hard to find, so it's not stroller-friendly! Route Pavilion 1: Oasis Pavilion 2: Cloud Forest Pavilion 3: Cloud Canyon Oasis: Cacti, towering baobab trees, and simulated fossil patterns on the rock walls Cloud Forest: A forest waterfall and various tropical rainforest plants, as well as a large water screen and fish tank that children love Cloud Canyon: Don't miss this pavilion with your kids, you can play with water! There is also a mist spray, which children love (remember to bring an extra set of clothes, shoes, and a towel) Overall, the scenes in the pavilion are quite impressive, the variety of plants is rich, and the air circulation is good, so it's not stuffy or hot. The only downside is that it's not stroller-friendly, and the tickets are a bit expensive. There are also Twin Peaks, Mushroom Park, a large lawn, and the World Flower Garden nearby. I highly recommend Mushroom Park, a great place to take kids for free and burn off some energy! You can dig in the sand, and there are facilities for young children.

it s very many historical and many years architectural

The cherry blossoms here don’t compete with the skyline—they complement it. At Shanghai Expo Cultural Park, I strolled under soft canopies of pink while futuristic pavilions and sculptural landmarks stood silently behind them. It was a curious blend: nature reclaiming space once defined by steel and spectacle. The air buzzed lightly with conversations, footsteps, camera clicks, but the blossoms reminded everyone to slow down. Spring had returned not just to a park, but to a legacy of world innovation. Tips: Visit on weekday mornings to enjoy peaceful paths. The park is vast—wear comfortable shoes and plot a loose route to catch both sakura trees and Expo relics. Easily accessible via Metro Line 8 or 13 (China Art Museum Station).

Expo Culture Park: A Cultural Extravaganza in an Urban Oasis On the banks of Shanghai's Huangpu River, an urban park that carries historical memories and modern vitality is attracting visitors from all directions with its unique charm. Expo Culture Park is not only a continuation of the spirit of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, but also a new urban landmark integrating ecology, culture, and leisure. This park, covering an area of nearly 200 hectares, cleverly transforms the legacy of the World Expo into a permanent urban public space. The park retains some of the iconic buildings of the original Expo site, such as the French Pavilion and the Italian Pavilion. These buildings have been carefully renovated and have now become windows for displaying the cultures of various countries. Strolling through it, visitors can not only feel the theme spirit of the World Expo "Better City, Better Life," but also experience new cultural connotations. The park's design fully embodies the concept of "harmonious coexistence between man and nature." With a green coverage rate of over 40%, it has become an ecological oasis in the city. The designers have carefully created a number of themed gardens, including Jiangnan gardens and modern art gardens, with different scenery in each season. In particular, the waterfront promenade built along the river provides citizens with an excellent place to enjoy the scenery of the Huangpu River. Cultural experience is the core feature of Expo Culture Park. The park has a number of cultural venues that regularly host various exhibitions, performances, and art activities. Among them, the Expo Museum tells visitors about the 160-year development history of the World Expo through rich exhibits and interactive experiences. Facilities such as concert halls and open-air theaters provide citizens with high-quality artistic enjoyment. As a model of urban renewal, Expo Culture Park has not only improved the surrounding environment, but also promoted the development of the entire region. A cultural and creative industry cluster area has formed around the park, and many cultural and creative enterprises and design studios have settled here, making it an important engine of cultural innovation in Shanghai. It is worth mentioning that the park's operation and management also reflects the concept of a smart city. Through high-tech means such as intelligent navigation systems and environmental monitoring equipment, it provides visitors with a convenient and comfortable service experience. At the same time, the park also actively promotes green travel and encourages citizens to use public transportation to visit. The successful practice of Expo Culture Park shows that the subsequent utilization of large-scale event venues can be completely transformed into permanent public facilities that benefit the public. It not only continues the spirit of the World Expo, but also provides valuable experience for urban sustainable development. With its unique charm, this park is becoming a new calling card for Shanghai, an international metropolis, showcasing the wisdom and vision of China's urban construction to the world.

#cherryblossom25 #discoverchina #spring #gardens There’s a particular joy in holding a warm cup of coffee while cherry petals drift past your face—and at “M Stand” in Shanghai Expo Culture Park, this becomes a ritual. Tucked along the park’s central promenade, this minimalist café offers more than just caffeine; it’s a front-row seat to spring’s pink spectacle. I ordered their Sakura Cold Brew, a limited-edition floral infusion served in a sleek glass bottle, and claimed the corner table by the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, the breeze sent petals swirling in mini tornadoes, some sticking to the glass like nature’s post-it notes. The barista grinned as she handed me a ‘white chocolate-coated cherry blossom cookie’ —“Eat it before the wind does,” she joked. Pro Tip: Visit on weekdays between 10–11 AM when the morning rush fades and sunlight streams through the trees at just the right angle.

An oasis in the city, Shanghai lacks places for hiking. This park has a small twin mountain where you can walk around easily and the scenery is pleasant. In addition, the park is very spacious and there is a place to camp. In addition, the biggest highlight of the entire park is the greenhouse garden, which has a large environment and a wide variety of types. The entire garden can be strolled all day, and it is very suitable for walking and hiking on weekdays!

Shanghai Greenhouse Garden 🌷 I like nature and trees. Since I visited Shanghai, I didn't miss checking in at the largest greenhouse garden in Asia. How is it? Let's see. 📍Address: No. 100 Jikun Road, Shanghai Expo Culture Park, Huangpu District, Shanghai 🕰️Opening hours: 09:00-17:00 🕔Walking time: It takes about 2 hours to walk around all 3 domes. 🚊Transportation: Take subway line 7 and get off at Hou Tan Station (后滩站) and take exit 4 (it's quite a long ride). It's quite a kilometer from the MRT station to the garden. At first, I was going to rent a bicycle, but I found out that I couldn't park my bicycle in the garden. 🥹 I had to walk myself anyway. But it's a garden walk, you can walk comfortably. 💰Average price per person: Adults 98 yuan or about 460 baht 🎟️ Booking: We booked on the Trip.com app, got a QR code to scan at the entrance. 🏖️Environment/Facilities: There are 3 zones of exhibitions: 1. Sand Mirage 🌵 2. Clouds Forest 🌴 3. Clouds Canyons 🌷 💞Reason for recommendation: You get to see beautiful and strange plants, there are many zones, suitable for those who love nature. There is a skywalk connecting in the dome. It's a relaxing trip, close to nature. The journey is not very difficult. Overall, I like it and feel that it's worth coming. 🥰✨ ✅Pros: You get to experience nature, suitable for those who love trees, there are many beautiful photo spots. ❎Cons: You have to travel quite far from the train station to the garden. If you go during hot weather, it might be very tiring. Bicycles and taxis can't take you into the garden. It's about a kilometer of walking. #TravelChina

Hey ladies! Just discovered a hidden gem in downtown Shanghai‼️ A 30-minute drive transports you to a tropical rainforest, where the greenhouse gardens are breathtakingly beautiful! Here's your step-by-step guide to capturing giant baobab trees from behind the wheel, and breathing in the fresh, negative-ion-rich air. 📍Driving Directions ▫️Set your navigation to "100 Jiming Road" and look for signs for "Shanghai World Expo Culture Park." ▫️The parking lot is right by the greenhouse entrance (8 CNY/hour, plenty of charging stations). ▫️Important‼️ Drive a white/light-colored car! The glass dome creates a natural reflector for photos. ▫️Prepare an *Avatar* soundtrack playlist (perfect for the rainforest vibe). 🌴Three Must-See Pavilions (2 hours to fill your memory card) ✅Oasis: Head to the 800-year-old olive tree and take wide-angle shots with your car in the frame (using the car as the foreground adds a dramatic effect). ✅Cloud Forest: Crouch by the underwater forest ecological tank and capture the reflection of your car window with fish swimming by. ✅Misty Canyon: Use your car key as a tripod and shoot the cascading light beams with a 0.5x zoom. 📸Picture-Perfect Spots 1️⃣Baobab Tree with Car (Centerpiece of Pavilion 1) ✅Wear fluorescent clothing! The contrast will make your photos pop on social media. ✅Have your passenger take photos from the sunroof, framing the giant tree with the car roof. 2️⃣Dome Road Shot (Road from parking lot to entrance) ✅Slow down to 20 km/h! Open the sunroof and lean out to capture the wind in your hair. ✅At dusk, turn on all your car lights to create rainbow light spots reflected on the glass. 3️⃣Giant Waterfall Reflection (Deep inside Pavilion 3) ✅Use your car as a mirror to capture a double reflection of yourself and the waterfall. ✅Open the trunk, lay out a picnic blanket, and pretend you're camping in the Amazon. ⚠️Lessons Learned ❌Don't wear high heels! The stone paths will ruin your feet. ❌Avoid Cloud Forest at 2pm (it's like a sauna). ✅Bring a long-sleeved jacket! The temperature difference between inside and outside can be 20°C, so you might catch a cold. ✅Pack plenty of bottled water and sandwiches (there are only vending machines inside). 👶Tips for Kids ▫️Children's Water Play Area: Bring three sets of clothes + water guns for your kids (don't ask why). ▫️Palm Flower Creek: Use a GoPro to film your kids chasing butterflies—it's incredibly cute. ▫️Rainforest Exploration: Use a plant identification app on your phone for a fun and educational experience. 🍱Foodie Hidden Gems ▫️Parking Lot Food Truck: Matcha ice cream paired with palm leaves makes for a perfect photo prop. ▫️Bring your own fruit: Arrange it under the olive tree for an instant Instagram-worthy shot. ▫️Must-try on the way back: Eel rice at the World Expo Axis mall—the sauce is so good you'll want to lick the bowl. I still grin when I watch the dashcam footage😭 As the car slowly passed under the glass dome, it felt like butterflies were flying out of the air conditioning vents! Another successful road trip this year. Next time, I'm bringing a Wrangler to conquer the palm groves.

🌸It was a bright and sunny weekend in Shanghai, plum blossoms were in full bloom, and all the parks were crowded with friends who were out for a spring outing 🌞In the morning, I went to the Expo Cultural Park to take pictures of the sunrise, and walked into the World Flower Art Garden, where I found a very exquisite view in a small garden. 🌿Small bridges, flowing water, strange mountains, rocks and waterfalls, and a few plum blossoms dotted among them, changing scenery as you move, full of oriental aesthetics 🌷Friends who come to the Expo Twin Hills this afternoon can stop by to see Plum blossoms in full bloom - 📍World Flower Art Garden - Zen Garden 🚇Metro Line 7 Houtan Station

The World Expo Culture Park is quite large. It's a bit difficult to visit the entire park in one day. If you also want to visit the Greenhouse and climb the Twin Mountains, you'll need to allow even more time. If you take the subway from Shibo Avenue Station, you can even use the Lupu Bridge as a backdrop for your park visit. As soon as you enter the park, you'll see the Tranquil Forest. This is the largest green area in the park, extending west to the Central Lake and south to the Twin Mountains, occupying almost half of the park. In addition to flowers, plants, and trees, it also houses many former World Expo pavilions and various sculptures. If you don't like the hustle and bustle of popular attractions, you can definitely enjoy some real tranquility here! Walking to the lakeside, you can easily find the Eleven-Hole Bridge, which is decorated with Shanghai's city flower, the white magnolia. Instead of just taking photos on the bridge, you can also interact with the fish waiting to be fed under the bridge. Looking at the large glass building across the bridge, you'll see the Greenhouse. There are three different themed greenhouse scenes to explore. It is recommended to book tickets and reserve a time slot in advance. If you visit in winter, be aware of the temperature difference between inside and outside to avoid catching a cold. Of course, there are also the Twin Mountains, which must be climbed. Standing at 48m above sea level in the southeast of the park, they are the undisputed highest point. Be sure to make sufficient preparations before climbing, as it takes more than ten minutes to reach the viewing platform at the summit! In addition, there's the Doggy Fun Park for walking dogs, the Equestrian Center for riding horses, and the Molly Fantasy for kids. If all else fails, there's also Shen Garden and the World Flower Art Garden for yourself. There's always something for everyone...

If you are bringing children, don't miss the free water play pool, surrounded by tropical flowers, where you can relax by walking barefoot in the water. 3. "Cloud Canyon" Orchid Storm: The orchid pillar in Pavilion 3 is stunning, with a design similar to that of Singapore. The 10-meter-high flower waterfall is a great photo spot, and the butterfly orchid wall is a must-see during the Spring Festival.

Shanghai. The name conjures images of a dazzling, bustling metropolis, a city teeming with life and energy. And it's true, Shanghai is one of the most populous cities in the world. But what if I told you there's a tranquil oasis, a sprawling green escape right in the heart of this vibrant urban jungle? I'm talking about the Shanghai Expo Cultural Park, a hidden gem just a short stroll from the iconic China Art Museum (which I raved about in my last post!). This park, like the museum, is built on the grounds of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. It's fascinating to wander around and stumble upon remnants of the Expo's past. You can still see the distinctive architecture of the former Russian, French, Italian, and even Luxembourgish pavilions, now repurposed and integrated into the park's landscape. 🇷🇺🇫🇷🇮🇹🇱🇺 The park's centerpiece is a serene lake, a perfect spot for a relaxing picnic lunch. Imagine spreading out a blanket, enjoying some delicious food, and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere – a world away from the city's hustle and bustle. 🍽 And speaking of serene, the park boasts a stunning greenhouse that immediately reminded me of Singapore's Gardens by the Bay, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. It's a beautiful space filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, offering a refreshing respite from the urban environment. 🌳 For panoramic views of Shanghai, you can climb Shuangzishan Hill (there's a small fee for tickets). I highly recommend it! The vistas from the top are breathtaking, offering a unique perspective on the city's skyline. 🕶 But the real highlight for me was the World Flower Garden. I've seen some impressive gardens in my time, but the artificial gardens here were simply stunning. They were so meticulously crafted and artfully arranged that I was completely captivated. 🌺 The park also features numerous Japanese-style gardens, so beautifully landscaped that I felt like I'd been transported to Kyoto, but without the throngs of tourists. It's a tranquil and meditative experience, wandering through these meticulously designed spaces. ⛩ Finally, a little tip: pay close attention to the signages in the World Flower Garden. You might be surprised to find that the English descriptions are even more poetic and literary than the Chinese ones! It's a delightful little detail that adds to the park's charm. The Shanghai Expo Cultural Park is a testament to the fact that even in the most bustling of cities, pockets of tranquility and natural beauty can be found. It's a perfect escape from the urban frenzy, offering a chance to relax, explore, and connect with nature. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat during your Shanghai adventure, this park is an absolute must-visit. You won't be disappointed! #shanghai #china #shanghaiexpopark

During the New Year's Day break, I went to climb Shanghai's new landmark - Twin Mountains in the World Expo Cultural Park. It is located in Pudong New District, Shanghai. It is an artificial natural mountain forest. It is said that it cost 2.1 billion to build and covers an area of ​​300,000 square meters. Climbing is free, but you need to reserve Twin Mountain in advance on the "Shanghai World Expo Cultural Park" applet. The road surface is relatively flat, and the scenery is good when the weather is good. Standing on the mountain, you can overlook the Lupu Bridge and the Lujiazui Three-piece Suite. You can climb it in about 5 minutes. We reached the top before I even had time to sweat, and the mountain staff even thoughtfully prepared trekking poles [Chukle][Chukle][Chukle]

In the cool autumn breeze and the fragrance of osmanthus, the southern section of the Shanghai Expo Cultural Park officially opened on September 20, 2023. With the opening of the northern section on December 31, 2021, the entire park is now open to the public. At the same time, the "People's 'Mirror' World" Park Photography Exhibition also opened. The Shanghai Expo Cultural Park Photography Competition and Collection, organized by Shanghai Land (Group) Co., Ltd., was launched in October 2023, attracting the attention and participation of many enthusiastic citizens and tourists. The youngest participant was 9 years old, and the oldest was 76 years old. Citizens and tourists responded enthusiastically and submitted their works, using their cameras to capture the memories of the Huangpu River and the important trajectory of Shanghai's modern civilization development, showcasing the changes in this area during the industrial period, the Shanghai World Expo period, and the Shanghai Expo Cultural Park period. This exhibition features 150 selected works from 13,816 submissions. The exhibition is divided into three parts: the period of the No. 3 Shanghai Steel Factory, the period of the Shanghai World Expo, and the period of the construction and operation of the Shanghai Expo Cultural Park. The photography exhibition is set in the "abdomen" of the Twin Hills, where the memory of Shanghai's industrial civilization flows. The exhibition hall has three floors, and the ongoing "People's 'Mirror' World" - Shanghai Expo Cultural Park Photography Exhibition features the bustling production of the original site "No. 3 Shanghai Steel Factory," the dazzling lights of the Shanghai World Expo, the bustling construction of the park, and the popularity during its operation. Many tourists are so focused on climbing the Twin Hills that they overlook the photography exhibition, which is a pity. The photographs remind us of the Huangpu River twenty years ago. However, many of the scenes can only be appreciated through the photographs, as I didn't see them in person! Or what I saw was far less beautiful and enticing! Alas, it's all the fault of the cameras. Haha!
