Here's a guide to admiring Yulan magnolias in Shanghai: Magnolia Viewing Time According to the Shanghai Botanical Garden's monitoring, the first blooming period of Yulan magnolias this year is delayed by 10–15 days compared to normal years, and the peak blooming period is around mid-March. Magnolia Viewing Locations - Lujiazui Central Green Area: You can frame the Lujiazui skyline with patches of Yulan magnolias. Taking photos under the "Returning Oasis" public sculpture is beautiful.  - People's Square: There is a row of Yulan magnolias, which can be framed with the landmark buildings and the church in People's Square. Take Exit 20 of People's Square Station on subway lines 1/2/8.  - Longhua Temple: The thousand-year-old temple complements the Yulan magnolias, creating a rich atmosphere. After entering Longhua Temple, walk along the left side towards the back to see them.  - Minhang Cultural Park: This park has the largest area of Yulan magnolias in Shanghai, including white and purple varieties. You can also frame them with tulips. The areas near Gate 2 and Gate 3 are good photo spots.  - Yan'an Zhong Road Green Area: There is a flourishing Yulan magnolia tree. You can capture a mirror effect at the Sea Coconut Grove.  - Shanghai Exhibition Center: Yulan magnolias can be framed with tulips and historical buildings. The West Friendship Hall, West Garden, and East Garden are all good photo spots.  Photography Tips - Choose the right time: The soft light in the morning or evening can create a translucent effect on the petals. Avoid the harsh midday sun, which can cause shadows. - Find a simple background: Use the blue sky, building walls, etc., as a background to highlight the pure white magnolia blossoms and reduce clutter. - Try different angles: Shoot upwards with the sky as the background to showcase the flowers' posture; shoot downwards to capture the top of the flowers and the stamens; you can also take close-ups to highlight details.

🧚‍♀️In addition to cherry blossoms and tulips, Shanghai's spring also features the city flower - magnolias💕Sharing a free treasure park in Shanghai where magnolias and tulips bloom together‼️ . ⛲️It is Minhang Cultural Park, a unique park with the largest area and the highest number of magnolias planted in Shanghai👍The park has white magnolias, yellow magnolias, purple magnolias, and red cloud magnolias💕 . 💯Tips for visiting and taking photos: 🧡Gate 3: 💕There are purple magnolias and pink magnolias, with a long row of tulips in the middle, perfect for capturing both flowers in one frame. 🌷On the lawns on both sides, there are S-shaped tulips in various colors. . 💛Gate 2: 💜There are also two rows of tall purple magnolias here, but they are fuller and denser than those at Gate 3. There is a small slope here, which is also a great spot for taking photos. . 🩵Wisdom Blue House: 🏰The blue "Santorini" style castle is a picturesque spot on its own. There are also some purple magnolias on the northern slope, which create a unique charm when framed with the blue castle. . ⏰The magnolia blooming period is very short, only about a week. Based on previous years' shooting experience, it is expected that the flowers will be in full bloom this weekend!

This is a must visit if you are in the Minhang district in Shanghai. Compared to all the other well known parks in Shanghai, it is usually quiet and peaceful and you can find a great spot near the river to have a picnic. Your own food and drinks are allowed and it is easy to get to by car or subway. The only downside is that the entrance gates are spread out and once you are in the park, it might take a while to get to the gate again so order food in advance or bring your own instead of having to walk to the gate. #parks #cityparks #picnic

#shanghaionbudget Visiting Minhang Sports Park in May felt like stumbling upon Shanghai’s best-kept public sports paradise—vibrant, diverse, and all free to enter. Located at 456 Xinzhen Road (Minhang District), it’s a 84-hectare green retreat built around a lake and lush hillsides  . The park opens early (5 AM in summer; 6 AM in winter) and closes around 6–7 PM (seasonal) . I spent a rejuvenating 2–3 hours wandering its zones—from wetlands and fir forests to open lawns and sports areas . Highlights included: • Wetland & Ecological Areas: Boardwalks over reeds and lily ponds revealed dragonflies, frogs, and local birds—a peaceful escape from the urban forest . • Lawn & Picnic Fields: Spacious grasslands hosted groups barbecuing, playing frisbee, and jogging—great for families or solo picnics . • Tropical Storm Water Park: A fun splash zone (seasonal), ideal for kids and cooling off on warmer days . • Sports Facilities: Tennis courts, a stadium, boating, fishing, go-karts, mini-golf, and a colorful 98 m rainbow slide—fee‑based fun beyond the free entry . • Fitness Trails & Community Events: Multiple running circuits (2 km & 5 km), floodlit courts, and outdoor classes—locals gather to exercise, play pickup soccer or surfboards, picke ball—and even random drum meets . ⸻ Visitor Notes: • Entry Fee: Free (facility usage extra, e.g., slide ¥10, boats ¥80/hr) . • Getting There: Metro Line 12 to Gudai Road (~1 km walk), or Line 1/Xumin to Xinzhuang + Bus 753/763 . • Best Times: Early morning for serenity, late afternoon for social energy and activities. • Plan for 2–4 hours: A relaxed stroll with optional sports or boating included. ⸻ Final Thoughts Minhang Sports Park is one of Shanghai’s most vibrant public spaces—a budget-friendly haven where nature, fitness, and community converge. Whether you’re kayaking on the lake, sliding down rainbow hills, picnicking on lawns, or simply enjoying a jog, it’s the perfect place to connect with local life and unwind in style.

You can also enjoy seasonal flowers such as plum blossoms and rape blossoms in spring, sunflowers in summer, and cosmos in autumn. The lawn is also large, so I think it is a very pleasant park for picnics on weekends.

Listen up, folks! Last week, I got smacked in the face by aunties' scarves at Gucun Park.😤 The flower-viewing assassins of Shanghai are relentless! I've compiled 18 death traps to help you save the money you'd spend on 10 tubes of concealer! 🚗Transportation Assassinations: ❌Hongkou Football Stadium, Exit 6 of Line 8 = Spring Festival travel rush! After 9 am, it's a chest-to-back scrum. If you want to capture the train passing through flowers, be there before 7 am (bring a folding stool and stand on a trash can to shoot). ❌Chenshan Botanical Garden, Gate 1 = Hell on Earth! Sneak into the Rock Garden through Gate 3 and claim the entire riverside cherry blossom forest. 🌸Tried and Tested: Successes and Failures (Original Route + Pitfall Avoidance): ✅Binjiang Forest Park: Bring plastic bags for the Phase II Nemophila hills! Security checks for shoe covers to prevent trampling (don't ask how I know😭). After capturing the blue flower sea, head to the riverside. At 4 pm, shoot the Yangtze River freighters against the backlight + flower sea for a killer shot! ✅Jiaotong University Minhang Campus: Don't just stand by the red wall at Gate 5! Go around to the east side of the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering's lawn. Use a 200mm telephoto lens to compress the space, and the cherry blossoms will fill your frame. 📸Photographic Faux Pas: ⚠️Lujiazui Central Green Space: Shooting the four iconic buildings = construction worker vibes! Crouch by the drainage ditch on the left side of the "Oasis" sculpture, flip your phone upside down, and place it on the ground. The tulips will instantly grow 2 meters taller. ⚠️Longhua Temple: Don't shoot the magnolias from below! Bring a reflector for the ancient temple's eaves. If wearing Hanfu, choose lotus root color. Beware of yellow-robed monks photobombing. 🌷Flowering Period Death Schedule: 🔴Nanyuan Riverside Tulips: Go before March 20! They'll be replaced with lavender in April (don't trust the navigation status). 🔴Botanical Garden Cherry Blossom Rain: From March 25 to April 5, they spray water at 10 am daily to create "rain." Bring a transparent umbrella and stand on the stone bridge in the Peony Garden. 👗Clothing Assassinations: ❌Never wear a white dress to Qinjian Spring Garden! The tulips and cherry blossoms clash. Taro purple JK + bow hair accessories are the winning combo. ❌Bring a hiking stick to Minhang Cultural Park for the magnolias! The purple blossoms are on the roof of the Greek-style castle. Climbing requires core strength💪. 💡Lifesaving Tips: 1️⃣Bring a folding ladder to Miaojiang Road to shoot Nanpu Bridge! Security will pretend not to see. 2️⃣Shoot a bird's-eye view from the overpass at Wenshui Road Metro Line 4, Exit 4. Cover your phone with a plastic bag to prevent drops. 3️⃣Wear non-slip socks for the "Beida Mountain" waterfall spot in Lu Xun Park. The moss is slippery. 4️⃣Bring a fake student ID! Save ¥40 on tickets to Jiaotong University/Botanical Garden (shhh🤫). Shanghai's flower season waits for no one! Save this guide and tag your adventurous friends!

🌌 Journey Through a Millennium: Experience the Vibrancy of the Zhenguan Era Step into the "Mirror of Zhenguan" exhibition hall at the Minhang Museum, and you'll feel as though you've entered a time tunnel leading to the early Tang Dynasty. The timeworn bas-reliefs of the Zhaoling Six Steeds shimmer in the light and shadow, the robes of the tricolor Hu figurines seem to flutter in the desert winds of the Silk Road, and the "flying white" calligraphy of Yuchi Jingde's epitaph still carries the fragrance of ink that has lingered for a thousand years. This exhibition, woven together with 132 cultural relics, presents a vivid tapestry of the Zhenguan era's splendor. 🏺 Must-See Exhibits: Unraveling the Secrets of a Golden Age 1⃣ Yuchi Jingde's Epitaph Highlight: The epitaph's cover features the rare "flying white" calligraphy style, with 25 characters inscribed with a powerful, knife-like precision. The 2,218-character inscription in regular script details the legendary life of this meritorious official, from the thrilling Xuanwu Gate Incident to his illustrious military achievements defending the frontier, serving as a "living archive" of early Tang history. Significance: Unearthed from the Zhaoling Mausoleum in Shaanxi, the epitaph is a valuable artifact for studying the political system and calligraphic art of the Tang Dynasty. 2⃣ Tricolor Female Equestrian Figurine Details: With her hair styled in a high bun, the female rider wears a narrow-sleeved robe and high boots, her hands holding the reins in a confident posture that challenges traditional female imagery, showcasing the self-assurance and freedom of women during the Zhenguan period. Background: Excavated from the tomb of Li Xian, the flowing and blending tricolor glaze testifies to the pinnacle of Tang Dynasty pottery craftsmanship. 3⃣ Gilt Silver Pot (Exhibited from the end of March) Craftsmanship: The pot is adorned with a carving depicting the Greek myth of the "Judgment of Paris." The toreutic art of the Sasanian Empire of Persia blends seamlessly with traditional Chinese patterns, making it a true gem of Silk Road cultural exchange. Story: Unearthed from Guyuan, Ningxia, this pot once journeyed across the desert with Sogdian merchant caravans, bearing witness to the prosperity of Chang'an as an international metropolis. 📌 Practical Information 📍 Address: 1538 Xinzhen Road, Minhang District (10-minute walk from Hangzhong Road Station on Metro Line 10) 📅 Exhibition Period: From now until May 5, 2025 (Closed on Mondays, open during Lunar New Year) 🎫 Tickets: Free! Professional guided tours are available daily at 10:00 and 14:00 (approx. 1.5 hrs)

👍About the Attraction: I went to the Minhang Museum today to see the "Zhenguan Mirror - Thematic Exhibition of Tang Dynasty History and Culture." I arrived 15 minutes early, but there was already a long line of more than 100 people at the entrance. The cold wind was biting, but everyone in line had excited expressions on their faces. I learned from online information that the museum gives out a limited number of exquisite brochures to visitors every day, so some enthusiasts arrive an hour early to be first in line. The "Zhenguan Mirror - Thematic Exhibition of Tang Dynasty History and Culture" is being held at the Minhang Museum from January 23 to May 5, 2025. The exhibition is divided into four sections: "The Early Tang Dynasty," "The Rise of Prosperity," "Splendor of the Silk Road," and "Legacy of a Flourishing Age." Through 132 precious cultural relics (sets), it vividly recreates the reign of Zhenguan, a golden age established by Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin). Chairman Mao wrote in his poems about "Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song." Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin) is one of the most famous emperors in ancient Chinese history. His life encompassed both the tragedy of the Xuanwu Gate Incident and the prosperity of the Zhenguan era. If you want to learn more about this emperor who led China to the peak of the world at that time, you can visit this exhibition. Reliefs of the Six Steeds of Zhaoling are displayed at the entrance of the exhibition. The Six Steeds of Zhaoling were the six warhorses of Li Shimin, who died in several key battles. Li Shimin personally wrote "praises" for them and had their images carved in bluestone to commemorate those turbulent years and demonstrate his ambition and determination to create the Zhenguan era. The exhibition also features some gilded and painted figurines of civil and military officials. The civil officials hold tablets, and the military officials are clad in armor, vividly showcasing the images of Tang Dynasty officials. These figurines reflect the emphasis on both civil and military affairs, and the unity of the emperor and his ministers during the Zhenguan period. They are a vivid representation of the political system and bureaucratic structure of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the cultural relics, the exhibition organizers have also meticulously presented various aspects of Tang Dynasty society, striving to provide visitors with a comprehensive understanding of life during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. For example, there are introductions to tea, wine, and cooking methods; the overall layout of Chang'an City, including the distribution of the imperial palace and residential areas; and diagrams illustrating the makeup sequence of Tang Dynasty women. It's as if you've stepped into Chang'an City and witnessed its splendor in a single day. 📍Address: No. 1538 Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai 🚗Transportation: Subway: Take Metro Line 10 to Hangzhong Road Station, Exit 3, and walk 700 meters. Car: Navigate to "Minhang Culture Park." Parking is available in the underground parking lot of the Culture Park or at the parking lots near Gate 2/Gate 3. 🎟Tickets: Free admission, no reservation required. 💗Other Tips: Open Tuesday to Sunday from 09:30 to 16:30 (last entry at 16:00), closed on Mondays. It's close to the Shanghai Mass Culture Museum, the Powerlong Art Museum, and Qibao Ancient Town, so you can plan a day trip to visit them all.

Near the intersection of Xinzhen Road and Caobao Road in the southwest corner of the park are the Minhang Cultural Center and the Haipai Art Museum, which can be visited together. 🌿The main function of Minhang Cultural Park is to regulate the ecological environment of the urban area. It is large in size, well-designed, filled with lush lawns and green trees, and also has lakes and natural small rivers, with water plants and wildflowers scattered along the banks, full of natural charm... ☔️During the plum rain season, the drizzle washes away the dust, the air is fresh, the vegetation is lush, and the summer flowers bloom in patches, painting beautiful color blocks on the ground... Holding an umbrella, walking slowly in the rain, cleansing the troubles, daydreaming, and enjoying this comfort...

The early summer water lilies, all that is seen is continuous good fortune The water lilies of early summer, silent as water, untouched by dust. Casually observing the shadows among the flowers, I inadvertently walked into Monet's pond, entering the charming shallow dream of summer blossoms.

📍Attraction Address: No. 2019 Wuzhong Road, Minhang District, Shanghai (near Outer Ring Road) 🚗Transportation to Attraction: Walk 980 meters from Hangzhong Road Station on Subway Line 10 👍️Must-visit Spot: Huiyin Blue House 🎟️Ticket Information: Free admission without reservation 💗Other tips: The parks in Minhang District are really trending today, such as Minhang Cultural Park, whose iconic landmark is the Huiyin Blue House. The three types of flowers are also concentrated around the Blue House. Water lilies are located to the south of the Blue House, with red, pink, and yellow flowers blooming in competition. The view of the Blue House from here is also the best, resembling the blue and white architecture of Greece, and can be photographed with the water lilies in the foreground. Purple sunflowers are located on the east side of the Blue House, visible after crossing the bridge from the water lily pond. Although the area of the purple sunflowers is not large, because they are planted together with trees, it really feels like a forest, and the side of the Blue House can also serve as a background. Large marguerites are located on the hillside to the north of the Blue House, with several continuous hillsides planted with a large area of white large marguerites, which are very impressive, although the degree of trampling is also distressing. The Blue House itself is a public welfare place, mainly hosting charity events for children with autism. There is a charity piano performance on Saturday afternoons, and it is usually used as a reading room. I personally really like it here, it's just a pity that there are too many noisy tourists, breaking the tranquility of the place.

Minhang Cultural Park is definitely one of the most frequently visited parks by the people of Minhang. Not only is it large in size, but it also offers a rich variety of activities. On this visit to Minhang Cultural Park, I discovered that a large area of hydrangeas near Huiyin Blue House 🌸 have bloomed, and the color tuning is quite nice. The blue and pink hues intermingle, creating an endless summer's grand garden! The lawn that was maintained earlier is now open, and the vast green grass is very comfortable to step on! Whether it's camping, playing soccer ⚽️, or just lying down, it's a pleasant place to be. So, what are you waiting for? Take the time this weekend to relax in nature. And while you're at it, take some 📷 beautiful photos with the endless summer! By the way, some of the water lilies 🪷 in the park's water garden have started to bloom, but they are not yet in full bloom. Those who want to see the water lilies will have to wait a little longer.

🌸This time I went to see the magnolias. Some of the flowers have already bloomed. If you want to take pictures of the first blooming magnolias, you can act in advance. 🌟A must-visit place in the park: the Blue Castle. Also called "Huiyin Blue House", it is located on the north side of the park's water garden. It is a friendly community space that uses music as a theme to care for young people in society. It is very beautiful~ 🌟The Blue Castle is very suitable for taking portraits. 💦The reflection of the water can create a lively effect. 🚣‍♀️The water cleaner rowing boats is also a great finishing touch. 📝Because magnolia flowers are so beautiful, 📷the author suggests not to shoot them together with portraits, the effect will be better. If you can take advantage of a very good slope, it will definitely be a good photo❗

From a meteorological perspective, Shanghai has not yet entered spring, but the city's flower, the white magnolia, is already in full bloom throughout the city. 'But for one branch worthy of jade, why need nine fields to start seeking orchids?' This line from a Tang dynasty poem is the origin of the name 'magnolia,' and China has a history of cultivating magnolias for over 2,500 years. In addition to the white magnolia, there are many other varieties in the Magnoliaceae family, such as the Yulan magnolia, the Lucky Red magnolia, the Yellow magnolia, the Purple magnolia, etc. Among them, the Spring-watching magnolia, also known as the Spring-welcoming flower or tree, is the earliest blooming magnolia and is known as the 'messenger of spring.' There are many places to view magnolias in Shanghai, but the largest planting area and the most numerous is the Magnolia-themed Park - Minhang Cultural Park. Minhang Cultural Park currently has over 1,200 magnolia trees of various varieties such as white, yellow, purple, and Lucky Red magnolias, distributed in ecological attractions within the park such as the Music Plaza and the Hundred Flowers Garden. Clusters of magnolia flowers resemble a flock of doves landing on branches or pure white snow hanging from the treetops. Visitors leisurely take photos and check in among the trees, enjoying the vibrant early spring scenery. Since the magnolia's blooming period is quite short, generally lasting about one week to ten days, those who want to see them should hurry. Additionally, nearby there are art venues such as the Minhang Museum, the Shanghai Style Art Gallery, and the Baolong Art Museum, which can be visited together on a weekend.
