The Shanghai Binjiang Forest Park

The Shanghai Binjiang Forest Park is the layout of 300h ㎡, with 14 different areas covering an area of over one million square meters, this is the largest forest park in Shanghai.

Seeking picturesque views of the Huangpu River, many flock to the Bund, a popular Shanghai tourist spot.

Few realize there is another less crowded yet cozier option: Binjiang Park. Facing the Bund on the opposite side of the Huangpu River, the waterfront park extends two kilometers along the river and offers a totally different recreational atmosphere. One can sit alone on a bench at the cruise terminal or the fountain square to watch vessels cruise the river. Visitors can also enjoy walks, bike riding, or picnicking with friends. It is also joyful to sip an afternoon tea at Starbucks with a perfect view of the river. On nights with pleasant weather, street musicians often play guitar in the park.
