In summer, don't just stay in the air conditioner and become a couch potato. You might as well take a big step and go out for a walk. There is no denying that once you really relax, you will find that there are many places and activities for summer vacation in our city.

First stop

It's fun to go to Chongming Island in summer vacation.

Scheme 1: Pearl Lake

As the largest natural freshwater lake in Shanghai, the Pearl Lake in Chongming has always been compared with the West Lake. According to the test, the atmospheric environment and water quality of the whole lake are outstanding. At the same time, the Pearl Park built around the lake is famous for its freshness and nature. The unique "natural lake, dense forest", leisurely and exquisite, is more talked about by people.

This summer, Pearl Lake specially launched "water play" activities. Let the natural bathing place of Mingzhu Lake glow with more functions of being close to the people. In the swimming area of 5111 square meters, there are not only swimming events such as splashing water, seesaw, inflatable boat, iceberg and trampoline; There are also many water sports, such as water birds, sailing, water cycling and kayaking.

other projects: you can experience the "mysterious leaning room" with different standing angles; If you spend 11 yuan an hour, you can enjoy a cruise in Pearl Lake by bike, which will be some good choices. Finally, of course, don't forget to taste the farmhouse in Chongming and the fish head soup in Mingzhu Lake.

location: luhua town in the west of Chongming island.

Tickets: The price for entering Pearl Lake Scenic Area is 31 yuan/person. Later, there was an extra charge for storing clothes in natural baths, but there was no extra charge for participating in other water sports in natural baths.

Transportation: Drive from Xiangyin Road or Zhonghuan Road in Shanghai Outer Ring Road to Wuzhou Avenue in Pudong, then reach Chongming Chen Hai Highway through Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel Bridge, and then reach various scenic spots according to different addresses.

Scheme 2: Xisha Wetland

Xisha Wetland, with a total area of 4,511 mu, is the only natural wetland and a beach woodland with natural tidal phenomena in Shanghai. The "Sunset in Xisha" here can be called a scene in Xisha.

The unique periodic tidal phenomenon here is an important condition for the survival of Xisha wetland. Tides rise and fall in wetlands, which breeds a variety of animals. Here we can see migratory birds and sand crabs drifting with the tide.

It is reported that there are 26 species of birds recorded here at present, and the most common ones are great egrets, mallard ducks, Sinian finches and so on. There are many rest pavilions on the east side of the bird-watching platform, all of which are built on the local tidal pier. Tide-avoiding pier, also known as "helping others pier", is a specialty of Chongming. Because Chongming is located in the southeast coast, there are frequent storms in summer and autumn. In addition, there was no strong levee on the island to stop the tide at that time, so when wind, rain and tide hit together, there would always be a disaster of "burst its banks and flood". Finally, in the tenth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate of a county decided to build a high hill, and since then, "Jimin Hill" has been handed down. Now Chongming Island is surrounded by dikes, which are impregnable. However, the story about "Tide-avoiding Pier" is still worth remembering and telling.

the whole Xisha wetland has a wooden plank road about 2 kilometers long. Walking here is like walking through a fairy tale world covered with reeds and jungles. When the lazy sunset sets, a little red light makes people feel relaxed and happy.

other projects: there is a teahouse named "Wei' an Square" deep in the wetland trestle. Wooden houses, thatched roofs and transparent glass walls all around constitute such a magical place. Sitting here, you can calm down, face the endless reeds and indulge in a cup of tea.

location: located at the southwest end of Chongming island.

Tickets: Xisha Wetland is open to the public free of charge, but because it is adjacent to Mingzhu Lake Park, once you enter Mingzhu Lake Park from Xisha Wetland, you need to pay the park tickets for 31 yuan/Ren. On the contrary, if you visit the park first, you don't need to pay extra.

Transportation: Take Shen Chong Line 3 at Wenshui Road Station of Metro Line 1 or Jufeng Road Station of Metro Line 2, take Shen Chong Line 6-Chongming South Gate, and take Niu Nan Line-Chongming Sanhua Highway, and walk for 21 minutes to reach the scenic spot.

Scheme III: Dongping National Forest Park

Dongping National Forest Park covers a total area of 5,411 mu and is the largest artificial plain forest in East China. Its predecessor was Dongping Forest Farm, and because of this, the park is lush in Nathan Forest, with clear lake water, flowers and birds, and full of wild interest.

featuring "quiet, quiet, beautiful and wild", it integrates many functions such as forest sightseeing, conference tourism, leisure vacation and participatory entertainment. It is the best place for people to return to nature. Gui Huayuan Garden, Plum Garden, Cherry Garden, Maple Garden and Rose Garden. Open in the park, catering to different flowering periods all year round, always full of flowers. When people wander among them, it is like entering the world's "flower" source and coming to the forest oxygen bar. Don't forget the special activities here: grass flying-forest grass skiing, rock ballet-rock climbing, forest golf driving range, tennis court, beach volleyball court, forest zip line, paintball shooting, spinning, forest horseback riding, happy forest go-karting, outdoor barbecue, forest sunbathing, forest fairy tale garden and forest orientation activities to enhance team spirit. I believe that the sweaty participation in summer will definitely have an unforgettable experience.

Transportation: Take Shen Chong Line 3, Shen Chong Line 6-Chongming South Gate, South East Line or South Xinjiang Line-Forest Park at Wenshui Road Station of Metro Line 1 or Jufeng Road Station of Metro Line 2, and walk for 1 minutes to reach the scenic spot.

Second stop Zhujiajiao Kezhi Garden

Enjoy the Peony Pavilion in Zhujiajiao's most beautiful garden

In the hot summer, people are burning and thirsty. What can be more gratifying than a beautiful woman on the water side? The Peony Pavilion, a garden drama, is composed of three trump cards, Tan Dun, Zhang Jun and Huang Doudou, and it is at the bottom, which properly handles the relationship between realism and freehand brushwork. It is located on the live stage of the most beautiful garden "Xuezhi Garden" in Zhujiajiao, just like a piece of land created by Tiantang Xianzu in Peony Pavilion. I only heard the charming call from Du Liniang Bridge and Liu Mengmei's painful singing by the pool. Fiction and fact, combining rigidity with softness, the audience listening to music by the water lamented that "the difference between drama and music can't be distinguished".

If you are not satisfied, you can also play the role of the bride on the ancient stage in the school garden, put on a red coat and sit in a big sedan chair. Admission to 21 yuan is separate for the class park, and the bride's photo is extra.

During the summer vacation, Erdongqiang Private Museum displayed a batch of old stocks that had never been made public in China. Its shareholders are "old Shanghainese" such as Du Fu and Huang. You should know that during the Republic of China, there were as many as 16 banks and money houses in Zhujiajiao, a small ancient town. Therefore, the location of the exhibition is still particular.

Laugh in July and watch the day lilies and forget all the troubles and worries.

Summer is a season that makes people angry and upset easily. Among all the plants, there is a kind of grass called "worry-free girl". It's always like this in the song. In Shanghai, there is a place where people can really find such grass.

Chen Shan Botanical Garden is located in Sheshan National Tourism Resort in Songjiang District, covering an area of 217 hectares. The landscape of this garden is very distinctive, with many precious plants. Hemerocallis is the mysterious girl we are looking for without sadness. The flowering period of day lily is from May to September. It often blooms in the forest, by the water or by the roadside. Beautiful flowers make people forget their troubles. According to "Peony Pavilion", "Daylily, when eaten, makes people happy and forget their worries, so it is called a girl without worries." So the flower language is "forget all the troubles"

Hemerocallis fulva has been cultivated in China for thousands of years, and it is also the traditional mother flower in China. In ancient times, if a wanderer wanted to travel far away, he would first plant day lilies in Beitang, hoping to alleviate his mother's yearning for his children and forget his worries about lovesickness. Meng Jiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in The Peony Pavilion: "Hemerocallis grow on the steps of halls, and wanderers travel all over the world. Mother leans against the hall door and can't see the day lily. "
