Dongping National Forest Park
东平国家森林公园
The largest artificial plain forest in East China, with dawn redwood avenues, camping lawns and a full range of forest recreation.
Dongping National Forest Park is located in the central-north part of Chongming Island and covers more than 300 hectares. It is the largest artificial plain forest in East China, known for its extensive stands of dawn redwoods and pond cypresses and its forest waterways. The park offers forest cycling trails, camping lawns, grass sledding, rock climbing and more. It looks especially beautiful in autumn, when the dawn redwoods turn reddish-brown. It is crowded on weekends and public holidays, and camping requires advance booking. The park sits next to Shanghai Flower Expo Cultural Park, so both can be visited in one day, and parking is convenient for drivers.
