Dongtan Wetland Park
东滩湿地公园
A coastal wetland park at the eastern tip of Chongming Island, with reed marshes, bird-watching towers and cycling paths, the main place for casual visitors to see migratory birds.
Dongtan Wetland Park is located in Chenjia Town at the eastern tip of Chongming Island, next to the Chongming Dongtan Bird Nature Reserve. The park features extensive reed marshes, tidal flats, ponds and bird-watching huts. Visitors can explore along wooden boardwalks or cycling paths, and climbing to a lookout offers distant views of the Yangtze River estuary. In autumn and winter, large numbers of migratory shorebirds and waterfowl stop here, making it one of Shanghai's most popular places for bird-watching. Sunsets over the marsh are also very photogenic. Bring binoculars and insect repellent, and wear sun protection in summer.
