#2024TravelReview #GuangfulinCulturalRelicsIs it considered a less popular tourist attraction in the suburbs of Shanghai? Located on the north side of Guangfulin Village in Songjiang District, Shanghai, the park has been listed as a cultural relic protection site due to the archaeological excavation of ancient sites thousands of years ago. It is a good place to explore the roots of Shanghai culture. The Guangfulin Ruins Park covers a large area and houses many museums, including the Underwater Museum, Ancient Pottery Art Museum, Sanyuan Palace, Zhiye Zen Temple, etc. Among them, the Underwater Museum is the most amazing. The underwater museum has a unique shape, as if the water flooded the Jinshan Temple, leaving only the triangular eaves, and the rest of the buildings are all located under the surface of Guangfu Lake. The museum not only has a replica of the archaeological site where ancient artifacts were unearthed in 1959, but also a series of scenes that recreate life at that time. The sloping roof of the cultural exhibition hall extends toward the lake. In the setting sun, it forms a beautiful scene with the reflection of the shimmering lake surface. There are beautiful photos to take and the history of Shanghai's origin and development to learn about, so it's not boring at all. #JiangxiTravel #GuangfulinCulturalRelics #UnderwaterMuseum

This is a vast park in Shanghai's Songjiang District, centered around ruins and museums. It is a place where ruins that are said to be about 5,000 years old are located, and it is famous for a museum with a distinctive pyramid-shaped roof floating on a lake. Songjiang District is now on the outskirts of Shanghai, but 5,000 years ago it may have been the center? ? Maybe. The simple strollers that can be rented in the park for families with children are unique to China. From the city, it is easily accessible by taking subway line 9 and then taking a bus or taxi from Songjiang University City Station. #ShanghaiTourism #ShanghaiTrip #Shanghai #EnjoyShanghai #Ruins

#ChinaMainlandAttractions#Shanghai#Guangfulin This time we will introduce to you the Guangfulin Site located in Songjiang District, Shanghai. The Guangfulin area is also known as the root of Shanghai because people have lived and developed agriculture there as early as the Neolithic Age. I am not here to talk about history🥱🥱I want to introduce places other than the Guangfulin Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall. Outside the exhibition hall, there are gardens, lakeside bridges, rapeseed fields, sheep feeding areas, etc.... enough for everyone to visit for a whole day. The day I visited was at the end of March. The lakeside was full of cherry blossoms 🌸 and the rapeseed fields were lush green. It took me half a day to take photos and check in. If you are tired of walking, you can hide in the Cloud Study to have a cup of coffee☕️ or sit on the lawn in the park...half a day will pass quickly. 💰Except for the archaeological site exhibition hall and the underwater museum, there is no entrance fee to other places. 🚉How to get there: Take Metro Line 9 to Songjiang University Town Station➡️then change to bus 🚌98 or 15 and get off at East China Zhengfa University Station

Guangfulin Cultural Heritage Park is located in Songjiang District, south of Shanghai. You can learn about Shanghai's history in the exhibition hall, a unique building with a roof that seems to be submerged in the lake. A primitive village existed here more than 4,000 years ago, and after the construction of a city during the Qin and Tang dynasties, Songjiang Prefecture was established in 1277. Seven prefectures were established under it, one of which was Shanghai. In the past, Songjiang was the center of Shanghai, but the power has now reversed. In China, the characters on car license plates are determined by province, and Shanghai uses the character "hu". Hu was a type of fishing tool, but the mouth of a river that flows into the sea came to be called "hudu", and from there Shanghai came to be called "hu". You can learn about the history directly connected to Shanghai in the exhibition hall. There is also a temple in the park, which you can freely visit. At the back of the temple, we were able to eat local noodles with plenty of ingredients, similar to Japanese country soba (udon?). It was delicious. Access: From Songjiang University City Station on Shanghai Subway Line 9 Take a city bus (15, 98, 24, etc.) and get off at East China University of Political Science and Law Station Opening hours: 9am - 5pm Admission fee: 60 yuan for park admission + 30 yuan for cultural exhibition hall #Shanghai#ShanghaiTourism#Songjiang#Guangfulin#Guangfulin·#Hu

#shanghai #urbanexplorer #china Whilst the draw of Happy Valley brings many people to Songjiang district, we instead spent the day at Guangfulin relics park. The whole park is etched by beautiful water ways and green spaces. My favourite part of visiting were the beautiful old style buildings with their carvings and paintings. We went on the hottest day of the year and were surprised to see we were some of the only people there until we got heat stroke in the third hour of visiting! Take advantage of the ice cream stalls dotted around the park if visiting in the summer!

This park is amazing and needs several hours to be discovered completely. I couldn't do all today, so I need to come back. Especially the culture museum, which is partially located below the lake unfortunately I had to skip. A boat trip would be possible, too. Nevertheless there are so many beautiful parts created which combine the old history of this place and a modern look.

The second time I painted the Guangfulin Cultural Site in Shanghai, this time it was so freehand. I found that the Guangfulin I photographed is very different from others. Buildings without photo signs Make it so that no one can recognize it Hahaha I discovered that there are so many beautiful little corners in Guangfulin. Quite a film For portraits, you can take pictures in cheongsam, Hanfu or new Chinese style Friends who love beautiful scenery, don’t miss it 📍Address Shanghai Guangfulin Cultural Site 🚇Transportation Lane 3260, Guangfulin Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai 🕙Opening hours Free and open year-round 09:00-17:00 (last admission 16:30) 🎫Ticket information free #上海好狠地#Shanghai Travel Guide

Take a day trip out towards the end of metro line 9 and check out the beautifully managed park. Feeling the Kyoto vibes immediately upon seeing the temple, then vibes immediately change to rather artsy architecture around the river. They even built a needle statue to commemorate the past when sewing is one of the main job in the district. Come late afternoon, stroll around 2-3hrs, and once the park’s closing (5pm), walk around 1 block away to get a beautiful sunset view! Getting There - Take metro line 9 to Songjiang University Town, then take taxi (or bus 松江15 to HuaDong ZhengFa DaXue) Tickets : Free entry. ¥70 for some museums and exhibition inside. Opening hours : 09:00-17:00 (last entry 16:00) Attractions - interesting architecture, Japanese-style temple, parks. Hotels - N/A Food & Restaurants - food stalls and small restaurants inside, but most likely you won’t need to stay in there to eat. Vegan-friendliness : unknown. Didn’t try the restaurant, only those street-snacks that is vegan. #shanghai #daytrip #temple #garden #park

If you have and can take the time, Guangfulin Relics Park is a worthwhile trip. It's located quite aways from downtown Shanghai in Songjiang District but the area is quite beautiful and farmland like in appearance. I went on a weekday in late February during Winter Break, shortly after Chinese New Year so even though there were quite a few people walking around the numbers were quite low. In turn this made you feel calm and want to stroll along at your own leisurely pace. You could also take pictures without other people around if wanted or holding others up waiting for you to take a picture with no people. It was fantastic to see for myself the buildings that look like they are floating on water and explore the surrounding land. It's also possible to take a boat ride around, eat a small lunch at KFC, and grab a coffee at Starbucks on the grounds. 😜😜😜 #staycation

The Guangfulin Cultural Site is an archaeological site located in the Songjiang District of Shanghai, China. It is estimated to be over 5,000 years old. Zhou Dynasty artifacts have also been excavated at this site. Discovered by local villagers in 1958, it was designated as a protected site in 1977, excavation progressed, and a museum opened in 2018. The Guangfulin Cultural Site is a major historical theme park. It is a must-see spot for history and archaeology lovers! #trip2022

A must-see attraction in the suburbs of Shanghai The dual attributes of internet celebrity check-in place + cultural and historical relics make it a very unique attraction. If you come to Shanghai during the Spring Festival, this is a place I highly recommend to everyone! When I first saw this park, I was curious why the houses at Guangfulin Ruins were built in the water. After the visit, I realized that when the Guangfulin ruins were first excavated, the scale was very small. With subsequent excavations, the ruins continued to expand. In order to achieve long-term development and better protect cultural relics, artificial lakes were built around the site🌊. 🌎Address: Lane 3260, Guangfulin Road, Songjiang, Shanghai 🚄Travel: Shanghai Metro Line 9-Songjiang University Town Station is about 3 kilometers away from the station. You can take a taxi or shared bicycle to get to Guangfulin! 🚩Must-see attractions: Zhiye Zen Temple-Guangfulin Museum-Book Collection-Fulin Tower-Duoyun Academy 🏠Accommodation: There is the Songjiang Guangfulin Hilton Hotel in the north, and the Prime Minister's Mansion Hotel in the south on the side of the main entrance. #suburbangoodplace# Theme Park Guide

🏛️Passing through the Suzaku Gate, the surrounding buildings, small bridges and flowing water make you feel like you have returned to ancient times. It is not until you step onto the asphalt road that you remember that you are actually in Songjiang. 🏛️The Guangfulin Ruins is a huge building complex and garden park, including exhibition halls, bookstores, temples, and monasteries. A detailed visit can take up a whole day, so it is suitable for a walk on weekends. #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

#sunset #sunsetview #river Watching the sunset is a deeply calming and reflective experience that leaves a lasting impression on the soul. I remember one particular evening when I found myself alone on a quiet beach, the rhythmic sound of waves gently lapping the shore. The sky had started to shift from soft blue to a fiery blend of orange, pink, and purple. Each minute that passed transformed the horizon into a living painting, more vibrant and emotional than any photo could capture. As the sun lowered, it cast a golden path across the water, making the ocean sparkle like liquid gold. The warmth of the sun’s final rays touched my face, and I felt a deep sense of peace. The birds slowly settled, their cries fading with the light, and the wind carried a soft, salty breeze that seemed to whisper the end of the day. What struck me most was the way everything paused. People nearby stopped talking and simply watched, united in silence. There was no rush, no need to capture it on a screen—just pure presence. It reminded me that some of life’s most beautiful moments are fleeting and cannot be owned, only experienced. As the sun finally dipped below the horizon, the sky turned a soft indigo, and the first stars began to appear. The transition from day to night was so smooth, so graceful, it felt like the world was exhaling. I left that beach feeling lighter, more connected to nature, and more aware of the present moment. #riverview The sunset taught me to slow down, appreciate simplicity, and find beauty in endings. It's a daily reminder that no matter how busy life gets, nature always offers a moment of stillness and grace.

Bring an umbrella in summer (frequent showers), wear a windproof jacket in winter (windy by the river). Shanghai's charm lies in its diversity and inclusivity. Whether it's modern skyscrapers or alleyway life, you can always find surprises. 🌃

Visiting Shanghai during the May Day holiday, the city was packed with traffic jams and crowds everywhere. Unable to enter Guangfulin, I decided to take some photos of the scenery from the outside, leaving a record of my visit with a touch of regret. I’ll save the full exploration for my next trip to Shanghai. The Shanghai Guangfulin Cultural Site is located on the northern side of Guangfulin Village in Songjiang District, Shanghai. This ancient site dates back 4,000 to 2,500 years and was discovered by local residents in 1958. Since then, it has undergone multiple excavations, covering an area of 24,000 square meters. The site is divided into three cultural layers, with the third layer identified as Guangfulin Culture in 2006. In 2013, Guangfulin was designated as a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. On June 26, 2018, the first phase of the Guangfulin Cultural Site was officially completed and opened to the public.

Here you can see the Neolithic ruins of Shanghai, China. This Guangfulin is the oldest Neolithic ruins in Shanghai. It is currently developed into a cultural heritage park. The special feature of this place is the underwater museum. As you can see in the picture, it is located underwater under the roof. Admission is free, but you have to pay to see the ruins. I didn't go because I came here to visit the Oncecap Cafe, which has an old-fashioned feel, rather than the ruins. Instead, thanks to the well-maintained park, I was able to enjoy Guangfulin without getting bored. It was nice that there were various photo spots. The operating hours here are from 09:00 to 17:00. If you are curious about the roots of Shanghai, I recommend you come here and visit it. It is a place with a long history. #HawaiiFlightEvent

Guangfulin where you can take a leisurely walk in the park I couldn't go around Guangfulin with the kids because it's so big. The building that looks like it's floating on water is magnificent from afar. 1 If you go to the first exhibition hall, there is an underground exhibition hall under the water. The cost is 30 won. Students 15 won You can buy tickets with Meituwan, but not for foreigners. You can buy them directly at the ticket box. There's a KFC and Starbucks here too. There's a famous cafe, but it's so big that I couldn't find it. After looking around Guangfulin, I stayed at the Hilton Hotel, but since it's connected to the hotel, I recommend staying one night and looking around leisurely. #China travel #Shanghai travel #Shanghai #Shanghai suburbs #With kids #Guangfulin
