If the long journey is too tiring and risky, then the short trip around must be your first choice.

Chongming's good ecological environment and pleasant climate have lured more tourists.

In the warm spring, we recommend a route for a short trip to the west of Chongming, so that you can embrace nature without leaving Shanghai.

Pearl Lake Park is large. To save time, you can rent a bicycle to ride around the lake. While enjoying the lake scenery in the park, you can also get some exercise.

In the bursts of laughter, we come to our 2nd stop.

2. Enjoy water entertainment

The water entertainment in the park is one of the highlights. Try the amphibious vehicle! You and your friends can drive the vehicle from the ground onto the water, which is super exciting. Or you can take a sightseeing boat and float leisurely on the lake, looking at the sparkling water. From time to time, birds are flying and fish are jumping, which is wonderful. After having fun, ride your bike to our 3rd stop - the Fish Specimen Museum.

3. Visit Fish Specimen Museum

If you want to have closer contact with fish in the Pearl Lake, the Pearl Lake Fish Specimen Museum is the best choice! You can share the fun of watching, feeding, and playing with fish here. Angling enthusiasts can go angling at the lakeside, like the leisurely fishermen.
