Tour Arrangement

Day 1

In the Morning

Soon after driving off the Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge, you will reach Chongming Dongtan Wetland Park, a national AAAA tourist attraction and a resting place for migratory birds. In spring and summer, all the places you see here are green. The snaking wooden plank road is built in reed marshes, which makes walking in it more poetic. If you take children with you, there are also little animals to feed. What fun!

At Noon

You can have the river fresh food at Guanhai Building in the park. Cultivated from farmland, fresh and delicious, the palatable and green food will be a thrill to your taste buds. As the saying goes, local people eat local food. Located at the Yangtze River’s entrance to the sea, Chongming is abundant in river fresh food. It is also a good time to eat wild vegetables in spring, as Chongming also has a lot of local wild vegetables, such as Kalimeris, Shepherd's Purse, and toothed burclover.

In the Afternoon

Have a stroll in the park, and then drive a car or ride a rented bike to appreciate the sea of seasonal flowers. It is the season when canola flowers are in full bloom. Despite the short flowering period, you will be intoxicated with the golden sea of flowers. What an unforgettable experience! There are fields of canola flowers along the roads in Dongtan Wetland where you can enjoy taking pictures.

You can stay at Chongming Jinmao Hyatt Hotel near the park. Its ecological environment seamlessly connects with the surrounding natural area, just like a dreamy amusement park on the island. You are sure to spend happy hours with your friends or family members thanks to the delicious food, cozy rooms, and various entertainment facilities.

Day 2

In the Morning

After having a delicious breakfast in the hotel, you may set off for Yingdong Village, a national AAA tourist attraction, which is known as the first village on Chongming Island to welcome the sunrise. Since the reclamation in 1985 when it was a poor and remote land, it has become a hot place for leisure with beautiful scenery, fragrant fruits, and abundant aquatic products.

At Noon

You can have lunch at Yingdong Resort in the village. The East Lake Fish Restaurant is located on the bank of the South Lake, and is opposite the hills of the lake. It has the widest view of the resort and is specialized in making Chongming local food. Most of the ingredients are supplied by villagers or planted by the resort’s employees. The vegetables are brought from the farmland to the kitchen, which is undoubtedly fresh. Since it is a fish restaurant, you cannot miss the river fresh food. Yingdong Village abounds in fish and rice, and the local residents have a unique way of cooking. So, the food here features the Chongming flavor.

In addition to the beautiful scenery and delicious food, more importantly, there is a green ecological environment and fresh air.

It's a popular place for breathing fresh air. Don’t hesitate to arrange an outing to Chongming.
