As the pandemic has been controlled, the tourism industry is recovering, and the resumption of work and production is in steady progress. To boost the confidence of the tourism market, Chongming organized an activity of parent-child day in Changxing Island Country Park and Yingdong Ecological Village last weekend. We strongly recommend this one-day ecological leisure trip.

One-day Ecological Leisure Trip

Route: Changxing Island Country Park - Yingdong Ecological Village

Activities: sightseeing, strawberry picking, forest barbecue, visiting the 1966 Hotel, and boating in Yingdong Village

Lunch at: Zhiqing Canteen

Duration: One day

Morning

Our first stop is Changxing Island Country Park where you can take a sightseeing bus to enjoy the pleasant scenery. Although it is raining, many tourists visit the Park for sightseeing and team-building activities are organized here. Strong wind and heavy rain can not stop tourists from embracing nature.

After enjoying the scenery, we walk into an orchard to pick organic strawberries, which is popular among children who are eager to start with baskets in their hands. According to the staff in the park, in addition to strawberries, seasonal fruits can be picked here all year round. If you like picking fruits, you must come here to experience the fun of being a fruit farmer. You can also adopt fruit trees, from where the fruits will belong to you.

After the fruit harvest, let’s go to the barbecue area in the forest. The large barbecue table is suitable for team-building activities. It's great to cook delicious food together. Your taste buds will be instantly stimulated by the barbecue flavor. If you love barbecue and skewered food, it is the right place for you.

Noon

Do you have enough in the barbecue? If not, there is no need to worry about it. Zhiqing Canteen has prepared a sumptuous lunch, all of which are cooked with organic and ecological green ingredients. The canteen focuses on Chongming home dishes, which are authentic and gently nostalgic.

After lunch, let's visit the 1966 Hotel known for its elegant and comfortable guest rooms. In addition to the beautiful ecological environment, you can also experience the Zhiqing culture by staying here and recalling the past.

Afternoon

Our second stop is Yingdong Ecological Village in Chenjia Town, where tourists are crowded at the ticket gate in an orderly fashion for pandemic prevention. Entering the village, you will see the village history museum before passing by a stone tablet with the spirit of Chongming Island.

Standing on the bridge in the East Lake Scenic Area, the first thing you can see is the East Lake, which is said to be an artificial lake dug out by the Yingdong residents for nearly a year. It is in the shape of a ring hole with clear water. Beside the lake is a vivid stone inscribed with the colorful words Yingdong Ecological Village. You can take a sightseeing boat to visit the East Lake. From time to time, small swallows are looking for food on the lake, and fishermen are leisurely sitting on the bank. Close your eyes, feel the ecological nature, and leave your troubles behind. There is also a children's amusement park. If you love ecology, angling, and boating, why not give it a try?

At last, we will return to our home after the one-day trip. Welcome to Chongming for this short leisure tour!
