Xinzhuang Park

You really had a blast at Xinzhuang Park! The plum blossom season at Xinzhuang Park has ended, and there are fewer people around. In the afternoons on weekdays, it's mostly nearby residents who come for walks or to take their children out. Cherish the sunny spring days, as every day is filled with the warmth of spring and blooming flowers! Sitting in the pavilion for a while to bask in the sun, listening to the old ladies chattering and playing the erhu, this must be what retirement is like. You can also take a boat ride on the lake, and I even encountered a big goose by the lake! Apart from the one at the entrance, the plum blossoms have mostly faded. Gardeners are pruning the branches, waiting for next year's plum blossom season to return. Several tall magnolia trees are already blooming beautifully, and they are very pretty!

If you like strolling in the park and taking ancient costume photos, you must come to Xinzhuang Park once! P1 is the place I recommend the most. The river is dark green and super beautiful! You can stand by the river and take photos, it must be very beautiful. I, who have no model, can only take some scenery haha. The park is of moderate size. If you live in Minhang District, it would be very comfortable to have a chance to take a walk. 📍Xinzhuang Park (Minhang District) 📸Nikon Z7ii
