Fitness, Fun & Frolic Along the Super Greenbelt Ring

A family cycles at Minhang Culture Park, a core part of the city's greenbelt ring in Minhang District.

Yearning for a laid-back weekend in the city? Looking to enjoy nature and sports fun? Or just seeking a place to sit idly and spend a pleasant spring afternoon? Here are some tips!

 

Amid urban concrete, green is a soothing color. Shanghai is becoming an "ecological city" with gardens, surrounded by forests and featuring blue skies, lucid waters and green spaces.

 

The city's super greenbelt ring, like a green necklace, now totals 98 kilometers and covers 6,208 hectares.

 

In spring, mild breeze and birdsong attract people to photograph flowers, do some exercise, or just sit in contemplation. In summer, trees and lush greenery provide relief from sizzling heat.

 

In autumn, the foliage turns color with splashes of crimson and gold. And in winter, dull gray days are brightened by nature's landscape.

 

The belt is now dotted with 40 parks, and by the end of this year, the figure will be 50.

 

We take you to some major sections of the greenbelt just to enjoy the fun of walking, jogging and cycling here!

The Changning Outer Ring greenbelt features dense wood, with many hidden, winding micro-wetlands in the dense forest, creating a nature-friendly spot within a half-hour reach from the high-density urban area.

 

Here, the ecological greenbelt and the slow traffic system are integrated, combining fitness trails and sports tracks for jogging and cycling, etc.

 

The greenbelt is extremely popular with cycling enthusiasts for balancing cycling difficulty and fun, with enchanting views along the way and even sights of airplanes.

 

The early spring greenbelt is like a scroll that has just been unrolled. Sunlight falls on the tender green grass, as if covering the lawn with a golden gauze. Listen carefully, and you can hear the cheerful chirping of different birds, singing melodiously. If you are lucky enough, you will enjoy the delight of chasing after the lively squirrels that jump merrily among the trees.

Near the Sanmi Road Forest Belt, vast patches of plum blossoms bloom exuberantly under the gentle caress of the sun. With magnolias, peach blossoms and crabapple flowers in full bloom, the entire greenbelt dons a splendid and colorful attire, turning into a sea of flowers.

 

The cycling route is shaded by green trees and offers pleasant scenery. For the Guangshun Road N. and Beidi Road Overpass section, riding through the dense forest, you will pass by the Dream Green Corridor, the Rain Garden and the Aerial Green Corridor, and cross three slow-traffic bridges. The terrain is generally flat. The route connects to the Suzhou Creek riverfront walkway.

 

In addition, the greenbelt now has four newly-built rest stations and vending machines, providing places for rest and replenishment.

Cyclists enjoy the fun of sports on the Changning greenbelt.

A Warm Reminder: It is best to enter from the Guangshun Road N. entrance, where you can rent a bicycle and ride the entire route without any obstacles. Bicycles can also be rented at the entrance on Xianxia Road W., but there is no rental point at Konggang No. 8 Rd.

Children having fun at West Bund Nature Art Park.

Millipede loungers, stick-insect swings, cup moth exploration caves and silkworm-themed playground... There is a 3-hectare "Forest Insect Secret Realm" in Shanghai's West Bund Nature Art Park. Here, children can swing under stick-insect frames, climb and slide in the silkworm-pupa playground or play hide-and-seek in cup moth caves.

 

These installations encourage children to explore nature with imagination and adventure.

 

West Bund Nature Art Park on the Xuhui section of the greenbelt, once an ordinary urban greenbelt, has been transformed into a child-friendly haven and a nature classroom.

 

The park features refined, eco-integrated design. It uses an axis and belt to connect diverse habitats and employs colorful plants to create a colored forest, ensuring ecological stability and boosting biodiversity. It has also created habitats for amphibians, forest birds and pollinating insects.

The first phase of the Xuhui section of the greenbelt starts from Laohumin Road in the west, and extends to Longwu Road in the east, the Outer Ring Road Expressway in the north and Huajing Road in the south, covering about 37 hectares in total.

 

A multi-dimensional greenbelt system has been created, with walking, jogging, cycling paths and elevated sections. It connects the park's slow traffic with a 500-meter elevated boardwalk, creating a slow-walk-friendly park greenbelt.

 

Vitality Park offers eco-friendly sports and fitness functions. The 1,400-square-meter site includes basketball courts, table tennis and fitness facilities, blending fun and interaction to meet the needs of different ages.

The greenbelt is an ideal option for camping enthusiasts and peach blossom lovers.

 

The design of the greenbelt centers on two parks – Qidong Forest Park and Chunguang Park.

 

The 140,000-square-meter Qidong Forest Park, a key part of the city's Outer Ring greenbelt, is located east of the A20 Outer Ring Expressway, with its main entrance on Wuwei Road.

 

The "Maple Forest Landscape" transforms former palm trees into red maples beside a lotus pond, crafting a poetic scene. The "Peach Brook Origin" attraction features a flower stream in a mixed forest and glade, inviting visitors to stroll along a peach-blossom water garden.

 

The park is worth a visit for its two lawns – a 1,000-square-meter lakeside one and a 2,000-square-meter central one, both ideal for camping.

 

Chunguang Park, one of the first parks on the belt, draws inspiration from "The Peach Blossom Land," a fable written by Chinese scholar Tao Yuanming in AD 421 about an ethereal utopia where people lead an ideal existence in harmony with nature.

The spring scenery is enchanting at Chunguang Park

Focusing on peach blossoms, the park introduces red and white peach varieties. A central island, connected by a boardwalk and surrounded by peach trees, resembles a "Peach Blossom Island," creating picturesque scenes with lakeside reflections.

 

As a key park node, Chunguang Park uses spaces under the Wuwei Road Bridge and along the Xinchapu River to connect the whole greenbelt from south to north.

 

It features 10 scenes like "Flower Brook Stroll" and "Peach Island," envisioning a beautiful rural life.

 

The lake often sees egrets and little grebes foraging.

 

In April, the park is hosting a peach blossom cultural market, alongside activities like citywalk and "Walking Chairs" art pop-up.

 

The "Walking Chairs" art event, tied to the goal of 50 parks on the belt by late 2025, places 50 chairs in parks and forests. Combining park views, green belt wildlife and art installations, visitors can pose on chairs in the pop-up and their smiling photos will be collected.

The Qidong Forest Park features vibrant greenery.
