Ride to Sheshan National Forest Park, circle around the mountain, and enjoy a quiet and leisurely time alone. All the way along, you will see lush greenery, which is instantly comfortable.

Park your bike and climb up West Sheshan for a visit.

The Xiudaozhe Pagoda is the first to catch your eye. When you are in the mood, you can also visit the Shanghai Astronomical Museum and the Sheshan Basilica.

The East Sheshan observation tower, Buddha Fragrance Spring, Riding Dragon Dyke, and the Bamboo Shoots Mountain stone tablet are also reasons for you to stop and stay~

Note: East Sheshan and West Sheshan are only a street away. It only takes 5 minutes to reach them along Wai Qing Song Highway.

Slowly ride from East Sheshan and pass by Longyuan Road, where trees line both sides. Ride another 20 minutes west along Chenhua Highway and you’ll reach Chenshan Botanical Garden~ Take a break here, admire the flowers, lie on the lawn, and enjoy the leisurely time.

The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the fragrance is exquisite.

You can also take your child to the Smurfs Theme Park for a spin, say hello to the cute Smurfs, bravely face the terrible Gargamel, or sit and rest for a while and watch the Smurfs fight Gargamel.

Tianma Mountain Park

Shetian Kun Highway is an indispensable cycling route! Ride along Shetian Kun Highway and arrive at Tianma Mountain Park. Casually circle around the mountain. Wherever you look, there is scenery, and everywhere is comfortable green. You can also admire the Huzhu Pagoda, which is more inclined than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Xiao Kunsan Park
