Pudong's largest urban park, covering 140 hectares, completed and opened in 2000: laid out around expansive lawns, Mirror Lake (Jingtian Lake) and a rural countryside zone; the spring plum blossom festival and holiday music-and-fireworks events are traditional fixtures. The ring-shaped main road suits cycling, while boat rentals on the lake, wetland boardwalks and flower-sea areas are popular spots; adjacent to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, together they form twin leisure landmarks for Pudong residents, drawing morning and evening runners and weekend campers.

Getting there: Metro Line 2, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station
