Spend a few hours in the nature-filled surroundings of Shanghai Chenshan Botanic Gardens. Admire the collection of plant species, see if you can spot some birds or simply take off your shoes and enjoy the grass between your toes.
You'll have to pay an entry fee to explore this showcase of plants in the riverside district of Songjiang, so check the cost before you go. If you'd like more to do after your visit to Shanghai Chenshan Botanic Gardens, Sheshan National Forest Park, Sheshan Hill and Shanghai Outlets aren't far away.
