An ecological park in Gaoqiao Town, Pudong, guarding the confluence of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River, opened in 2007: the river-viewing platform where three waters meet offers magnificent vistas; wetland boardwalks, native woodland, and lawns interweave, making it a great Shanghai spot for sunrises over the Yangtze estuary and migratory bird watching; in spring, the azalea garden and February orchids bloom in sweeping drifts. Cycling, picnicking, and camping are the park's most popular activities, and together with Paotaiwan Wetland Park it forms the park belt at the river mouth.
Getting there: Metro Line 6, Gangcheng Road Station, transfer to the Outer Ring Ecological Line
