Gongqing Forest Park, Forest park in Yangpu District, Shanghai, China

Gongqing Forest Park is a forest park in Yangpu District, Shanghai, China. It covers a large area and is divided into a northern section with hills, lakes, and lawns, and a southern section with small bridges and streams.

The area was originally a tidal marsh near the Huangpu River. In the 1950s, the government drained the land and turned it into a nursery, which later became a public forest park in the 1980s.

The name Gongqing, meaning Communist Youth League, reflects its origins as a youth-run nursery. Today, visitors can see groups of young people enjoying the amusement rides and sports facilities, especially in the northern section.

The park is easy to reach by metro line 8 to Shiguang Road, then a short walk. Once inside, paths lead through both sections, and you can join activities like boating or cycling.

The park is home to over 200 species of trees, totaling more than 300,000 trees. It is also the only forest park located within Shanghai's central urban area.
