Hanxiang Water Expo Park is adjacent to the Huangpu River and covers an area of 400 mu. It is a key tourist project in the suburbs of Shanghai. This is a protected area for famous ancient trees, with over 600 trees that are over a hundred years old. They stand tall and majestic, with some showing signs of age and new growth. Ginkgo, camphor, and crepe myrtle trees, among others, display their unique beauty, complementing the surrounding scenery and creating a vibrant ecological landscape.
The park is also a true "ancient bridge museum." Nearly 50 ancient and replica bridges can be found scattered throughout the park. From the five-arch Hanxiang Bridge, to the single-arch Xiangjing Bridge, to the three-arch Xingshi Bridge, as well as beam-type flat bridges, curved bridges, and corridor bridges, each has its own distinctive shape.
In addition to ancient trees and bridges, the architecture in the park is also unique. Covered walkways and pavilions over flowing water are presented in gray bricks and black tiles, with red carved wooden doors and windows, and blue brick paved floors, showcasing the brilliance of traditional architecture. The Ancient Cultural Area focuses on the exploration and display of the Huangpu River water culture, Maqiao ancient culture, and historical cultural figures of Maqiao. It includes the Maqiao Ancient Cultural Relics Simulation Museum and the Dong Qichang Painting Academy, allowing visitors to deeply appreciate the historical charm of this land.
Hanxiang Water Expo Park is a unique place that perfectly integrates classical gardens with modern experiences. The park has introduced projects such as luxury camping, water sports clubs, river-view gardens, crazy little tanks, cormorant fishing, and a trendy travel photography base. Here, you can fully experience the joy of water sports. Kayaking and paddleboarding are popular activities in the park, allowing you to freely navigate the sparkling river and feel the blend of water and wind.
