About Chongming
Print Edition
On Chongming Island, with the Yangtze River to the west and the East China Sea to the east, gulls gather in the reeds in Dongtan Wetland area.
Many kinds of trees line the paths through Dongping Forest Park, and Mingzhu Lake glows under the golden sunset at Xisha Wetland area.
Clear water, tall trees, fields and villages make up this tranquil land. Wild cranes, flowers and plants create some of the best sights on the island.
