Qingxi Country Park is located in the southwest of Qingpu District, bordered by Shanjing Port to the east, planned roads to the west, Lianxi Highway to the south, and Dianshan Lake to the north. The planned total area is approximately 22.35 square kilometers, with the first phase opening covering an area of 4.6 square kilometers. The park began operations in October 2016 and is open to the public for free, although the conservation area is free to enter but requires a ticket, which can be obtained on-site.
As the only wetland-featured country park in Shanghai, Qingxi Country Park boasts a diverse array of aquatic species, making it a natural gene bank for native aquatic species in Shanghai. The park is rich in species resources, with a complex network of lakes, beaches, marshes, and islands, forming a diversified ecosystem of wetlands, lakes, rivers, and forests. Centered around Dalian Lake, the park is divided into three major functional areas: Water Town Farming Demonstration Area, Ecological Conservation Area, and Fishing Village Leisure Experience Area.


Natural villages are preserved within the park, and there is a Lotus Heart Island in the middle-south area of Dalian Lake. The unique water forest in Shanghai is known as the奇观 of Metasequoia. Currently, 185 species of birds have been identified, including the Chinese merganser, a national key protected animal, and 39 species of national second-level protected animals, such as the Kingfisher and the Black-eared Kite.


The water forest, combined with the abundance of waterfowl, also forms a scenic spot in Qingxi Country Park – the Heron Shadow in the Metasequoia Forest. The park is open all year round from 08:30 to 16:30, with the Ecological Conservation Area (water forest) closing at 16:00. The specific business status is subject to the daily opening conditions.
