Walking and hiking in Songjiang Suburb
This event is part of our traditionaI SOC Family Day Trip series where our members can socialize with old friends and making new friends, and everyone share the cost together in a relaxing vibe. This year the theme of the SOC Family Day is exploring Shanghai Outskirts. And the second stop is Shanghai Songjiang Suburb.
Formly as a county, Songjiang District has a long history and is known as cultural root of Shanghai.Not only the Guangfulin Cultural Relics were found here, but it is where Xietang River, Yuanxiejing River and Hengliaojing River gather and form the Huangpu River.
As the backyard garden of Shanghai, Songjiang boasts to own some beautiful hills, among which Tianmashan is the highest hill in Shanghai with the height at 99.8m above sea level. And the Huzhu Pagoda on the top is more learning than the Tower of Pisa in Italy!
