Walking and kayaking in Qingpu 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 third stop is Shanghai Qingpu Suburb.
As the westmost district in Shanghai Qingpu has very superior geographycal position with developed land and water transportion. Dianshan Lake, the largest freshwater in Shanghai is coming from Qingpu (part is under the administration of Kunshan City in Jiangsu Province). With the rich water resources Qingpu is not only famous for beautiful views such as Zhujiaojiao Water Town, Jinze Water Town and Oriental Land etc, but good location for kayaking. Qingpu is also rich in one vegetable called cane shoots or white shoots especially in Liantang Town.
In this trip we will walk through quiet villages, checking out how the local farmers work hard on the cane shoots fields while in the afternoon sit in our kayaks using our core strength paddling around a local village along over 14K waterway to explore more in this area! It will be very fun day!
