A spontaneous trip to Dongkeng, Shengzhou, 3 hours from Shanghai.

🚗 Want to escape the summer heat and the hustle and bustle of the city? Take a spontaneous trip to the cool and refreshing Jelly Creek in Shengzhou, just 3 hours from Shanghai! 🍃 📍This time, we went to Dongkeng Village's Jelly Creek, a new hidden gem in Shengzhou. It's a beautiful and quiet place, like a paradise. We were the only group there, except for the last deep pool, which was crowded with swimmers from nearby. 🌳 💦 Although the water level was a bit low this time, it was perfect for non-swimmers to play safely. 👫 The scenery along the way was amazing, with surprises around every corner. You don't have to wait until the last deep pool to swim. You can swim in the previous pools if you want. Hiking route: Dongkengkou Bus Stop → Dongkeng Bus Stop (The route is very simple. Just follow the river upstream.) Hiking distance: 3.5 km Elevation gain: 133 m Total time: 4 hours (including taking photos and playing in the water) Locus Map: 8137597 Supplies: No supply points in the middle, only at the entrance and exit. 🌞 The summer sun shines through the leaves, warming your body and lifting your spirits. Here, you can leave behind the fatigue of the city and get close to nature. If you're tired of the city, come to Shengzhou and enjoy the coolness and tranquility of nature. You'll fall in love with this beautiful place. 💕
