THE STOPS
Where will you get off?
Follow the line order and choose a neighbourhood, a view or somewhere to slow down.
3 places
01Xinzhuang Park
A garden pause before heading south
Garden paths, trees and water make a gentle break in old Xinzhuang. Stop for a short walk before deciding whether to continue to Fengxian.
Walk from Xinzhuang station to 421 Xinbang Road. Allow time for the walk to and from the park.
Allow around · 45–90 min
Shanghai Fish
Choose your own lakeside walk
Parks and waterside paths surround Jinhai Lake. Choose one entrance and a stretch of shoreline for an easy outing rather than trying to circle the whole area.
Leave Line 5 at Jinhai Lake, then walk or take onward transport to your chosen park entrance. The different lakeside areas are not all beside the station.
Allow around · 60–120 min
03Fengxian Museum
Add a museum to your lakeside day
Explore Fengxian’s local history and seawall heritage, then choose current exhibitions that interest you. Pair the museum with Shanghai Fish or make it the indoor focus of your day.
From Jinhai Lake station, continue to 333 Hupan Road by a suitable local route. Check current opening and admission arrangements before setting out.
Allow around · 90–150 min

BEFORE YOU GO
A little planning goes a long way.
Check the train’s destination
For Jinhai Lake, take a train towards Fengxian Xincheng. Line 5 has branches; check the destination and station signs for any required change.
Choose a lakeside entrance first
Jinhai Lake station, the lakeside parks and the museum are separate locations. Include local transfers, the return to the station and venue opening times in your plan.
