Sheshan Forest Park is a veritable backyard garden in Shanghai, with an area of only 4 square kilometers, but it is the only remaining natural forest ecosystem on the land of Shanghai, and it is an excellent place to get close to nature.

Sheshan is 13 kilometers long and has 12 peaks. Among them, Kugong Mountain is the shortest, with a height of only more than 10 meters and a length of only more than 20 meters. The length of the rest of the mountains is between 300 meters ~ 700 meters, and the highest altitude is 98.2 meters. It is best to regard Sheshan as a place for walking, the greening rate of the park is 81.2%, the plant resources are abundant, 104 species of lower plants, 788 species of higher plants have been found, and 578 genera of 216 families have been designed. In addition, there are also abundant wildlife resources in the mountains and forests, and there are about 250 species of migratory birds and resident birds in Jiufeng.

The park is divided into East Sheshan Park, West Sheshan Park, Tianma Mountain Park, Xiaokunshan Park, etc. Similar to other mountain and forest scenic spots, there are traditional Chinese cultural landscapes in the park, such as the Jewel Light Pagoda, the Xiudao Tower, and the Meigong Diaoyu Rock, which are relatively similar and not scarce. In contrast, the Catholic Church in Xisheshan has a Romanesque architectural style, which is worth a stop. The building plane is in the shape of an East Latin cross, the east and west halls are 56 meters long, and the north and south are 25 meters wide. However, its scale and beauty are not as good as those of Xujiahui Church, and tourists should pay attention to the priority of each attraction for the purpose of appreciating the church architecture.
