Situated in the Yangpu District of Shanghai, Gongqing Forest Park is bordered by Huangpu River Yangtze River tour on the east and Jungong Road on the west. Occupying a total space of 1965 mu（131 hectares）, it has a grass-and-tree- covered area of 1870.6 mu open to the public. On its northern side is Gongqing Forest Park with an area of 1631 mu. On its southern side is the Bamboo Garden covering 239.6 mu. It is the only park in the city proper that has a unique forest scenery.
The park site used to be a piece of Huangpu River beachland China tour deals. In 1956, Shanghai People’s Government called on the masses to dredge the river and turned its silt into a tree nursery. In 1958, Youth League Secretary Hu Yaobang led a group of youth activists attending a national conference in Shanghai to plant a variety of fruit trees and set up a youth experimental orchard named Gongqing Nursery. At the beginning of 1982, as one of the major projects to increase public green areas in the city, the northern part of the nursery was transformed into Gonging Forest Park. In March 1986, President Jiang Zemin, the then Shanghai mayor, came to the park to plant trees and wrote the inscription “Greenize Shanghai to benefit the people”. In October that year, the park was open to the public. At the end of 1995, the southern part of the nursery was turned into the Bamboo Garden , which opened two years later.
