Green Island Reed Maze

Green Island Reed Maze

The Green Island Reed Maze is situated in the boundless reed marshes of Yuansha Tidal Flat at the northeast corner of Changxing Island. It is divided into three main play areas. The first area is the boating zone, featuring thousands of acres of reeds crisscrossed by meandering water channels, all surrounded by green vistas. As visitors paddle through the seemingly endless maze, the mysterious and untamed beauty of nature unfolds. The second area is the water play zone, a natural swimming area where water from the Yangtze River is channeled here to form crystal-clear blue waters. The surface glistens under the sunlight, resembling a clear lake nestled within the reed marshes. The sandy bottom is hard-packed, and the pool is divided into shallow, mid-depth, and deep sections. Families with children can enjoy endless fun splashing around in the water. The third area is the fishing zone, where various fishponds are home to both wild fish and shrimp as well as artificially stocked species—making it a perfect destination for fishing enthusiasts to immerse themselves in nature, relax, and cultivate their minds. This attraction has garnered widespread acclaim among domestic and international tourists. In addition, just beyond the “Shanghai Green Island Reed Maze” lies the mighty Yangtze River. Standing on the outer embankment and looking north, Hengsha Island is just a stone’s throw away; looking south, the expanse of thousand-acre reed marshes spreads out before your eyes. The site is also adjacent to a vast thousand-acre orange grove, with clusters of bamboo forests scattered around. When autumn arrives after summer fades, climbing to a high vantage point and looking inward reveals a vibrant tapestry of orange fruits and green leaves. Looking outward, you’ll see white reed flowers dancing in the wind, creating a breathtaking scene reminiscent of “a lonely egret soaring with the sunset clouds, autumn waters blending seamlessly into the boundless sky.”
