## The route

Take Shanghai Metro Line 9 to Sheshan Station. From there, it’s a 15-minute taxi ride or a 30-minute run northwest along Taoyuan Road to the forest park entrance. Alternatively, take a bus from the station directly to the park. It’s the perfect destination for a long-run adventure out of the city.
