Not a bridge too far-Chongming Island
0 
Traditional fishing
Not far from the highway leading to the Changjiang Bridge lies the Yingdong Ecological Village (20 yuan). Here tourists can use traditional boats and fishing implements to see what they can catch. Fishing nets and poles can be rented for half a day for 10 yuan, and trips around the lake on one of the old junks costs 10 yuan. You'll have to pay for any fish caught, costing from 16 yuan per kilogram and up.
Non-fishers will also be enthralled - or maybe appalled - by the chance to view cock fighting and goat fighting. The Yindong Ecological Village offers places to stay the night from 200 yuan and up.
Getting there
The fastest way to get to Chongming Island is by two bus lines (12 yuan, one way), accessible from Metro Line 1's Wenshui Road Station or from Line 2's Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station (Exit 6). The buses take about an hour to get to Chenjia Village on Chongming Island. Note that the village is close to the eastern tip of the island, but a good 60 kilometers away from the Dongping Forest Park.
If you want to go to Chongming's center at Nanmen and closer to the Dongping Forest Park, it's best to go by ferry (45min to 1 hour) from the Baogang Port. To get there, you'll have to take Metro Line 1 to the end at Fujin Road, and then take a cab to the port.
