In Dongtan, more and more Shanghai families are starting to "take weekends seriously."

If you break down an ideal life, it probably comes down to a few things:

Natural landscapes with green shade and cicadas calling—places where kids can run wild to their heart’s content;

A lifestyle where people can lower their guard and adults can truly slow down;

And that sense of calm that lies beyond the bustle of city life—without having to sacrifice everyday convenience.

That’s why more and more attention is crossing the Yangtze River tunnel and turning toward Dongtan Seaside Mingyue under the Oceanic Group.

**　　The scenery here isn’t just a backdrop—it’s life itself**

In 2024, as the Chongming Dongtan Wetland Bird Habitat was officially added to the “World Heritage List,” this land became Shanghai’s first World Natural Heritage site.

As an important stopover on the East Asia–Australasia migratory flyway, it gathers countless migratory birds every year. A negative ion concentration of up to 2746 per cm³ within the community turns every breath into a kind of body cleansing.

For many families in Shanghai, Dongtan’s appeal goes far beyond “ecological indicators.” Here, nature isn’t something you merely view from a distance—it’s integrated into your daily breathing. Wetlands, grass and trees, migratory birds, tides… They are the open-air classroom where children explore the world, and the natural anchor point where adults calibrate their biological clock.

In the early morning, watch the first rays of sunlight spill across the wetlands; in the afternoon, in the fragrant company of plants, just zone out as you please; at dusk, gather around the table to enjoy a true taste of Chongming’s seasonal delights. That “vacation feeling,” which originally required traveling across the city, is ordinary daily life you can reach again and again at Dongtan.

**　　The sparks of commerce and the warmth of neighbors dissolve boundaries here**

At Dongtan Seaside Mingyue, this “natural everyday life” is growing into even more possibilities.

A new Dongtan New Plaza of about 4,000㎡ is seamlessly connected to the Dongwan Amusement Park, forming the community’s “fun engine,” bursting with vivid moments of daily life:

· On the golf lawn, the rich aroma of pour-over coffee collides with the laughter of kids chasing kites;

· In the pet paradise, the “fur kids” at home are also busy socializing—making new friends who share the same interests;

· In the butterfly museum, pairs of curious eyes complete fascinating science-for-learning sessions through the glass;

· By the Egret Lake, people out for walks slow their pace, letting the evening glow tint both their silhouettes and the water red.

More moving than the supporting facilities is the community’s “self-growing” social ecosystem. Over 30 mature community groups in the community cover everything from yoga and red wine to calligraphy and table tennis. These groups aren’t rigidly arranged—they’re led by the “capable folks” among the owners, coming together out of love and born from shared resonance.

At Dongtan Seaside Mingyue, the community hosts nearly 2,000 events per year—on average, more than 5 neighbor get-togethers every day. From everyday small gatherings to the already IP-level “Dongtan Music Beer Festival”—getting a little tipsy on the lawn, dancing under the starry sky. Warmth meets, and feels naturally blended. That long-missed “human touch” lets everyone who’s just arrived instantly fit into this welcoming magnetic field.

**　　The 1-hour urban circle makes “leave whenever” possible**

Even more rare is that this poetic sense doesn’t come at the cost of convenience.

High-quality educational resources, such as the Dongtan School affiliated with Shanghai Experimental School and the Shanghai Dongtan Sinan Road Kindergarten, have already been in place. With the planned completion and opening of Line 22 of the rail transit (Chongming line) by the end of 2026, starting from the community: 4 stops to transfer to Line 12, then 5 stops to connect to Line 9—the Dongtan area is officially included in the “1-hour urban lifestyle circle of Shanghai.”

This means you don’t need to worry about planning long holidays—every weekend can kick off a “light trip” you can set off on just like that. The community also thoughtfully equips “subway-direct shuttle buses,” seamlessly connecting to Chenjiazhen Station, so even people carrying luggage suitcases can reach their destination with ease.

In the past, people chose a place to live with more focus on the home itself; today, what matters more is whether it can carry an ideal kind of life.

Dongtan Seaside Mingyue isn’t only building structures within a world-class ecological zone—it’s at the junction of river and sea in 31° north latitude, where countless families, together, are seriously cultivating a more relaxed, more companionable way of life—and one that’s even closer to nature’s true essence.
