Located in the Songjiang District of Shanghai, 广富林遗址 (Guangfulin Relics Park) offers a comprehensive look at the region's prehistoric and imperial past. The site is most famous for its 'floating' museum structures, which house artifacts in an innovative underwater setting. Visitors can wander through a mix of reconstructed traditional buildings and modern exhibition halls, all set within a lush park environment. While it is a significant journey from the city center, the park provides a quiet, reflective atmosphere and a deep dive into the cultural evolution of the Yangtze River Delta.

广富林遗址 is highly regarded by visitors for its impressive scale and the unique design of its underwater museum. Many reviewers appreciate the deep historical context provided, noting that the site covers 6,000 years of human activity. The architecture is a major draw, with several guests describing the buildings as an 'architectural marvel.' However, some visitors feel the site can appear overly 'artificial' or man-made, and some were disappointed that certain artifacts require additional tickets to view. A recurring practical tip is to bring a translation app, as almost all information is presented in Mandarin without English guides. Despite the long travel time from central Shanghai, most agree it is a worthwhile destination for those interested in history and quiet, scenic walks.
