The floating forest known as the "Amazon of Jiangnan"!

In early winter, when the more than 300 mu of pond cypress in the Shanghu water forest are in full bloom, the towering pond cypress blends with the poetic scenery, creating a beautiful sight.
The trees here are passionate red, brilliant yellow, shy green, and the brightest colors look like oil paintings.
The mist-shrouded forest makes you feel like you have entered a fairyland on earth. Walking on the plank road, you can see the tall and straight trunks of the pond cypress and bald cypress, with graceful shapes. Their reflections in the water are both dynamic and static, which is very photogenic.
As the bamboo raft slowly enters the depths of the water forest, you will be immersed in the pond cypress, as if you have transformed into a flying bird and entered a bird's paradise. Watching the dancing egrets and listening to the humming and singing of unknown birds, it is a stunning picture, so pleasant.
The leaves of Shanghu Lake are so beautiful that you never get tired of looking at them. Every day, they present different maple scenery and different reds. The beautiful ink painting of Jiangnan expresses your feelings in poems and paintings.
You must come to Shanghu Lake to immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery limited to autumn and winter. Recommended: The fairy tale secret of the water forest
Best viewing point recommendation: Water Forest
The water forest, known as the "Amazon of Jiangnan", is located in the northwest corner of Hexiangzhou in Shanghu Scenic Area. It is the largest ecological wetland forest in East China. Dense pond cypress trees grow in the waters. The dreamy water forest seems to transition from an ochre-colored ink painting to a colorful oil painting from late autumn to early winter, becoming the finishing touch of Shanghu's natural landscape. "The clear water and redwoods are all in the painting, and the light boat is floating in the painting." Paddling a bamboo raft here and slowly entering the depths of the forest on the water is like entering a fairy tale world.
Recommendation 2: Red maple leaves are like fire
Recommended best viewing spots: Fushui Villa and Hexiangzhou Wisteria Corridor, with beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, maple viewing and various sceneries that are worthy of pictures, with red maple leaves and green clouds. When the maple leaves are dyed red, they seem to have turned into works of art of nature. Each leaf is a unique painting. The red shadows of the maple leaves float, as thick as oil paintings. The red leaves and the clear water set off each other, showing brilliant colors. Come to Shanghu to enjoy the maple leaves in this beautiful season~
