Hangzhou is only 13 minutes away from this beautiful sea of flowers in Deqing.

I just found out that there is such a beautiful wetland park around Hangzhou!
A sea of reeds and flowers 🌸
There are few people, so you can avoid the crowds and enjoy the peace and quiet. You can take photos 📸
You can almost enjoy the whole romantic autumn by yourself.

📍: Xiazhu Lake Wetland Park, Deqing
🚘: 0.8 hours by car from Hangzhou

Travel guide 🗺️:
📌 Buy a ticket and take a boat to Le Island. Get off at Le Island Wharf, turn right and you will see a large sea of flowers, as well as a bench and a little girl holding flowers for a photo. The huge hat installation is also very childlike.

📌 The terrace of Craft Coffee ☕, with a large sea of flowers in front of it, is a great place to sit and have a cup of coffee and enjoy the autumn.

📌 If you are hungry, you can go to Xiazhu Lake Fish Soup Rice to replenish your energy. On the way to the Wetland Science Museum, you can see a large sea of pink flowers, which look like pink "waves" 🌊 when the breeze blows.

📌 Go through the Wisteria Corridor to Bird Island, where you can visit the Crested Ibis Viewing Area and the Animal and Plant Specimen Museum.

🔖 Travel tips:
1️⃣ Try to choose a sunny day, and wear light-colored clothes and skirts to take photos of the sea of flowers and reeds.
2️⃣ The scenic area is large, so you can bring more snacks and water. It takes more than half a day to visit the whole area.
3️⃣ November 23 is the 2024 Fangfeng Fishing Festival, where you can watch live fishing and taste fish soup rice.
4️⃣ Remember to take a map at the entrance. There are A and B lines.
