I struck gold on my Jiangsu road trip! Yancheng Yellow Sea Forest Park really touched my heart 💕! It's a 1-hour drive from the city center, and as soon as I entered the park, I was enveloped by lush greenery. Miyazaki's animated world was right before my eyes, and even the air carried the scent of plants!
✅Sightseeing Train!
Retro carriages + wooden seats, clattering through the metasequoia forest, every casual shot looks like a Japanese movie screenshot! It's recommended to wear light-colored dresses; when the wind blows, the skirts flutter, and your WeChat Moments likes will explode!
✅Sky Walkway!
Walking forward on soft fallen leaves, the rustling sound underfoot is super therapeutic~ The metasequoias on both sides are taller than a three-story building; looking up, it's a "natural green umbrella" ☂️!
✅Misty Forest
Overlooking the entire metasequoia forest is incredibly stunning, especially at sunset, when the whole forest is dyed a warm yellow, it's so beautiful it leaves you speechless 🌇!
Besides the must-visit spots mentioned above, there are also European-style wooden houses and a dinosaur park, all great places for kids and photos. You can combine it with a day trip to the nearby Chinese Milu Park.
✨Little Tips:
- Wear comfortable sneakers! The park is huge; if you plan to walk all day, it's recommended to rent a vehicle~
- It's even more beautiful in autumn; it's recommended to visit again in October or November when the leaves turn red~
- The light is best from 3-5 PM; don't miss it for atmospheric photos!
This trip to Yancheng was truly worthwhile! I'll come again next autumn; there are different sceneries throughout the four seasons.
