A poetic corner where the water and sky blend as one

In Guangzhou, gently caressed by the autumn breeze, I found this secret garden hidden within the city🌿! The autumn at South China Botanical Garden is truly healing, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting onto the lake like spilled fragments of gold✨

📍South China National Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences
🚏1190 Tianyuan Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou
🕒07:30-17:30 (Better to go early!)
🎫Admission 20 RMB

➡️The right way to enjoy autumn:
1️⃣The lakeside walking trail is a must-visit! Blue skies and white clouds reflect in the emerald lake, and the faint buildings in the distance look like castles from a fairy tale🏰
2️⃣The palm garden path is perfect for photos, with the dappled sunlight through the leaves creating an amazing effect
3️⃣Bring a picnic mat and sunbathe on the lakeside lawn, and remember to pack some snacks (there are limited dining options inside the garden)
4️⃣The evening sunlight gilds the trees, making the lake surface the most beautiful at this time🌅

⚠️Tips:
- The garden is huge! Wear comfortable shoes
- There are still quite a few mosquitoes in autumn, so bring insect repellent
- You can rent bicycles to explore (tandem bike 50 RMB/hour)
- The greenhouse area requires a separate ticket (50 RMB)

I saw many people sketching with drawing boards and couples taking wedding photos💕 It turns out autumn is not just about red leaves; the autumn colors in the south can be this gentle too~
