Steal a Bit of Autumn in Xiamen: Half-Day Maze Fun with Kids at Wuyuan Bay, Enjoying the Bald Cypress Even Before It Turns Red

The maze at Wuyuan Bay Wetland Park in Xiamen has always been a popular spot in autumn and winter. Many come for the crimson bald cypress trees that peak from late December to January—but the maze in October actually offers another kind of healing experience.

If you’re planning to bring your kids here soon, keep this little guide handy:

🌿 October Bald Cypress: Green Still Prevails, Light Yellow Just Beginning
At this time, the cypress forest hasn’t fully changed colors; most are still fresh green with hints of pale yellow at the treetops. Although it’s not the spectacular fiery red, the gentle autumn vibe is quietly brewing, making photos look more elegant.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Maze Fun with Kids: Crowded but More Fun
On weekends, this place is truly a paradise for families. Many parents bring their children to run and play through the maze paths. The maze itself isn’t very complicated, but it’s just right for kids to run around and explore, keeping them entertained all afternoon.

🎣 Lakeside Leisure: More Than Just Cypress, It’s a Slice of Life
Walking along the wooden boardwalk, you’ll see people quietly fishing, the lingering softness of late summer lotus, and others resting in pavilions or releasing balloons. The pace is slow, the atmosphere relaxed—this is Xiamen’s little autumn happiness.

Tips
· Recommended to come around 3 to 4 PM for soft lighting and great photos
· The maze is free to enter; there’s little shade, so wear a hat on sunny days
· Bring bubble machines and small balloons to add fun and great photo moments
· Parking is available at Wuyuan Bay Wetland Park parking lot, just a short walk away

📝 Even if you miss the peak red of the bald cypress, the Wuyuan Bay maze is still a great place to relax and enjoy quality family time. If you’re in Xiamen, why not pick a weekend afternoon to “prepay” a little bit of autumn here?
