Yangzhou Luyang Lake | A Verdant Poem Flowing Through Time

The green of Luyang Lake is a spiritual poem jointly brewed by nature and light and shadow. A thousand pond cypresses, like halberd-wielding guards, stand silently in the clear, mirror-like lake, their roots intertwined with the water's hue, quietly weaving a secret forest floating on the water. Duckweed, like a complete matcha-colored canvas, spreads to the horizon, glowing with a hazy soft light in the faint glow. Occasionally, egrets skim the water and fly by, their clear calls breaking the tranquility, as if adding a lively annotation to this painting.
A light boat glides slowly, oars creaking, parting the duckweed and creating ripples, like opening a secret door hidden beyond reality. If you stroll leisurely along the wooden boardwalk, it's as if you're walking through a giant ink wash painting, each step treading to the rhythm of light, shadow, and verdant green. This is not only a favored filming location for movies like "So Many Years" but also a secluded place where the soul can find solace and whisper with nature.
