Qingshan Lake Water Forest. In the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, green mountains and waters are not uncommon, but in Lin'an, Hangzhou, there is a healing scenery like a real-life Emerald City - Qingshan Lake Water Forest. The first thing that catches your eye here is the lush and tall water cypresses. As you get closer, you realize that the ground beneath your feet is a lake covered with green duckweed. Walking on the elevated walkway, gazing at the green water among the trees, you might occasionally see a crack, which is actually a white goose or a wild duck swimming by. The most anticipated activity here is the water project, where you can paddle a kayak through the green cypress forest, creating a picturesque scene of people swimming in a painting. When the drone flies up, capturing the entire water forest from above, the cypress forest transitions from emerald green to orange and red in the late autumn season. Light and shadow interweave among the trunks, sometimes bright and sometimes serene. Location: Qingshan Lake Water Forest, Lin'an, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Transportation: Self-driving, navigate to 'Babaili Liuzhuang Parking Lot' or take Metro Line 16 to 'Babaili' C1 exit and walk about 800 meters to the visitor center. Tickets (Water Forest): 40 RMB/person. Kayak: 220 RMB/hour for two people or two adults and one child; 120 RMB/hour for one person. Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:30) tips: √ Come around three or four in the afternoon for better lighting and great photos. √ There is a free park boardwalk that crosses the lake to the other side, where you can cycle or take the scenic area's electric car.

The boardwalk at the entrance is closer to the lake and connected to the ground, allowing for more unique photos. √ Kayaking requires a separate fee and is located deep in the park, along the water forest walkway. √ Drones are allowed, but be aware that there are more people and drones on weekends and holidays. Be careful when flying through the forest. Aerial shots of the winding paths and water cypresses are beautiful.

I want to go to nature to breathe some fresh air! After strolling around the West Lake, it's just a 1-hour carpool ride to the long-awaited 'Water Matcha Forest' which is really dreamy. After visiting, all I want to say is, I regret it! I regret only coming now; it's the most successful trend-following I've ever done! Not a single disappointment~ Being able to take photos in a weekend tourist spot without anyone else in them requires a bit of cunning~ Transportation tips: ·For self-driving, navigate to 'Liuzhuang Yizhan Parking Lot' P5 yuan/h ·Take subway line 16 to Babaili Station C1 exit, then walk 1.4km ·If you come late on the weekend, parking is basically full. If you don't drive and don't want to take the subway for so long and walk, I recommend using 'DiDi carpool'!! It's convenient and comfortable for travel, and the price is very reasonable! Photography suggestions: If you want good photos, don't skimp! The water plank road area is really better for taking pictures!! There are fewer people, scattered in the forest so it won't be too crowded. Come early! Before 9 am on weekends and before 10 am on weekdays, you can basically get the effect of having the place to yourself. The best spot for photos is near the water plank road area. Take high-angle shots to get close-up photos with the 'matcha lake surface'. If you have a drone, bring it along, a whole expanse of green is so pleasing to the eyes, 👍👍 In the water forest, you'll often encounter black swans and ducks, and if you're lucky, you might even come across wild deer. It's really like a fairy tale. Qingshan Lake Water Forest

The autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is always short and precious. After the golden ginkgo leaves the stage, the golden red Metasequoia is about to debut, bringing the last carnival to this season. The Metasequoia forest of Qing Shan Lake is the finale of autumn.

December is the best time to visit Lin'an, but the area is too large to cover in a day, so I only visited two places. 1. Lin'an Museum: The museum is currently exhibiting ancient Chinese jewelry. The first picture shows a replica of a Song dynasty phoenix crown, the second picture shows a beautiful phoenix hairpin, the third picture shows a gold hairpin as thin as a cicada's wing, and the fourth picture shows a poem by Su Shi, which says that Yuqian (Lin'an) does not follow Confucianism (I understand this to mean that Lin'an does not follow the patriarchal teachings, and women have a high status, which also shows that women in Zhejiang have been well-educated and respected since ancient times). The museum mainly exhibits cultural relics from the Qian family of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, as shown in pictures 5-7. The Qian family has produced many famous people over the past thousand years, including the three Qian scientists of modern China, who are the pride of Lin'an. The museum is also beautiful, with a unique architectural style. 2. Qingshan Lake Water Forest: In early to mid-December, the redwoods, blue sky, and green duckweed create a feast for the eyes.
