The "Amazon of Jiangnan" stuns in early winter! Ride a bamboo raft through a painted world

In early winter, Changshu Shanghu Water Forest becomes a natural palette🎨! This secret spot, known as the "Amazon of Jiangnan," looks like a vivid oil painting under the warm winter sun~ My little winter joy is to hop on a bamboo raft🛶 and slowly drift into this fairy tale world. The calm lake reflects the colorful autumn scenery, each frame as beautiful as a postcard📸✨ 📍Location: Shanghu Scenic Area Water Forest, Changshu City, Jiangsu Province 🚗Transportation: Self-driving recommended, parking available at the scenic area ⏰Best viewing period: Mid-November to early December 🎫Tickets: Included in the Shanghu Scenic Area ticket Tips: 1️⃣ The bamboo raft tour lasts about 40 minutes; the best light is on sunny afternoons between 3-4 PM 2️⃣ Wear warm-colored clothes for better photos 3️⃣ Remember to bring a thermos cup; sipping hot tea while cruising the lake is super cozy
