What you experience is the scenery, what I experience is the tranquility in my heart

🌲Qingshan Lake, Hangzhou|Step into the real-life Wizard of Oz! A guide to breathing in the forest on water! Key points! This water forest is the only water forest wonder in East China, with thousands of acres of dawn redwood trees growing directly from the lake. In summer, the lush green looks like emerald, and in autumn and winter, the rusty red resembles an oil painting. Every photo you take is a forest masterpiece! 📍Address: Qingshan Lake Scenic Area, Keji Avenue, Lin'an District, Hangzhou 🕒Opening hours: 08:00-16:30 (Boating is recommended in the morning) 🌟Recommended activities: 1️⃣ Kayaking through the forest A must-visit! Paddle a transparent boat into the dawn redwood river channels, with sunlight filtering through the trees like scattered gold. Remember to choose a yellow boat for better photos! (💰120 RMB/hour) 2️⃣ Lakeside cycling path A 5 km long rainbow cycling path with six viewing platforms along the way. Rent a bike and ride leisurely (tandem bike 40 RMB/hour) 📸Perfect photo spots: ✔️The bend on the water forest boardwalk (aerial view is amazing) ✔️The tree shadow corridor at 3 PM when the sunlight slants 🍃Real experience: A hidden gem with few people and beautiful scenery! Sitting in the kayak, you suddenly understand the meaning of "a heart as calm as water." It’s recommended to bring some snacks for a super healing picnic in the middle of the lake~ ⚠️Notes: -Parking fee is 5 RMB/hour -Kayaking will get your shoes wet! Wear slippers or bring shoe covers -Drones must be reported in advance
