Xuzhou’s Ultimate Photo Spot! A "Matcha Green Fairy Tale Secret" Hidden in the City Center with Free Stunning Shots

Jinshan Park in Xuzhou hides a "Fairy Matcha Lake" that’s gone viral on social media but remains little known. Every casual shot looks like a forest-themed masterpiece—you won’t want to leave once you arrive! Step into the left side of the park and instantly enter a green fairy tale—tall, straight dawn redwoods soaring into the sky, the lake surface covered with dense green duckweed, like a giant spilled matcha jar. When the wind blows, ripples form, and even the air feels fresh and green. Sunlight filters through the dawn redwood branches, casting scattered light spots. The winding path weaves through the trees, each step a natural photo frame. Standing by the lake, leaning against a tree trunk, or walking along the path, every shutter click will amaze your friends. The forest vibe sticks to you instantly! 📍Precise Navigation: Xuzhou [Jinshan Park] Parking Lot (direct access to the main photo spot) ❌Avoid Pitfall: Don’t search for “Dawn Redwood Trail”! It will mislead you 4 kilometers away to Ziwei Island. The real Matcha Lake is only inside Jinshan Park! 📸Photo Tips (Tested with zero bad shots, a must-see to attract attention) 1. Outfit Formula: Black and white/light colors are always a win! Simple monochrome against the deep green background creates a high-contrast, photogenic look, instantly turning you into a forest movie star. 2. Golden Time: Rush between 3-5 PM! The sunlight is soft and not harsh, creating beautiful light spots through the leaves, maximizing the atmosphere. 3. Treasure Spot: The start of the dawn redwood trail is a must-shoot! The layering and depth right at the trail entrance are amazing, easily creating a cinematic feel (see photos 2 and 3). 4. Crowd Avoidance: If it’s crowded at the start, walk deeper inside! It’s almost empty inside, with the entire dawn redwood forest to yourself—no need to compete for spots, shoot freely. 5. Pose Ideas: Sit leaning on a tree trunk, look down while touching the duckweed, or stroll along the path for dynamic shots—lazy yet photogenic. 6. Props Bonus: Bring a coffee cup, newspaper, or vintage poster to instantly enhance the scene’s vibe—unique and stylish. 7. Off-Peak Guide: Avoid weekend rush! Visit on weekdays for fewer people and a peaceful, immersive empty-frame shoot. ⚠️Check-in Reminders - Free entry! Unlock this fairy-tale beauty with zero admission fee. - Best Viewing Period: June to November when the duckweed is lush and green, perfect for photos. - Safety First: The lakeside is slippery; don’t get too close to the water when shooting—beware of “turning into a green turtle”~
