The lake is wide and clear. You can walk along the shore path or stand on the Dragon Bridge to watch the fine golden light rising from the water surface. On days when the weather is good, Longshan Lake always "follows the crowd". After all, no one wants to waste the good weather. You may be able to see a few cute ducks playing in the water. They are not affected by the cold weather and enjoy this wonderful time. Find a bench by the lake and sit down, close your eyes, quietly listen to the songs of the birds, and feel the caress of the breeze. All your worries will disappear at this moment. ⭐Reeds floating in the winter atmosphere When it comes to winter, reed flowers always come to mind, and Longshan Lake has just that. In winter, Longshan Lake not only has fir forests, but also reed bushes. Put on a dark coat and go shoot a group of atmospheric blockbusters with your friends. It’s even more beautiful at sunset. The setting sun dyes the reed bushes into luminous gold. It’s so romantic. Like words. ⭐Methasequoia gradually turns yellow, winter limited color The metasequoia forest in Longshan Lake attracts much attention in winter, but it is still yellow and green now, and it is still early to turn red. But even so, it still attracts many people to come here to walk, rest, and daze... In the forest, breathe They all smell of vegetation. It is a unique scent that combines the freshness of grass, the mellowness of leaves, and the elegance of wild flowers. ⭐See the shape of the wind on the greenway around the lake The road around the lake is flat and spacious, with lake scenery on one side and vegetation on the other. The wind blows and the yellow leaves fall, showing the traces of winter. Riding around a lake with friends, or just taking a walk aimlessly, with the wind blowing in your hair, happiness is in the moment. ⭐Looking at this bird and pavilion, it seems like we have arrived at the West Lake When my eyes touched the flying bird and the ancient tower, a wonderful feeling suddenly came to my heart. In a trance, I felt as if I had arrived at the West Lake. ⭐Wait for the sunset and watch the sunset If you have time in the evening, go to Longshan Lake to watch the sunset. As time goes by, the red clouds gradually cover the sky and are reflected on the lake, showing the beauty of "water and sky are one color". Watching the sunset, it seems like time has stood still. All worries and fatigue were thrown away at this moment.
