1. CHENGDU : the Floating Green Island Water Forest

Just one hour from Chengdu to the « Floating Green Island Water Forest » !Yes, unexpectedly, there is also a water forest around Chengdu. The green color of the water is refreshing. A large straight metasequoia stands in the water, like a floating green island !

The dreamlike light and shadow sprinkled through the branches and leaves on the water surface filled with green grass :  is it simply the original trace of the Wizard of Oz ? 

Chinese families love to dream awake !

When you come to the depths of the woods and hear the gurgling water, you can find the green forest in this fairy tale world.

This is a forest wetland park with a very large area. There are rivers and waters in the park, forests are everywhere, and greenery is rippling. Even in summer, you can feel refreshing when you step into it.

2. BEIJING: Cherry Valley and the Botanic Garden

In Beijing, there is a summer resort that never attracted public attention before: the towering Metasequoia forest and the gurgling creek : your eyes will be full of green plants, as if you are walking into the mystery of a fairy tale forest, and moreover a full oxygen area. So healthy !

The Cherry Valley and the Botanic Garden near Beijing are real treasures for Nature lovers ! Streams and peaches in the spring, Ginkgo in autumn : Metasequoia forests are too beautiful to be visited and enjoyed all at once. 

This year, a lot of Chinese finally visited the “Summer Twilight Forest”, which has been planted for a long time.

It is recommended that you come in a sunny day. The feeling about the ray of light in this scenic area to take pictures differs significantly if the weather is not full of light.  Enjoying the amazing verticality of the trees and large areas of the twilight forest will quickly appear full off surprises 

3. The Luyang Lake Wetland Park

There is a fairyland water forest around Yangzhou :  Towering Metasequoia Lake Park floating on the lake like the « green foam of a matcha tea ». It’s also quiet, romantic and very refreshing in summer 

It is recommended to charter a car in advance and it will take about one hour from Yangzhou. Try to negotiate the round-trip price with the driver in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to get a taxi back to Luyang Lake of  Yangzhou !

Try to come in the morning as soon as possible : the green algae will be scattered by the boat in the afternoon, it won’t look so good. The tour time takes about half a day. Firstly line up for boating, then take pictures for the wooden boats.

4. Huang Shan Huizou

Some people say that the beauty of Huangshan is in Huizhou. We didn’t have an experience of Huizhou before. Maybe never found the right season  to get there ? IBut now people who saw it can’t find a word to describe the beauty of this small village.

It is said that this village has a history of more than a thousand years. You will find that you have watched any  amazing movies related to these forests in the past, some similar images can be found here.

Maple forest, streams, wetlands, wildflowers, wooden bridges and the ancient village with blue tiles and white walls behind.  A real painting of freshness, tranquility and some warmth is presented in this way.

5. Shanghai Qingxi National Park

This place is too fairy. It is recommended to come in a sunny day! At 17:30, the light is already in a mess. But the sunny light is very otherworldly !

The most beautiful viewing spots for aquatic forests are Dalian Wetland and Dalian Lake. Along the way, you can watch large areas of poppies, reeds, coin grass and then walk 3 kilometers to reach the water forest!

Here we can see Metasequoia trees are all artificially planted. What a big job ! The arrangement is regular and the composition is beautiful. There are also many waterbirds inhabiting ; fewer people after 3 o’clock. Friends who like to take pictures can wait for the sunset.
