Be sure to come to this fairytale forest in December

Be sure to come to this fairytale forest in December Last year, many friends around me strongly recommended Huanghai Forest Park to me, saying that the redwood forest there is absolutely beautiful, so this year I paid attention to the weather early and arranged a two-day trip. To be honest, I regret coming too late. The forests are colorful, gorgeous, brilliant, and endless... These words are very appropriate to describe this niche tourist destination. The Metasequoia trees have all turned red these days, and the vast forest of thousands of acres spreads endlessly in all directions, as beautiful as an oil painting, as if you have entered a fairy tale world. Location: Huanghai Forest Park, Dongtai City, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province Transportation: 3 hours by car from Nanjing, or you can take the high-speed rail to Dongtai Station. The Mercure Hotel in the scenic area has 4 shuttle buses per day. Ticket price: 50 yuan/person Conventional route: Metasequoia Corridor - Forest Train - Skywalk - Misty Forest - Forest Eye - Wood Forest - Wooden House Community The scenic area is very large, the whole journey is about 8 kilometers, and it takes 2-3 hours to hike. There are multi-person bicycles and electric vehicles for rent. Popular check-in spots: The forest train runs every half an hour. Not only children, but even adults like to sit on it and travel through the Metasequoia forest that looks like an oil painting. The aerial plank road is a forest trail suspended in mid-air with a wide view. Ten thousand acres of forest are right before your eyes, which is particularly photogenic. The aerial photography of the Misty Forest is the most impressive, and it looks especially like the Misty Forest in the Harry Potter movies! You can climb to the top of the Forest Eye to overlook the view, which is excellent. One of the highlights of the wooden house community scenic area, the neatly arranged wooden houses "lying dormant" here are like a dream kingdom in a fairy tale world. TIPS: 1. The scenic area opens at 8:30 and closes at 17:00, but you can actually enter very early. 2. The parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area is free and has charging stations. 3. I stayed at the Mercure Hotel which is located in the scenic area. The conditions are very good. It takes only 10 minutes to walk there. There is a shuttle bus and you can also stay in the cabins in the scenic area. I will try it next time. This time I arranged a two-day tour. On the first day, I went directly to the nearby Wild Deer Pond. I didn’t spend a penny on the ticket and watched the elks for the whole afternoon (see Figure 18). It was so exciting. What also left a deep impression on me during this trip was the food. I tried steamed eggs with shrimp, raw pickled white shrimp, fish soup noodles, and shredded radish and razor clam soup. The prices were ridiculously cheap. I will write a special guide to watching deer later. It is especially suitable for bringing children to play.
