Wow! Sanjia Village Reservoir, a hidden paradise on the city's edge 🌳

Folks, can you imagine such a paradise hidden on the outskirts of the city? I recently visited Sanjia Village Reservoir, and it's simply a fairyland on earth. I'm excited to share this fresh guide with you all, let's go embrace this tranquility and beauty together! 💖 Pre-trip Preparations Revealed 🧰 1. Documents: Although you generally don't need your ID card to visit the reservoir, it's always good to bring it along just in case, better safe than sorry, right? 😎 2. Clothing and Gear: The temperature difference around the reservoir can be significant between morning and evening, so even if you go in summer, it's best to bring a light jacket. Wear comfortable sports shoes for easy hiking around the area. If you plan to camp by the reservoir, remember to bring a tent, moisture-proof mat, sleeping bag, and other gear. 3. Other Items: Prepare sun protection items like sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat, as UV rays can be strong when the sun is out. Bring a large-capacity water bottle to stay hydrated. If you love taking photos, make sure your camera or phone is fully charged, and bring a power bank – you wouldn't want to miss out on the beautiful scenery! 📷 Tickets and Opening Hours 🎫 Sanjia Village Reservoir is free to enter! 👏 It's open all day. However, for safety and a better experience, it's recommended to visit during the daytime. Transportation Guide 🚗 1. Self-driving: Just navigate to "Sanjia Village Reservoir." There are some simple parking spots around the reservoir, but they might be tight during holidays when there are many people, so it's best to go early to secure a spot. 2. Public Transportation: You can first check bus routes to nearby stops and then walk a certain distance to reach the reservoir. However, public transportation might not be very convenient and could take longer. Play Routes and Highlights ✨ Stroll along the Reservoir Dam Take a leisurely walk along the reservoir dam. On one side, the shimmering lake water sparkles with golden light under the sun; on the other, lush green mountains unfold like a natural painting. It's super photogenic here, every shot looks beautiful! 😍 Explore the Surrounding Forests There are some forest trails around the reservoir where you can venture deeper into the woods. Along the way, you'll hear the cheerful songs of birds and see various unknown wildflowers and plants. You might even encounter cute little squirrels, which is super fun! 🐿️ Camping and Picnics Find a flat grassy area, set up your tent, lay out a picnic mat, and arrange your food. Enjoy a leisurely picnic with family and friends, and soak in the tranquility and beauty of nature. In the evening, you can also admire the stunning sunset – the view is absolutely breathtaking! 🌅 Food Recommendations 😋 If you don't want to bring your own food, there are some small restaurants around the reservoir where you can taste local farm dishes. Be sure to try the reservoir fish, which is tender and delicious. There are also organically grown vegetables from local farms, which are fresh, healthy, and sweet! 🥦 Travel Tips ⚠️ 1. The reservoir water is deep and dangerous; never swim in it privately. Safety first. 2. Protect the environment. Take your trash with you after your visit to keep the reservoir area clean. 3. If there's bad weather, such as heavy rain or strong winds, do not go. Ensure your personal safety. My dears, Sanjia Village Reservoir is truly worth a visit! Quickly save this guide, invite your friends, and go experience the charm of nature together! 🤗
