One step into Yanque Lake Oil Painting Forest

For this set of photos… I rushed to Yanque Lake again and again before sunrise. As a result… wherever the dawn light touched the bald cypress forest, it was still crowded with people📸 Seeing no chance for the "Golden Light Avenue," I decided to head into the dimmer depths. Unexpectedly, this retreat led me straight into a real oil painting🎨 Golden yellow, cobalt blue, emerald green, and ochre red intertwined, the tranquil lake surface reflected the colorful forest, instantly giving off an oil painting vibe. 📸Tips: 1️⃣ Photos were taken early morning on November 13, with saturation and contrast adjusted. Unfortunately, no black swans were captured. 2️⃣ Bald cypress viewing period: mid-November to mid-late December 🧭Address: Yanque Lake (Ming Xiaoling Tomb Gate 3) 🎫Ticket: 70 RMB (free before 6:30 AM) 🎫Event: October 23 - November 23, 2025 (half-price tickets from 6:30 to 8:30 AM) 🚗Self-driving parking: Shichao Cultural Park Parking Lot (closest to Ming Xiaoling Tomb Gate 5)‼️ Enter Gate 5 to Shixiang Road, about a 12-minute walk from Shixiang Road to Yanque Lake. 🚇Metro: Line 2, Muxuyuan Station (Exit 1) 🚶8 minutes [Happy]Nearby attractions: Wutong Avenue - Nanjing Underwater World - Zhongshan Botanical Garden - Meiling Palace - Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum - Music Stage - Linggu Temple
