Cotton clouds, watery pink, anime green, Jinshan here is colorful

Don't want to go too far? Want to get close to nature? The heat is in full swing, and everyone must be looking for a good place to relax and cool off in or around Shanghai. Now, in Jinshan, there is such a place where you can do some outdoor activities in the summer, the Flower Sea Ecological Park. Here you can ride horses and have a barbecue, row a "boat" on the lake, and follow a guide to explore the small woods (of course, some activities require a fee)... Let's talk about the main attractions here: 1️⃣ The ecological park is filled with various lotus flowers and water lilies. You can walk or ride to the Plum Garden and Autumn Scenery Garden. In the small rivers or ponds here, you can see a large area of blooming lotus flowers, perfect for photography 📷 or pure enjoyment. 2️⃣ In the Plum Garden and Flower Sea area, the Verbena bonariensis is in full bloom. The flower stems stand upright, and the purple flowers are surrounded by golden halos. It's quite dreamy. 3️⃣ The highlight is here. It is the sea of Kochia flowers that plant enthusiasts look forward to seeing every year. The Kochia seedlings 🌱 are now in the accelerated growth phase of green leaves. Currently, the entire flower sea area is covered with green balls, with 300,000 Kochia plants forming 19 petals, extending in all directions. The viewing period for green-leaf Kochia will last from early August to the end of September. The viewing period for red-leaf Kochia will last from October to mid-November. During this period, they will change from small to large, from green to red, with different viewing forms in different cycles, which is quite interesting. 4️⃣ For visitors with kids, don't worry about them getting bored. Just book a plant study class in advance, and the little ones can burn off a lot of energy 🔋. Follow the park guide to find insects and watch birds in the woods, transplant plants in the flower room, and print your own plant T-shirt. All are possible.
