Amazed by nature's palette

In November, the Hongze Lake Wetland in Sihong, along the Linhuai section, features a 2.5-kilometer Metasequoia Avenue entering its "highlight moment." The straight trunks hold up flame-like feather leaves, and when the sunlight hits, the lake surface looks like spilled caramel latte, with the boardwalk instantly turning into a "sky mirror." The scenic area has marked the best photo spots: Birdwatching Tower No. 3 overlooks the "red mosaic"; the rowing boat in the water forest creates an "autumn slow shutter" with each paddle stroke; the "golden corridor" 30 minutes before sunset produces wallpaper-worthy shots straight from your phone. On weekend afternoons, there is the "Redwood Market," where you can enjoy local crabs and wetland salted duck eggs on site, and exchange your ticket for a limited-edition red leaf bookmark. Come to Hongze Lake Wetland and encounter a romantic autumn!
