Autumn Beauty at Huang Hai Forest

Introduction to the Scenery of Huang Hai Forest Park Huang Hai Forest Park is located in Dongtai City, Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. It is a national AAAA-level scenic area, attracting numerous visitors with its unique forest landscapes, rich ecological resources, and diverse recreational facilities. Below is a detailed introduction to its scenery: Metasequoia Forest Landscape Vast Scale: The park boasts over 3,000 acres of metasequoia forest, making it one of the largest plain metasequoia forests in East China. These metasequoia trees are tall and upright, with straight trunks and umbrella-like canopies, forming spectacular green seas. Color Changes: With the changing seasons, the colors of the metasequoia forest display wonderful transformations. In spring, new leaves are tender green and full of vitality; in summer, the branches and leaves are lush and verdant; in autumn, the leaves gradually turn red, from golden yellow to orange-red to deep red, layer upon layer, like a poetic painting; in winter, although the leaves fall, the bare trunks remain upright, showing a unique resilience and beauty. Light and Shadow Effects: Sunlight filters through the gaps in the metasequoia branches and leaves, creating mottled light and shadow, as if a golden carpet is laid on the ground. Especially in the early morning or evening, the soft light adds a romantic and mysterious atmosphere to the forest. Aerial Walkway Immersive Experience: The aerial walkway is made of solid wood and winds through the metasequoia forest like a giant dragon weaving through the trees. Visitors strolling on it feel as if they are among the treetops, able to reach out and touch the branches and leaves, experiencing a close embrace of nature. Panoramic View: Some sections of the walkway have viewing platforms where visitors can overlook the magnificent metasequoia forest, which looks like a red sea with waves rolling in the distance, breathtakingly beautiful. At the same time, visitors can enjoy the intertwined beauty of lakes, rivers, and forests within the park, forming a natural landscape painting. Forest Train Fairy Tale Journey: The forest train is a major feature of the park, slowly traveling along tracks through the metasequoia forest, as if leading visitors into a dreamy fairy tale world. The train cars are warmly decorated, perfect for family outings or romantic strolls. Along the way, the metasequoia forest unfolds like a scroll, refreshing and soothing the mind. Unique Perspective: Riding the train, visitors can appreciate the beauty of the metasequoia forest from different angles. Especially when the train passes curves or tunnels, the forest scenery suddenly appears, bringing surprise and awe. Forest Eye High Viewing Point: The Forest Eye is a 40-meter-tall observation tower located in the core area of the park. From the top, visitors can overlook the entire Huang Hai Forest Park, including the metasequoia forest, lakes, rivers, and wooden cabins, as if a giant landscape painting is unfolding beneath their feet. Special Experience: The Forest Eye not only offers an excellent viewing angle but also features a glass observation deck, a sky mirror, and a high-altitude rotating slide, allowing visitors to enjoy thrilling fun while admiring the scenery. Wetland Corridor Water and Land Integration: The wetland corridor runs east to west through the park, winding along the river. On both sides of the river are dense metasequoia forests and reed beds, with clear water where fish and shrimp swim. Visitors walking on the corridor can enjoy the beautiful contrast between the metasequoia forest and wetland scenery, feeling the tranquility and harmony of nature. Ecological Landscape: The wetland corridor is one of the park’s most biodiverse areas, attracting many birds to rest and feed. Visitors may observe egrets, herons, wild ducks, and other birds, listen to their calls, and feel the vitality of nature. Forest Cabins Fairy Tale Atmosphere: The park is dotted with many forest cabins of various styles, hidden among the metasequoia trees like little fairy houses in the forest. The cabins are built from natural wood, preserving the wood’s natural texture. They are fully equipped, warm, and comfortable, allowing visitors to feel the peace and pleasure of returning to nature. Photo Spot: The forest cabins blend with the surrounding metasequoia forest, creating a unique landscape and a popular photo spot. Whether it’s the morning sunlight filtering through the leaves onto the cabins or the nighttime lights illuminating their outlines, visitors can capture photos full of fairy tale charm. Forest Bathing Area Natural Oxygen Bar: The forest bathing area is an open space within the park, where trees are dense, the air is fresh, and the negative ion content is very high, earning it the title of “natural oxygen bar.” Visitors can walk, jog, do yoga, or meditate here, fully enjoying the relaxation brought by forest bathing. Recreational Facilities: The bathing area is equipped with pavilions, benches, fitness equipment, and other leisure facilities for visitors to rest and entertain. Additionally, a clear stream flows through the area, where visitors can fish or play in the water, experiencing the coolness and comfort of nature. The scenery of Huang Hai Forest Park changes with the seasons, and no matter when you visit, you can feel the magic and beauty of nature. Whether strolling through the forest, riding the forest train, or climbing the Forest Eye to overlook the panorama, visitors can immerse themselves in nature’s embrace and forget the noise and troubles of the world.
