Lakes and mountains reflect the sunset, Suzhou has a mirror of the sky

In Suzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a saying that goes "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." 🌿However, beyond this gentle and delicate Jiangnan charm, there is also a "Sky Mirror" hidden that is comparable to the Chaka Salt Lake. 🌌 🌊The afterglow of Taihu Lake As a southerner, when I first arrived at Taihu Lake, I was deeply attracted by the magnificent scene of "the setting sun and the lone wild goose flying together, and the autumn water and the sky being the same color". 🌄Whenever the sun sets, the golden afterglow sprinkles all over the lake, the waves are shimmering, and the beauty is intoxicating. 🌊The Secret of Xiayan Lake However, in Suzhou, there is a little-known secret place - Xiayan Lake. 🏞It is not as famous as Taihu Lake, and even many Suzhou locals have never set foot there. But the beautiful scenery here is in no way inferior to Taihu Lake. The Tong Guanyin Temple by the lake adds a touch of ancient charm. 🏯Whenever the sun sets, the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the colors of the sky, like a beautiful painting. 🌅 🌊The mirror of the sky in the dreamy sunset The beauty of Xiayan Lake lies not only in the lake and mountains, but also in the dreamy sunset. ⛵️As the sun slowly sets, the sky turns from yellow to red and then to pink, and the entire lake is dyed with a layer of golden halo. 🌞At this moment, the sailboat is swaying gently on the lake, as if you are in a beautiful painting. This scene is enough to make people intoxicated and linger. 😄 🌊Quietly enjoy the romance of Jiangnan in summer If you happen to read this article, you may want to go to Xiayan Lake to find out. But please remember not to disturb the calmness of the water and don't make loud noises. 🌹Just quietly appreciate the sky gradually getting darker and the sunset glow filling the sky, and enjoy the unique romance of Jiangnan in summer! 🌺 🕙Best viewing time: around 16:30-17:30, arrive before sunset, 20 minutes after sunset is the best viewing period. 📍Location: Xiayan Lake, Guangfu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou 🚗Transportation strategy: Navigate to Guangfu Central Primary School Affiliated Kindergarten, and you can easily find this beautiful mirror of the sky. 🚘
