🌲 Yesterday I saw a National Geographic article about a beautiful forest of redwoods on the water. What a coincidence! For this beautiful cedar forest, I just made a special trip to Anhui a while ago. · ❤️I've always heard that there is a Sichuan-Tibet line in Southern Anhui. The most worthwhile stop along the way. This is the Ningguo's bald redwood forest. · 👀200 hectares of water-covered redwoods, Every year in late autumn and early winter, the bald cypress in the water turns red. Leaves fall into the blue water, Some people say this is Kanas in southern Anhui. · 🗺️How to get there? 💈Ningguo Cypress Forest Wetland Park 📍Address: Fangtang Township, Ningguo City, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province 💰Tickets: Cruise 60/person, Plank Road 40/person 🅿️Parking: Regular parking lot, capped at 15 · 📸How to play? 1️⃣ Tickets are divided into two types: cruise and plank road. The scenic area is divided into two parts: cruise, the whole journey takes about 30 minutes, and it is worthwhile to take an electric bamboo raft through the underwater forest. There are two plank roads, one on each side. If you buy a cruise ticket, the plank road on the left is free. I personally recommend buying only the cruise ticket, and you can play on the plank road on the left for free after taking the cruise. · 2️⃣I sincerely recommend staying here for one night. The B&B in the village next door is very cost-effective. · 3️⃣ If you arrive in the afternoon, you can take a boat first, and then take pictures of the golden redwood forest under the sunset on the free plank road. · 4️⃣On the 2nd day, you can get up early and choose to go to the "Bald Cypress Photography Viewing Platform" a little further ahead of the scenic area to watch the sunrise and morning mist, or you can take a private boat to the river. The morning mist is super beautiful. · ❗Tips: 1️⃣ There is no toilet in the scenic area, the toilet is in the parking lot. 2️⃣Drones fly freely. 3️⃣The ground is muddy, so wear non-slip and dirt-resistant shoes. · 🙋🏻‍♂️Just call me Xiao Ming! Beijing boy, traveling around. Don’t get lost when playing with me, don’t forget to give me a ❤ before you go!

In late December, I went to Guangde and took a walk on the Sichuan-Tibet Line in Southern Anhui. The water activities along the way were not available, so I could only see the redwood forest. It took me more than 2 hours to drive to the scenic area. Unfortunately, most of the redwood trees had shed their leaves. The scenic area was not cheap, and there was nothing to see after the leaves had fallen. Compared with the redwood forest in Siming Lake, Zhejiang, which I visited last month, this place was much worse. First of all, the redwood forest in Siming Lake is free of charge. Secondly, the redwood forest in Siming Lake is more colorful, and the lake is wider than here, with a better artistic conception.
