Located in the Gonghu Bay Wetland Park in Wuxi
A 'highway away' from Taihu Lake
Connected to the Shangxian River Wetland in the north
Directly to the edge of Taihu Lake in the south
🌊In autumn and winter, the metasequoia begins to change color, the red, yellow and green are staggered like oil paintings, matched with the winding river, I was stunned when I was aerial photography, really like crossing to 'Kanas'
🍁Next to the fallen ginkgo leaves all over the ground, the maple leaves have just turned red, the sunlight shines through the shiny light and shadow, and there are yellow and green alternately yellow lianmu, willow-like willows... Every step is beautiful

✅Gonghu Bay Shuiyun Square
This place is really great for taking photos! Every casual shot is full of cinematic feel🎥. You must come here when the sun☀️ is about to set, the sunlight from the west sprinkles on the lake surface, glittering with waves. Tai Lake really resembles the sea, with sailboats floating on the waves, power plants emitting white smoke, and planes flying low from time to time, creating a breathtaking view!!!
The original photo actually already has a great vibe, but to deepen its profound feeling, I layered the following two from the ⭐️ filter gallery:
1️⃣ Camera Simulation - Olympus
2️⃣ Camera Simulation - Hasselblad 1
3️⃣ Camera Simulation - Canon G7X2
4️⃣ Scenery - Little Kyoto
5️⃣ Scenery - Little Kamakura
6️⃣ Scenery - Klein
7️⃣ Fantasy - Feather Dream
8️⃣ Fantasy - Glazed Glass
I really love this set of photos‼️ Today's trip was worth it～

Step into the Gonghu Bay Wetland Park in Wuxi and experience the beauty of the primeval forest
In Wuxi😜! Discovered another jungle secret spot👀! Forest Park🎄!|||I've tried it for you😎, the 20-minute effect of the park is real😄!
Wuxi is truly a city with a sense of relaxation😌, and with so many beautiful parks👏, it makes one feel even more relaxed🤗. Even if you stay in the park for 20 minutes without exercising🚶, you will feel like you have absorbed a lot of energy🧐.
🌳Gonghu Bay Wetland Park🤩, is a free park in Wuxi, not crowded👫, spacious, and overall very quiet and comfortable~ I just like to stay in such places😍. My mood is always particularly good when I get to the park😀. The path I took today is specifically near the Catholic Church🛕, with hardly any tourists, giving it a sense of beauty of the primeval forest~

The redwood forest in Gonghu Bay Wetland is insanely beautiful!! Few people and gorgeous scenery
...
This is probably what they mean by the winter colors of Gonghu Bay.
Wuxi Gonghu Bay Wetland Park P has a parking lot and you can also park on the roadside.
There are not too many crowds here,
but there is an extremely gentle caramel-colored water fir forest. There are not too many dense sceneries here,
but there is the ultimate beauty of clear blue water and rippling waves. There are not too many commercial spaces here,
but there is the ultimate natural oxygen bar and rainbow track.
Wuxi is really a treasure.
This undeveloped and operated Gonghu Bay is really stunning. It's perfect for friends who like fewer people and beautiful scenery and love hiking! Besides being a bit large, there's nothing wrong with it, but you can rent bicycles~ You can also camp by the lake,
Lift your eyes to the mountains and rivers and feel the relaxation that nature gives. If you're bored, you can also check in at the redwood forest and the rainbow track. If it's sunset dusk, watching the lake color sunset is absolutely beautiful.
Remember to bring your own water as there are no snack stalls.

The scenery on the shore of Taihu Lake, the church of God
Main attention
Next to the Gonghu Bay Wetland Park
There is a parking lot next to the church, it's quite convenient to park
You can also take a stroll in Gonghu Bay Wetland Park
I've always wanted to come here for photos, and finally made it once
Although the front of the church is all dead branches, it feels more against the red wall! It's a great spot to check in during winter
(After all, winter is not suitable for visiting green parks

Gonghu Bay Wetland Park, it's really beautiful!.
Gonghu Bay is located in the southern part of the Economic Development Zone, extending along the Taihu Lake shoreline. This place was once the ancient Gong Lake, the shoreline is curved, hence the name. Gonghu Bay Wetland Park covers a large area, starting from the west of Lihu Avenue, to the east of Xiaoxi Port, to the north of Gancheng Road, and south to Taihu Lake, with a total area of nearly 600 hectares. The water forest is located next to Xu Xian Port, with a winding nine-curve walkway. The highlands in the water are full of Metasequoia, reflecting on the water, it's beautiful. The pond is dotted with lotus, iris, and mushroom grass and other aquatic plants. The water is clear, standing on the near-water steps, you can see the underwater plants swaying with the waves. In autumn, the Metasequoia turns into a caramel color, which is a scene to look forward to.
