A free wetland park has been discovered in Chengdu.
Egret Bay Wetland Park is located in the Jinjiang Ring City Ecological Zone in the southeast of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The park borders Sansheng Township Lotus Pond Moonlight to the east and is adjacent to the Ring Expressway to the north, covering a total area of 3,000 mu, including 1,000 mu of water. It is an ecological wetland created by the Jinjiang District People's Government. In January 2017, Chengdu Egret Bay Urban Wetland Park was approved as a "National Urban Wetland Park", becoming the first "National Urban Wetland Park" in Chengdu. As soon as you enter the park, you will feel like you are in a Jiangnan water town. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I went there, but it was still beautiful, with the water and sky blending into one! It was the weekend, and many people came to check in and play with their children or ride bikes! There is a cycling greenway in the park that leads all the way to the Tianfu Greenway and directly to the Global Center! It's a paradise for cyclists! If you like cycling, come and check in!

Chengdu is a great place for camping and photography. There are metasequoia trees, pink zephyranthes, and a lake.
There are beautiful views everywhere on the Chengdu Ring Road. The Egret Bay Wetland Park is located to the south and east of the Ring Road. The park is densely vegetated, with streams and lakes dotted throughout. It's a great place for leisurely walks.
There are metasequoia trees (which will turn yellow soon, but are currently still green) and large patches of pink zephyranthes, which are very photogenic.
Separated from the Egret Bay Wetland Park by the Ring Road is the Jiang Family Art Garden. The scenery here is different (there is a passage under the Ring Road). The large grassland is very suitable for camping. There are also large patches of pink zephyranthes on the grassland (in previous years, there were mostly white zephyranthes). There is also a lake where you can paddleboard and kayak.

Whether you want to escape the hustle and bustle to find tranquility, or pursue the beauty of nature, Little Erhai, the metasequoia forest is a place worth visiting.
This place is located in the southeast of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, in the Jinjiang Ring City Ecological Zone, called: Egret Bay Wetland Park. I think friends who have read my article a few days ago must be familiar with it. This is a park characterized by wetlands, ecological lakes, and metasequoia forests. It has vast wetlands and lush metasequoia forests. Every autumn, Egret Bay Wetland Park is like an oil painting. Walking on the road next to the metasequoia forest, you can see the tall and straight metasequoia. In the autumn season, the metasequoia becomes more spectacular. The entire forest is covered with red leaves, as if entering a colorful world. The metasequoia forest also exudes a unique fragrance, which makes people intoxicated and relaxed.
The water area is the embellishment of the metasequoia forest, making the entire scenic area richer and more relaxing. The lake is rippling with green waves, and autumn leaves fall on the gravel path, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility. The reed clusters, flowers, and trees around the lake form a beautiful ecosystem, attracting many small wild animals to inhabit here. The lake also has a rich variety of aquatic plants, making the scenic area more vibrant.
In autumn, Little Erhai, the metasequoia forest becomes particularly charming. The branches and leaves of the metasequoia gradually change from green to red and yellow. The blue of the lake and the color of the metasequoia reflect each other, forming beautiful scrolls. Whenever the autumn wind blows, the fallen leaves in the metasequoia forest quietly dance, like a dance, bringing a breathtaking beauty. Standing next to the metasequoia forest, looking at the metasequoia, it seems that the scenery is covered by red leaves, giving people a feeling of being in a fairyland. The autumn here is so beautiful and quiet that people are completely immersed in the embrace of nature.
In addition to the beautiful scenery of the metasequoia forest, Egret Bay Wetland Park also provides many entertainment and leisure projects to satisfy tourists' various fantasies about autumn. Here you can take a walk by the lake, breathe fresh air, feel the beauty of nature, or invite friends to camp here. Of course, if you are a photography enthusiast like me, there are plenty of shooting themes here, and you can take breathtaking photos. Whether you want to find the beauty of tranquility or pursue the footsteps of nature, Egret Bay Wetland Park can meet all your needs.
