Found a place in Chengdu where you can see beautiful red spider lilies.
Red spider lilies in Shengxian Lake Park, also known as red lycoris, are a type of amaryllidaceae plant, known for their unique characteristic of not having leaves and flowers at the same time. Every year at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the red spider lilies in Shengxian Lake Park are in full bloom, forming a sea of red flowers, making it one of the popular places to watch red spider lilies in Chengdu.
The flowering period of red spider lilies is short, so if you want to watch them, it is recommended to go as soon as possible.
As the flowering period of red spider lilies is not long, it is recommended to go and watch them in clear weather to get the best visual effect.
Red spider lilies look great in photos when paired with Hanfu or solid color skirts. You can consider wearing the appropriate clothing to take beautiful photos.
Red spider lilies have rich flower language and implications. They are not only beautiful ornamental plants, but also carry many cultures and legends. In Shengxian Lake Park in Chengdu, you can feel the mystery and beauty of red spider lilies up close and experience the quiet moments of harmonious coexistence with nature.

Really in Chengdu, there is actually a niche hiking spot hidden in the city
Hello everyone, I am a son-in-law who loves taking photos, passionate about photography for 10 years.
.
In the morning, I came across a note and saw that there is a hiking route in Chengdu city.
Recently, it has been raining a lot in Chengdu, and today it is rare that it didn't rain.
I quickly packed my backpack, took my tripod, and took the subway to come here alone.
.
📍Location: Shengxian Lake Park
🚇Transportation: Line 5 to Dongzikou Station, Exit B, 10 minutes by bike
.
🚶🏽【My Hiking Route】
Shengxian Lake Park → Shahe Park
Walk along the river in Shengxian Lake Park. Personally, I think walking for about an hour is enough, you can see everything worth seeing, and there is no need to walk the entire route. If you don't want to walk, you can ride a shared bike along the road, there are very few cars, and it's very pleasant. Last autumn, I saw the metasequoia here, which was also super beautiful.
I personally suggest going inside Shengxian Lake Park, where there are people fishing and chatting, capturing the relaxed vibe of Chengdu people.
.
📝【Hiking Tips】
1. There is no food nearby, occasionally you might come across a cold noodle stall.
2. There are a lot of mosquitoes, if you wear shorts, your legs will be bitten all over.

The photogenic Metasequoia forest is all in Shahe Park,
If you want to take photos by the river, Shengxianhu Park is beautiful~
During the walk, we also encountered some unknown purple flowers,
The ground covered with purple petals is so romantic!!!
So I suggest you walk and take photos at the same time, it's really comfortable~
.
TIPS:
1. Shengxianhu Park allows for lightweight camping⛺️, you can bring a canopy and chairs.

Chengdu! A place suitable for strolling alone
April's fragrance has faded, but the park is still brimming with greenery🍃
Today, I'm sharing a park filled with greenery, where the trees provide ample shade, there's a clear lake, and lawns for camping and picnicking. It's also perfect for sitting quietly by the lake, enjoying the breeze on your face🌿
Beside the park, along the riverbank of Shuangsha East Road, there's a corridor lined with green fir trees🌲. Even in the height of summer, this place feels very cool. It's a treasured green fir secret spot in the city, also great for walking.
📍Address: Shengxian Lake Park
🚆Subway: Line 1 Shengxian Lake Station Exit B, about 900 meters, 10 minutes walk

Chengdu! Downtown! Real shot of the sea of Lycoris radiata!!
Lycoris radiata is a flower that you can't see its leaves when it blooms, and you can't see it blooming when it has leaves. The flower and leaves never meet in their lives, which is the most desolate part of love! Desolate but beautiful~
The Lycoris radiata in Chengdu city has become a sea! It's really a large area, and it's so beautiful even without filter! It is said that its flowering period is short, and many of them have withered when I arrived today... If you miss it, you have to wait until next year!!

The subway goes directly to the riverside Metasequoia, which is a romantic winter limited in Chengdu. On one side is the straight red Metasequoia, and on the other side is the golden ginkgo tree. It's so comfortable to walk, drink tea and picnic by the river. This open park is also very pet-friendly~

There is a 'Golden Armor' park in the north of Chengdu, which is like a landscape painting, accessible by Metro Line 1
The weather in Chengdu has been too good these past few days, with the sun visible from time to time. This kind of weather in late autumn really brightens one's mood. The temperature in Chengdu in late autumn has not dropped, but everywhere is showing a golden color, deep yellow, light yellow, mixed with green, red and other colors, so who wouldn't like such a colorful scene?
A few days ago, I went to Shengxian Lake in the north of Chengdu. This scenic spot is almost well-known in Chengdu. Although many people have not been there, they have basically heard of it, because the second station to the north of the hottest Metro Line 1 in Chengdu is Shengxian Lake. So, in terms of transportation, Shengxian Lake is very convenient and fast. What does Shengxian Lake look like in autumn?
Shengxian Lake, located in Chenghua District, was originally an artificial lake transformed for the treatment of Shahe. Shahe passes through the territory, and it was called Shengxian Water before the Yuan Dynasty. Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been called Shengxian Lake. So this name has a lot of historical connotations and has been used for hundreds of years. Shengxian Lake is also the largest artificial lake in the main urban area.
Now, due to the construction of urban transportation, the Phoenix Mountain Viaduct has divided Shengxian Lake into two, forming a mother and child lake, with the left side small and the right side large. Shengxian Lake covers an area of 120 acres and has a circumference of 3 kilometers. Now the surrounding area has also been built very beautifully, with the lake water rippling, the water grass swaying with the water, and the lake heart path full of lush trees. Looking at the whole lake from a distance, it has a sense of primitive wildness. The ducks in the lake are playing and frolicking in the water, making the whole environment more lively.
Now the park is very large. Walking on the greenway, the trees in the park are lush. There are many ginkgo trees in Shengxian Lake Park. The golden leaves fall to the ground, as if the whole world is covered with a layer of 'golden armor'. From time to time, a breeze blows, and the small leaves will circle in the air, making people feel very comfortable. Isn't this a comfortable life? Why do many people have to give up the near and seek the far, always thinking that the far is the best, in fact, the best is the present.
The most beautiful scenery of Shengxian Lake is the rows of neat fir trees by the lake. These trees are tall and have very uniform heights and postures. Now they are yellow leaves, and after a while they will become red leaves. Reflected in the water, it is like a landscape painting. At this moment, looking quietly at 'this painting', it seems that time has also stopped flowing, it is really too beautiful.
Forests, water fir, wildflowers, grasslands, lake water... Do you feel like escaping from the big city, feeling like you are in the countryside, a pure nature is displayed in front of you, this is late autumn, and early winter, take a big breath of fresh oxygen, close your eyes and feel the layers of forest dyed, a beautiful autumn oil painting. Isn't this kind of life exactly what urban people are desperately pursuing? So, enjoy the simple life of the present. Do you like such a park?
