💁🏻‍♀️ A bird's-eye view of Changshu Shanghu Scenic Area. The forests are full of colors, The lake water looks more like a piece of emerald green inlaid in it. Compared with the colorful flowers in spring, The autumn forest is full of colors, I think this is Shanghu Scenic Area. The most colorful and dazzling peak moment of appearance. ✍️ Shanghu Scenic Area, I don’t go there very often each year. I have never been able to complete her in one go. Because it's too big. I always go to the most worthwhile scenic spots of the season. Strolling and taking photos slowly and leisurely, Tired, I was lazy and wanted to go home. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I will find excuses for my laziness. Come again next time, It’s close anyway. Because I have an excuse to be lazy. As a result, I have not been to many places in Shanghu Scenic Area. ‼ ️ Yesterday I went to Shanghu Lake to see the Metasequoia again. I entered the scenic area from Gate 2. There is a small maple forest. Blooming red and fiery, It's a little pale in the sunlight, The best period has passed. I don't want to stay here. My eyes passed through the red maple forest and fell on the brown-red Metasequoia. Passing through the maple forest, we saw the Metasequoia growing along the lakeshore. The brown-red Metasequoia is the color of this season. The most striking warm tones. In the sun, I like it even more after watching it. This scenic area I've never been here before. To be more precise, I have never been here in this season. In my eyes, it’s like discovering a new world because it’s so beautiful. 🪭 The beauty of Metasequoia is very suitable for aerial photography by drones. The tall and beautiful tree posture is more suitable for aerial viewing. Raise the drone. The beautiful scenery of this corner of Shang Lake extends across the picture. Lake shadow pine color, The autumn light really does not disappoint people. The most beautiful scenery is when the colors are orange, yellow, tangerine and green.

It was worth the trip to this little piece of beautiful land. ‼ ️ This is the No. 2 gate of Shanghu Scenic Area. Turn right at the entrance ticket gate. Stroll along the water, Pass through the maple forest and climb a small wooden bridge. This Metasequoia grows along the lake shore. It winds and twists along the water flow, A very artistic beauty. Personally, I think it is a more suitable place to take photos than the water forest. Take portraits with cedar trees. It should be a great film. Across the lake embankment, There is a rockery in front of us. A fir forest is more beautiful. The light and shadows are flickering, The beautiful picture stretches before your eyes. It must be more memorable than the water forest. ♦️ The Metasequoia in Changshu Shanghu Scenic Area is in season. This season is also one of the main scenic spots.

After check-in, a shuttle took us directly to our room. Upon opening the door, we were greeted by a Hape cartoon train🚂, tent⛺, free-build train tracks, and a 🚙 car museum.

At night, the ambiance with the lights on was magical. The hotel is located right by Shanghu Lake, facing a 5A scenic area. The scenery is stunning, and as a pet-friendly hotel, many guests brought their 🐶 along, which made our child thrilled. 🍽 We had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel. The pet-friendly areas are separated from regular guest zones. The breakfast offers both Chinese and Western options, with special Dragon Boat Festival zongzi🍲! Don’t miss the local specialty, Tan Oil Noodles—so flavorful. For dinner, we ordered a set menu—generous portions and well-balanced flavors, perfect for kids too. Highlights included the Family Platter, braised beef, and mushroom chicken soup✨. 🧩 The hotel organizes daily "Huajian Little Days" activities, packed with fun. A dedicated host leads craft workshops, making for great family bonding!

Itinerary Day 1: Encounter the Beauty of Yushan Mountain We set off from Shanghai around 9 a.m., driving through the gradually unfolding scenery towards Changshu. Around noon, we arrived at a noodle restaurant near Yushan Mountain. We planned to have a quick bite before heading to the mountain, but the restaurant was so popular that we waited over 40 minutes for our food. The experience was just so-so, so I wouldn't recommend it. After lunch, we navigated to Qingya Tea Garden. We parked our car next to a local resident's house for only CNY 10 with no time limit—what a bargain! Then, we started our hike on the Yushan small loop trail.

The scenery along the way is picturesque, like a natural landscape painting unfolding before our eyes. Every step brought unexpected surprises, and our kid was so excited, chattering non-stop. In the evening, we found a farmhouse restaurant near Yushan Mountain. After the hike, our kid had a huge appetite and devoured the authentic farmhouse dishes. It was so delicious, and we were all super satisfied! Day 2: Immersed in the Spring Scenery of Shanghu Lake We woke up naturally and had a leisurely breakfast before heading to Shanghu Lake at 10 a.m. On the way, vast fields of rapeseed flowers caught our eye, resembling a golden ocean. Who could resist such beauty? We immediately stopped for photos. The golden sea of flowers was incredibly photogenic; every shot looked like a masterpiece. Upon arriving at Shanghu Lake, we rented a four-person electric car near the park entrance for CNY 150/hour and drove straight to the Peony Garden. Shanghu Lake is vast, and the weather was unbelievably beautiful. We spent an hour exploring by car and another hour strolling, immersing ourselves in the beauty of spring. The lake and mountain scenery complemented the vibrant peonies. Our kid had a blast feeding fish and admiring flowers by the lake. For lunch, we again chose a farmhouse restaurant. The water celery was fresh and tender, and we couldn't get enough of it even after two days. The authentic flavors were truly unforgettable! After lunch, we drove back to Shanghai at a leisurely pace, enjoying a smooth journey and a perfect end to our trip. This niche itinerary offers stunning scenery with fewer crowds, allowing kids to connect with nature while enjoying a relaxing holiday. It's an excellent choice for a family trip, and I highly recommend it! Travel Tips: 1. Check your vehicle beforehand to ensure a safe road trip. 2.

Spring Outing to Shanghu Lake | Step into a Jiangnan landscape painting and encounter Feixiong Paradise Another year, another spring breeze, another year of plum blossoms. It's time to go out for a stroll and embrace the landscape of Shanghu Lake and the childlike fun of Feixiong Paradise~ 🌸 Shanghu Lake: A Lake of Spring Colors, Half a City of Misty Rain 1. Seeking Fragrance in the Plum Garden, a Subtle Fragrance Floats In March, the plum garden of Shanghu Lake has long been awakened by the spring breeze, and the interwoven pink and white sea of flowers is like clouds and mist. Stroll through it in a Hanfu, and the falling petals on your shoulders will make you feel like you've traveled back to the poetic Jiangnan of a thousand years ago. Remember to rent a Ruqun at the Four Scenic Spots Cultural Experience Center and capture the moment of "faces and plum blossoms reflecting red" 📸. 2. Bamboo Raft Exploration, Egrets as Neighbors The "water forest" of Shanghu Lake is a Jiangnan wonderland! Take a bamboo raft and slowly enter the depths of the fir forest. Watch egrets flutter their wings over the water, and the dappled light and shadow among the swaying trees make it feel like stepping into "The Wizard of Oz." If you're lucky, you might even encounter newly hatched egret chicks and feel the vibrancy of life. ✨Tips: Charter a bamboo raft to skip the line and enjoy a quiet time (about CNY 30 per person). 3. Peony Flower Festival, National Beauty Although it's not yet the full bloom period of April, the peony garden is already hiding "secrets." Early blooming varieties such as "Luoyang Red" are quietly showing their faces, and the flower buds are ready to burst. The pre-festival activities, "Nine-Colored Peony Petal Rain" and the ancient-style dance "Impressions of Shanghu Lake," ignite the romance of spring in advance. 4. Landscape Painting, Poetic Dwelling Under the wisteria corridor, light purple flower spikes hang down like a waterfall; beside the azalea path, red and pink intertwine like a rosy cloud covering the ground. In the evening, take a cruise on a painted boat and watch the reflection of Yushan Mountain crumble in the lake's light, and you will understand the Jiangnan soul of "mountains and water depending on each other." --- 🐻 Feixiong Paradise: Childlike Innocence, Wild Fun 1. Unpowered Paradise, Unleash Your Nature The 14-meter-high "Volcano Top" slide, the 20-meter-long rolling tunnel, the treehouse corridor, and the rope matrix—children climb and shuttle through the "Wonderland," adults challenge the high-altitude single-plank bridge in the "Jungle Crossing," and the whole family transforms into explorers 🌿. 2. Cute Pet Interaction, Full of Healing Groundhogs tilt their heads adorably, raccoons cleverly beg for food, colorful parrots chirp in your palm... In the cute pet paradise, the moment you feed them carrots, even the air becomes soft and lovely. Remember to capture the funny scene of your child racing with a mini pig 🐷. 3. Childhood Train, Time Tunnel Take a 1:1 replica of a vintage train and travel through forests and flower fields. The sound of the whistle seems to take you back to a carefree childhood. At the terminal station "Bileji," there is also Feixiong cultural and creative ice cream, with a peony shape that is a must-have for photos 📷. 📝 Travel Tips｜ 🚘 Transportation: Navigate to "Shanghu Scenic Area" by car, about 1.5 hours' drive from Shanghai/Suzhou; take the high-speed train to Changshu Station and then a 30-minute taxi ride. 💃 Outfit: Light-colored dresses + flat shoes, ancient-style makeup is even better!
