Autumn Parks｜Poetic and Picturesque

Autumn stroll guide🍂, these two parks are the perfect backyard escapes for office workers fleeing the CBD, and every snap is wallpaper-worthy! 🌳 Xianhu Botanical Garden: 📍 Xianhu Road, Liantang Subdistrict, Luohu District It’s no exaggeration to say this is the place with the highest concentration of autumn colors! The entire lake is surrounded by golden ginkgo trees, and the wooden boardwalk perfectly complements the lake’s reflections. Highly recommend the lakeside boardwalk next to the moss garden; the afternoon sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a soft glow effect for photos~ 🌊 Honghu Park: 📍 Wenjin North Road, Luohu District The bald cypresses have donned their red autumn coats this season, and the lakeside trail looks like a spilled palette of colors. Strongly recommend the waterside platform opposite the lotus exhibition area, where you can see golden tree shadows dancing on the lake at dusk. There’s also a reed marsh near the park’s west gate—wear light-colored clothes for a super atmospheric photo shoot! 💡 Insider tips: 1️⃣ Remember to take the shuttle bus up the mountain at Xianhu; hiking requires a lot of stamina and is very tiring. 2️⃣ It’s best to visit Honghu Park on weekday afternoons; weekends get so crowded you’ll question your life choices. 3️⃣ For both parks, it’s recommended to wear off-white/caramel-colored clothes—they match the autumn scenery perfectly. 4️⃣ Don’t forget to bring mosquito repellent! The mosquitoes by the lake are super aggressive.
