[2025 Suzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Dushuhu Park (Updated Jun)

Found it! The world of oil painting! Have you ever seen the beauty of Suzhou in winter!? If I have to describe it, The group of Metasequoia here is the best display of late autumn. If I have to use a word, it's oil painting The trees in the whole Metasequoia forest are well-arranged, with gradual colors~ The high saturation of colors gives people the illusion of walking in an oil painting The light and shadow between the trees are just right, with inherent highlights and lowlights Walking on the wooden bridge specially for admiring Metasequoia, just like the protagonist in the painting, walking into the painting. No matter which angle you take, it's very atmospheric and full of pictures, no need to adjust the color and add filters This is an open park, you can come here to relax at ordinary times Don't worry about the embarrassment of taking photos with many people Avoid the noisy crowd and take photos to check in! The park is opposite to Jianfa Dushu Garden, Taihe Jinzun Mansion, and Yinshan Lake Grand Theater.

In early winter, Dushu Lake is a colorful, tranquil, and beautiful scenic spot. The golden ginkgo, fiery red maple leaves, and the green and red-yellow intertwined metasequoia form a colorful and romantic winter picture. The bald cypress and metasequoia by the lake gradually turn from green to fiery red, and together with other colored trees, it seems as if nature's palette has been overturned. In the bustling city, Dushu Lake Park is a rare place of tranquility, where you can feel warmth and relaxation.

Located in Suzhou, a city where the classical and modern blend seamlessly, Dushu Lake Park is a tranquil oasis. With its vast lake, beautiful scenery, and peaceful atmosphere, it has become a haven for urbanites. Dushu Lake Park is not only a great place for leisure and entertainment, but also a natural space where the soul can rest and be released, leading every visitor into a world of tranquility and harmony. Dushu Lake, with its rippling lake and surrounding natural landscape, has become a natural treasure in Suzhou.

Encountering April Spring by Dushu Lake. Before the Qingming Festival holiday, I came across photos of poppies taken by others, which were praised as Monet's garden (laugh), but I wasn't sure about the exact location. I walked half a circle around the north side of Dushu Lake Garden and didn't find it Today, taking advantage of the nice weather, I walked all the way to the south side of the lake and finally saw this patch of poppies. There weren't many people during the lunch break on a workday, and a few mothers brought their kids to take photos, with the little ones standing in the flowers looking quite cute. However, in just a week, this patch of poppies lost its beauty and vitality due to the 'internet celebrity effect' from the crowds coming to take photos, which is a bit regrettable. In April, there are actually many beautiful flowers around Dushu Lake. After the cherry blossom avenue fades, the double cherry blossoms on Wanshou Street, Bada Street, and Wenjing Road are in full bloom🌸, along with daisies🌼 and clovers☘️. By the end of April, there will also be evening primroses and rose walls in the Egret Park, which are well worth visiting to experience the limited beauty of spring~ ————————— Keywords: flower viewing, lakeside walk, encountering spring Dushu Lake Park-Poppy Flower Sea (Free) 📍168 Wanshou Street, Suzhou City (search directly with the keyword in Gaode) 🚘: Navigate to the underground parking lot of Dushu Lake Park on Wanshou Street 🚇: Metro Line 2 'Dushu Lake Neighborhood Center' Exit 1/4 → Walk for 2-3 minutes —————————

Suzhou's bustling small Taoyuan, is a colorful oil painting, but also green mountains and rivers The world is suddenly late, and the mountains and rivers have entered winter. At this time of year, the deciduous cypresses and metasequoia that are all dyed, have become the last and most stubborn "fiery red" spectacle in the cold winter. This winter, I came to Dushu Lake Ecological Park for the first time, just to witness the beauty of the redwoods. Located on the shore of Dushu Lake, the popularity of the ecological park is obviously not as explosive as Egret Park, but it is precisely because of its beautiful scenery and few people that it is more like a paradise in the bustling city, with its own quiet and elegant beauty. You see, the Grand Canal that has flowed for a thousand years, passes by the south bank of Dushu Lake, with cargo ships shuttling back and forth on the river, the roaring motor sound, setting off layers of ripples. The skywalk in the park, winding into the depths of the forest, suspended above the water, like red ribbons, with particularly eye-catching colors, writing a lively and cheerful rhythm for the traffic line. Looking around, the verdant trees are still lush, although most of the leaves of the metasequoia have fallen off, there are still a few red leaves lingering on the branches, like the remaining lotus on the water surface, emitting a kind of incomplete poetic beauty. At this time, release the drone, look down from the air, the blue sky and white clouds reflect a pool of clear water, the red and white compatible metasequoia, growing among the green trees, willows and reeds, like a colorful oil painting drawn after nature overturned the palette, fascinating. If you wish, you can also regard the surrounding high-rise buildings as mountains, then the scene in front of you, has also seamlessly become a Chinese landscape painting, equally natural and beautiful.
