【Travel Preparation】
🎈Address: Lizhong Water Forest Park
🚘Transportation: Self-driving is recommended~
🎫Ticket Price: 50 yuan/person, Bamboo Raft Drifting: 40 yuan/person
⏰Opening Hours: 08:00-17:00
✨Activities: Misty Forest, Jiuzhaigou, Cultural Corridor, Wobo Bridge, Listening Wind Cottage, Shigong Pavilion, etc.
❶Misty Forest Fantasy
The Misty Forest show starts every hour on the hour, with six shows a day, the latest at 3 pm. When I went, I just caught the forest performance, with mist rising up.
🌱Under the sunlight, the water mist quickly vaporizes, creating a smoky haze. Through the gaps in the trees, beautiful light and shadow are formed.
❷Jiuzhaigou
If you want to capture birds, look here! After getting off the bamboo raft, you'll reach the 'Jiuzhaigou' water plank road, where the wooden path winds through the green waters, adorned with various buildings.
🌴It's also the best spot for bird watching, with egrets, black cuckoos, wild ducks, and other birds inhabiting it year-round, with up to 100,000 at most and normally around 60,000!
❸Cultural Corridor
Walking through the Cultural Corridor, you'll be fascinated not only by the scenery but also by the cultural construction of the water forest, just like the trees rooted in water, eventually holding up a piece of the sky.
❹Wobo Bridge
Where there's water, there's a bridge, connecting two worlds. Wobo Bridge, with its wooden structure, lies quietly on the water, reflecting the bridge on the surface. When the wind blows, petals scatter on the water, bringing change to both worlds. This is also an excellent spot to observe 'fish in the water'.
❺Listening Wind Cottage
The cottage nestles in the forest, blending with the surroundings as if it never existed. Only when the wind passes, bringing the scent of grass, can one be surprised to find this resting place. Here, you don't just enjoy the water forest with your eyes; with your ears, with your heart, you'll be immersed in the entire forest world.
❻Shigong Pavilion
Where there are trees, there is a forest; where there is distance, there is poetry. Shigong Pavilion is built to commemorate Shi Nai'an and has become a must-visit for tourists on a cultural journey.
🌱If you see someone daydreaming, don't disturb them, as a beautiful article may be born in the next second.
❤️Come to Lizhong Water Forest, and you and your camera will both return fully loaded!

The Qingming festival marks the season when the rapeseed flowers in Xinghua, Taian, are in full bloom
Rapeseed flowers in Pingduo, Xinghua, Taizhou, usually bloom around the Qingming festival each year, and currently about a quarter of them have blossomed, with expectations that they will bloom even more beautifully after Qingming. The Qianduo scenic area is a globally important agricultural cultural heritage, renowned worldwide for its unique 'duotian' landscape. 'Duo' is a type of agricultural landscape unique to the Lixiahe region, which, according to historical records, formed about 750 years ago. In the marshy lands where soil was scarce, the industrious and intelligent people of Xinghua excavated mud from the network of deep ditches or small rivers in the lake and marsh areas, piling it up block by block to form mounds, creating the cultivable 'duotian'.
Due to the higher elevation, good drainage, and fertile soil of the 'duotian', it is particularly suitable for growing fruits, vegetables, and melons. Since the 1950s, the 'duotian' rapeseed has been highly regarded nationwide, earning the reputation of 'leading the way in the country'. Due to the variety and high yield of vegetables, 'duotian' is also known as the 'hometown of vegetables'. Every year during the Qingming festival, the 'duotian' surrounded by water in the Qianduo scenic area is covered with golden rapeseed flowers, attracting numerous tourists for sightseeing. 'Rivers with thousands of bends full of green water, fields without a mound not covered in yellow flowers' is the true portrayal of the rapeseed flowers in Xinghua's 'duotian'.

Taizhou | Head to the water forest for a full oxygen immersion
The water forest is truly like an oxygen bar, with extremely fresh air and beautiful scenery. There are very few people, and when we went, it was almost just the three of us, very quiet. The sunlight filters through the leaves and falls on the walkway, serene and romantic. There are many amusement facilities for children, and taking a leisurely stroll and looking around, you can easily spend 2-3 hours.
You must take a boat ride, from pier 1 to pier 2, it's not a long time, and the water flows gently with excellent views. Occasionally, birds fly by, branches tremble, and the rustling sound is healing and ethereal.
Be sure to protect yourself against mosquitoes, as there are many over the water. Although there is shade from the trees, still be mindful of sun protection, as there are many areas with direct sunlight, and the ultraviolet rays are strong, which can easily cause sunburn.
Different seasons offer different beautiful views, just enjoy them with a peaceful heart.
Perhaps it is also because there are few people, so there is not much to say about services, and most of it is operated by locals, so it's quite casual.

There is a wooden path between the forests of Lizhong Water Forest Park. The wooden tables and chairs are wild and interesting, the stone bridges are lying, and the pavilions are Lingyun. The buildings of various colors are dotted between green trees and clear water. In order to let visitors appreciate the special features of the water town, the park also regularly holds wild ducks, fish eagle fishing and other fishermen's performance projects, so that visitors can truly appreciate the leisure and pleasure of "the wild slumbers have a leisure time, the old trees are ugly with flowers". Jump on the wood, sit on the wooden chair, wear a good fight, wear a rescue suit, and prepare to drift along the outer edge of the Lizhong Water Forest. The lake in front of you is horizontal like a mirror, blue sky and white clouds. Green tree, flying bird

Lizhong Water Forest Park, this scenic area covers an area of about 2,000 acres, including 1050 acres of forest area and 950 acres of water area. This scenic spot can be said to have been built inadvertently. As early as the early 1980s, local people planted tree species such as cedar and metasequoia for the development of wasteland resources.
After more than 30 years, it has become a dense forest, and it has also attracted tens of thousands of birds to settle in. Many tourists regard this as a paradise in East China.

There are more than 60,000 birds in the forest at most, and there are more than 30,000 in the forest. The main ones are owls, wild ducks, egrets, black rhododendrons, grass parrots, and mountains. The scene of birds returning at dusk is very spectacular.
The locals still retain the traditional skills of fishing with ospreys, and now they have become performances in the scenic area.
This forest park is the largest constructed wetland ecological forest in Jiangsu Province, forming a water town landscape with water in the forest and birds in the forest. In the spring, together with the rapeseed in the Millennium Scenic Area, it constitutes the most beautiful scenery in Xinghua.

The scientific name of February Lan is called Zhuge Cai, which belongs to herbaceous plants. It has low requirements on soil light and other conditions, is resistant to cold and drought, and has strong vitality. Therefore, these flowers can easily survive under the pear flower, of course, February is also a kind of plant, which can be directly consumed by processing.
Secondary Lan is a very simple wild vegetable. Every February in the lunar calendar, it is full of mountains and plains, everywhere.
February is a very peaceful spring flower. She is very calm and only blooms when she really comes to Nanjing in the spring, not as worried as plum blossoms. The winter has not been exhausted, and the leaves have not yet grown, and they have blossomed in a hurry. She is also very tough, and the flowering period can be extended from February to April, faithfully fulfilling the duty of Chunhua to "Welcome Spring, Come with Spring, and Return to Spring". Not as short-lived as cherry blossoms. From the ambiguity to the dying, there are only seven days.

Lizhong Water Forest Park has the largest artificial wetland ecological forest in Jiangsu Province, which is the natural oxygen bar for urbanites to return to nature and leisure. The forest is mainly dominated by metasequoia, and in the late autumn season, the metasequoia has reached a beautiful time. The breeze blows through, the leaves are swaying, and the gentleness can shake people's hearts. When it rains, it rains. After the drizzle, the mist seems to cover the mysterious veil of the metasequoia. There is a desire to rest, you can hold the umbrella, walk through them in a light way, slow down. It seems as if you are stepping on time. The quiet bridge after the rain, because of the arrival of tourists, it is very lively. If you are wearing a paper umbrella, Tingtings bridge, you say that the people on the bridge are watching the scenery, or the people watching the scenery are watching you. This fascinating scenery is not the forest itself, but artificial fog, but it is really beautiful. The water system in the park is rich, forming a landscape of water in the forest, birds in the forest, which is very different from those in the deep forest. A group of people sat in the boat, and there was a completely different feeling in the water. The time seemed to slow down. I liked the feeling of mistyness, just like in a fairyland. The Chinese name of Zhisheng from the United Kingdom: Ali, who came to China to study, fell in love with the mountains and waters here. At first I saw the ID card and only saw the beard with a full face. I didn't expect it to be a handsome guy. Everything is very quiet, we have passed the time, passed through the years, maybe just to look at it. After the rain, the water drops let the dead leaves sing the ultimate beauty.
