Girls! I personally experienced how stunning autumn is in Magic City today! 📍The autumn colors at Gongqing Forest Park are simply breathtaking—orange, yellow, and green, the forest dyed in layers, as if stepping into a fairy tale world! Taking advantage of the perfect sunshine, I tested and compiled this super comprehensive autumn viewing guide for you. Follow it and easily capture stunning autumn photos! 🗺️ My Golden Autumn Viewing Route South Gate → Bald Cypress Forest → Liao Feng Pavilion → Sanlian Forest → Taosheng Bridge → Hongzhuang Teahouse → Luxue House → Barbecue Area → Water Forest Wetland → Monet Garden (This route doesn’t backtrack and covers all the highlights!) ✨ Must-Visit Stunning Photo Spots Detailed 📸 1. Bald Cypress Forest - Highlight: Right at the entrance on the right is the main attraction! Towering bald cypress trees with colors transitioning from emerald green to golden yellow to brick red, creating a strong layered effect. Sunlight filters through the gaps, casting dappled shadows—breathtakingly beautiful. - Photo Tip: Walk further in to find a small bridge, an excellent spot to capture reflections of the bald cypress forest and a sense of depth, maximizing the atmosphere! 📸 2. Sanlian Forest - Highlight: Gongqing’s “Little Kyoto”! A gentle slope planted with ginkgo trees. When the autumn breeze blows, the ground is covered in golden leaves, truly a “Ginkgo Hill.” - Photo Tip: Be sure to shoot from the top of the slope looking down, or lie directly in the golden fallen leaves—every shot looks like a Japanese film scene! 📸 3. Taosheng Bridge - Highlight: A classic Chinese arch bridge surrounded by maple leaves. The bridge itself is a scenic spot, and shooting it from a distance is also picturesque. - Photo Tip: Find the best angle under the bridge to frame the bridge, its reflection in the water, and the surrounding red maples in one shot—definitely postcard-worthy photos! 📸 4. Liao Feng Pavilion & Surroundings - Highlight: A rustic pavilion hidden in the autumn colors, perfect for quiet, Zen-style photos. The surrounding reeds and autumn scenery add to the vibe. 📸 5. Monet Garden & Water Forest - Highlight: A surprise deep in the park! The combination of waterside plants and light truly evokes the feel of French painter Monet’s garden. The Water Forest Wetland is even more tranquil, a great place to enjoy peaceful solitude. 💡 Doubao’s Thoughtful Tips - Best Time: Sunny days are recommended for better lighting and higher photo success! The sunlight between 2-4 PM is the softest. - Outfit Suggestions: Wear light colors like white, beige, or khaki to stand out beautifully against the colorful autumn backdrop. - Transportation Guide: Take Metro Line 8 to Shiguang Road Station, then walk or bike a short distance to the South Gate. Driving is also convenient. - Ticket Info: 15 RMB per person, excellent value! - Environmental Protection: Beautiful scenery needs everyone’s care. Please enjoy it civilly—do not break branches or shake trees.
