It's too beautiful—so stunning that you won't want to leave❗️❗️ 🌲 Yichun Travel Guide ❤️ Known as the "Forest Capital of China," Yichun boasts an average summer temperature of around 22°C, making it a perfect summer retreat. Here’s a 3-day itinerary combining natural wonders, forest oxygen therapy, and unique experiences: 📅 Recommended Itinerary 🔹Day 1: Red Pine Secrets & Fairy-Tale Deer Park 👍 Morning: Wuying National Forest Park Home to Asia’s largest virgin red pine forest, walk along wooden trails beneath 70-meter-tall ancient pines, with oxygen ions reaching up to 60,000/cm³. Spot wildlife like squirrels and woodpeckers. Don’t miss the historic "Shaoqi" forest train (dating back to 1953). 🍽️ Lunch: Forest delicacies at Wuying Grand Hotel (braised chicken with hedgehog mushrooms, stir-fried eggs with Siberian ginseng). 👍 Afternoon: Jinshan Deer Park Get up close with sika deer, feed them corn, and capture dreamy forest scenes straight out of a Miyazaki film.
