National Day holiday is coming soon. Speaking of visiting Changshu, I believe that friends from other places generally choose Shajiabang . In fact, Changshu Shanghu The autumn scenery is simply beautiful, especially the water forest in Shanghu Scenic Area, which is a huge green oxygen bar, which is worth a visit!
Shanghu water forest covers an area of more than 300 acres and is the largest ecological wetland forest in East China. You will feel refreshed when you come here through the quiet tree-lined avenue. Even in midsummer, as soon as you enter the water forest scenic area, you immediately feel that the temperature has dropped by several degrees, making it cool and comfortable.
water forest is in the inner lake. From a distance, you can see a large area of pool pine and pine pine mixed forest, lush and green, standing in the lake water, standing neatly like soldiers, very magnificent. Many tourists mistakenly think that these trees grow in the water. In fact, their real names are pond fir or feathered fir.
Ponds are native to the Americas. When US President Nixon visited my country in 1972, he brought seeds of tree seeds to our country as a gift. The trees on the water have taken root and sprouted in our country since then. Decades later, these water woods formed a water forest landscape similar to the Amazon River basin.
Shangshui Forest has the reputation of "Jiangnan Amazon ". Of course, it is very far away from the real Amazon water forest, but it is rare to have such a water forest in the Jiangnan area.
boardwalks are surrounded by a row of black-sailed boats and bamboo rafts. This is a means of transportation to enjoy the water forest. If you hold a bamboo raft, float in the forest, listen to the ethereal birds singing, feel the light attack of the lake wind, and watch "the setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color", how fascinating it would be!
strolls on the boardwalk and sees the beautiful scenery in the lake. The fir branches are tall and the trees are soft and the reflections are swaying. The sun shines mottled light and shadow through the treetops, full of vitality. The plank road in the forest is winding and stretching into the distance, and there are also introduction signs of various precious water birds hanging on the plank road. The sun is soft, the trees are lush, and the years are quiet.
From time to time, white birds brown in front of their eyes, their light figure and beautiful bird singing bring joy to this green oxygen bar.
Shanghu's water quality is famous for its excellent quality and has always maintained its national second-level standard, ranking first among all lakes in Suzhou. The beauty of the ecological environment has attracted all kinds of precious birds. They carry their children and daughters, fly over the mountains and ridges, and come here from a distant place to build a nest and settle down.
According to the information, there are 63 species of lake birds, among which the national key protected birds are: Chinese merganser , black stork , white stork , swans, mandarin ducks, etc. This has become a paradise where thousands of egrets live and stay.
I was in the woods next to the plank road and saw many elderly tourists chatting. They were leisurely and contented, chatting and laughing.
A 68-year-old man told me that she comes here almost every day. The oxygen ions here are very high, and she is in a happy and comfortable mood while sitting by the lake. Indeed, the lakeside was full of greenery, and after sitting for a while, I didn't feel relaxed or happy.
The surrounding environment of the water forest is also quiet and elegant. In the forest, you can see clusters of bright red flowers on the other side, and there are also delicate Gesang flowers . The air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. Although the osmanthus is not fully blooming, its fragrance is refreshing.
In the woods not far away, chrysanthemums bloomed in various shapes and colorful colors, like laying a colorful carpet, lighting up the deep forest.
There is a seller of Shanghu Ling next to the plank road. Because of its good water quality, the watery Shanghu Linghu Linghu is very famous. Peel the shell and the white lily meat is tender and sweet, it is the taste of the Jiangnan water town!
Here, birds sing and flowers scent; here, the air is fresh; here, the shadow of the egret in the forest... Shanghu Water Forest is a green ecological tourist destination far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
