Hiking Trail in Jiangyangfan Ecological Park, West Lake Scenic Area, Hangzhou
West Lake is so beautiful, so beautiful.
I never expected that the park formed from the silt of West Lake would be so beautiful.
Plants grow freely in the silt of West Lake, forming Jiangyang Fan.
Jiangyang Fan is known as “Little West Lake” in Hangzhou.
Here, the wetland ecology is lush with greenery and wild charm.
The moonflowers in Zuixia Slope bloom like a cartoon world.
The wooden boardwalk winds through nine bends and eighteen curves, deep and enchanting.
Yellow earth paths, wild birds, bees, and butterflies.
Occasionally, the laughter of diners from the open-air restaurant drifts by.
All of this is set against the backdrop of Yu Huang Mountain and the blue sky.
It’s truly too beautiful.
