The Best Place to Enjoy Autumn at Gongqing

Who would have thought! Gongqing Forest Park in autumn is a hidden healing utopia within the city✨ No need to travel far to fully immerse yourself in a forest-style relaxation vibe. Whether walking, taking photos, or daydreaming, every second is healed by nature~ As soon as you enter the park, you are embraced by a sea of green and autumn gold. The tall dawn redwoods pierce the sky, sunlight filters through the branches casting dappled shadows, and stepping on the leaf-covered paths produces a gentle rustling sound—the softest whisper of autumn. Strolling along the lakeside, the water sparkles, occasionally waterfowl skim by, and the breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, washing away the city's noise, making even your breath sweet and fresh. Be sure to check in at the jungle trail! The intertwined branches form a natural archway. Whether in the sunny light and shadow or the moody overcast atmosphere, every shot looks like a forest-themed masterpiece.
