Some scenic areas are very large, remember to carry some food and drinks with you. Before setting off, I specifically went to the convenience store to buy two bottles of sugar-free tea Zhi Zhi Oolong🍵, tasting tea in the wilderness of nature, the faint fragrance of gardenia immerses one completely🌸. Moreover, this tea can also be used as a prop, to take some atmospheric photos, the packaging is really photogenic! From now on, it will be my travel companion! 🎉
Longbeishan Forest Park is a good place for leisure in Yixing City, with good air and good scenery. If you rent an electric car and turn around in it, you are not tired at all. Of course, it is better to be a car.
The park's gui garden planted a variety of osmanthus species such as golden gui, silver gui, dan gui, four season gui; the rhododendron garden planted dozens of varieties such as Chinese gui, Xixi, Taihe, Japanese gui; the rose garden also has a wide variety of categories, which is fascinating. Several characteristic flower gardens are about 100 mu in size. There are flowers in each garden in four seasons, the second flower is blooming, and the flowers are clustered. The garden is full of fragrance. In addition, there are peach gardens, pear gardens, chestnut gardens, tea gardens, etc., which are planted on a continuous scale. Visitors can pick fruit in the park, or they can pick tea and make tea by themselves to taste the fun of the farmhouse. Walking in the park, you can feel the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air.
Yixing Longbeishan Forest Park, just left 1/4, I am not physically able to go back to the house, big enough! The scenery is pleasant, the air is fresh, there are no people in the middle of the week, it is a great natural oxygen bar, recommended for tours around Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Explore the mountains of Niubei Mountain and feel the mystery and charm of nature. Feel the first choice of nature
Longbeishan Forest Park is a place of eye-catching and heart-catching, with the theme of each season in addition to the green eyes. Spring cherry blossoms, tulips, rhododendrons, summer lotus, autumn ginkgo and osmanthus, etc., turn the park into a huge palette. Lying on the lawn, blowing the wind, or watching children fly kites, time slips away so slowly.
It was already afternoon when I arrived, the sun was about to set, there were still a lot of people in the park, many of them came to play with children, and many of them were local residents if they didn't go out during the Spring Festival. Because it is winter, the color of the green plants is not so good-looking, and a bit bare, I imagine that it must be very lively in summer, and there is a large lawn to rest, and it takes time to walk all around.
It is the largest forest park in East China. Wenfeng Tower, History Hall, Science and Education Hall, Art Hall and other attractions have been built and opened.
