Alert ⁉️ Sanlin Binjiang Bald Cypress Trees Are About to Turn Completely Red, Best Viewing Period: December 15th Photos were taken last year on December 28, 2024.

The bald cypress forest in Shanghai Sanlin Binjiang Urban Forest is quietly changing its attire. After December 15th, this place will usher in its most splendid moment of the year. This hidden gem in the city, although not officially open yet, has already gone viral on social media platforms and is affectionately called 'Magic City Altay' by netizens. --- 1️⃣ Viewing Alert According to recent on-site reports, the bald cypress trees at Sanlin Binjiang are already looking their best. And based on previous years' experience, from December 15th onwards, will be the time when the bald cypress trees are at their reddest and most splendid.
