The scenery is so beautiful, I really want everyone to see it 🫘

The weather is truly great, with clear autumn skies and sunshine as bright as everyone's smiling faces 😊 I arrived here and had a day full of collecting a basketful of smiles ❗️ 🚗 Transportation There are buses 🚌 124, 868, etc. from near my home to the park entrance. By the way, when returning, there is a shuttle from the West Gate exit over the footbridge to the subway station entrance. 🚘 If driving, it's best to park at the West Gate; the South Gate parking spaces are limited and get crowded on weekends. 🎫 I don’t even remember when it started, but now entering the park requires no ticket and no reservation. I entered from the South Gate, the route is roughly like the last map 🗺️, passing many spots, some I can’t quite recall 😊 South Gate 👉 Lakeside Villa 👉 Huaming Bridge 👉 Yinghu Boating 👉 Pine Wave Valley 👉 Qiulin Aiwan 👉 West Gate ❤️ I originally didn’t plan to do a Citywalk in Gongqing Forest Park, but unexpectedly, surrounded by the beautiful autumn scenery, I couldn’t help but slow down, take photos, and just want to capture the moment’s beauty. Entering the park, I followed the main road forward, took two slight turns (passing a stone pavilion), walked past the shimmering lake, and couldn’t help but stop as the autumn breeze rippled the water’s surface. The water cypresses on the shore quietly turned caramel-colored, blending beautifully with the lake’s reflection. For a moment, it felt like stepping into an oil painting. Occasionally looking up, the white French-style villa across the lake seemed to have many people sitting in front, drinking something—I really wanted a cup too~~ According to the sign, this is the “Lakeside Villa.” 🚶 The path changed from a main road to a forest trail. Walking along the lakeside path, one side of the lake had caramel-colored redwoods, the other side lush green pines. The red and green mixed looked like a spilled palette of paint. Amazed, I crossed “Huaming Bridge.” Further ahead, there was a lively human atmosphere? No, I prefer to call it wild charm. Between the woods was a large green field (I don’t know if it has a name). To the naked eye, there were many tents, some for individuals, some for families, with plenty of gear. I saw an electric bike speeding by with a basket, and many colorful kites 🪁 flying. Continuing forward to Pine Wave Valley, despite the name “Pine,” the ground was covered with golden fallen leaves like a velvet carpet, crunching underfoot. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled light. Every snapshot was a perfect autumn scene, fully capturing the poetic “ground covered with yellow ginkgo leaves.” I thought I could end this beautiful autumn day like this, but the sea of red colors stopped me in my tracks 👣. No wonder it’s called “Qiulin Aiwan” (Autumn Forest Loves the Evening). Here are vast patches of maple trees. Trust me, clear some space on your phone because every photo here is a masterpiece~~ Ahead is the West Gate of the forest park. This forest Citywalk fully embraced the gentleness and relaxation of autumn!
