Qingxi country park is located as a suburban wetland type country park. It is the only country park with wetland characteristics in Shanghai. In particular, the diversity of aquatic species can be called the natural native aquatic species gene pool in Shanghai. It has the reputation of "water Kanas"! The park highlights the construction characteristics of "taking forest as the body, wild as the soul and water as the rhyme".

The whole scenic area is built around the Dalian Lake Wetland in Qingpu District.

Beautiful scenery, natural and fresh. It meets the urban people's dream of returning to the countryside and pursuing the memory of Jiangnan.

Qingpu, the "land of fish and rice" in Shanghai, is the only country park with wetland as its feature. Taking the aquatic Taxodium forest planted 38 years ago as the "treasure of the town garden", relying on the ecological restoration project of Dalian Lake, Qingxi country park is crisscrossed with green waves and egrets in the fir forest.

The water surface area of the park is one-third, and the aquatic species are diverse. The theme of the park is wetland, ecology, nature and recreation. It has three functional areas: water town farmland demonstration area, ecological conservation functional area and fishing village leisure experience area

The main landscapes include aquatic forest, Chinese fir forest and Heron shadow, Qingyun wild path, silver grass flower area, rippling wetland, peach blossom ferry, etc. Among them, more than 60 mu of aquatic forest is unique in Shanghai, known as the wonder of Taxodium.

Qingxi is homonymous with "Qingxi", the treasure of the town. The water forest is full of water rhyme and aura. I think the following ancient poem is especially suitable to describe the beauty of Qingxi's ethereal and quiet

Cunninghamia lanceolata is a unique tree species in China. It is a national first-class protected plant, and has the reputation of "giant panda in the botanical world". In late autumn, the beautiful trees are reflected in the water, which amazes all the tourists.

In late autumn and early winter, the green leaves of water fir trees turn to ochre red and stand in the water, which is very spectacular. Qingxi country park in Qingpu District of Shanghai is a "water forest", which is also the only "water forest" in Shanghai.

With Dalian Lake as the center, it covers an area of 83 mu. In the morning light, a large area of Metasequoia stands in the water. The water is like a mirror, reflecting the straight body of the tree.

For 38 years, the trees have adapted to grow in the water, with thick roots firmly rooted in the water.

The crimson Metasequoia stands up in the sky, beautiful in the sunlight, and occasionally waterfowl stop by, which is worth collecting.

Every winter (November 20 - December 20) is the best viewing period. The most beautiful season in modu is the Metasequoia forest. Let's go to Qingxi country park to enjoy it!

Autumn in Qingxi country park is not only golden, but also colorful

There are lakes, rivers and all kinds of birds

The area of the scenic spot is very large. The parking lot and bus station are far away from the entrance of the scenic spot. You can choose to take the battery car for sightseeing in the scenic spot. In the best viewing period, you need to wait in line. And it takes a long time to walk into the scenic area.

The first time we came here, we wanted to have a look along the way, so we didn't take the battery car to visit the scenic spot. It turns out that it's right. There are many scenic spots along the way. It's very popular.

It's Zilian road to get off the bus. You have to walk more than 900 meters north to get to the tourist center. It's a straight and smooth asphalt road. The black road passes through the farmland on both sides, which is particularly beautiful and dazzling. Beside the road are hundreds of meters of thick, square log Wisteria trellis. Although it's autumn now, wisteria flowers have already withered, but the wisteria on the trellis are intertwined with each other, and the branches and leaves are still luxuriant, The green vines lined up the corridor. The corridor was stacked in layers and could not see the end at a glance.

Next spring, when Wisteria blooms, clusters of Wisteria will be covered with flower racks, forming a purple "time and space tunnel". The scenery must be spectacular.

There is a river beside the road. The river is full of residual lotus. If you want to see how beautiful the green lotus is in summer, you must come to appreciate it in summer

From time to time, there are egrets feeding on the river and herons flying. Although Dalian Lake in autumn is inferior to spring and summer, it has the charm of autumn.

A leisurely tour of the river

After entering the country park, you can see a picture of Jiangnan Water Town in Shanghai's new countryside.

We can't help but feel better, and the tiredness of the journey has been swept away.

The white walls and tiles, the scattered farmhouses, a peaceful, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The park has a large area, so the park still retains the natural village of the aborigines Lianhu village.

Crisscrossing rivers and lakes, idyllic scenery, well arranged houses, and simple and elegant rural style

On 3200 mu of arable land, high-quality rice, green fruits and vegetables and lotus root crops are allowed to flow with rich green.

In 2014, Lianhu village was listed in the first batch of beautiful rural demonstration villages in Qingpu District. In 2015, it was rated as a beautiful rural demonstration village in Shanghai, in 2018 it was rated as a national ecological and cultural village, and in 2018 it was selected as one of the first batch of pilot villages of Rural Revitalization demonstration villages in Shanghai.

"Lotus around the wrist, water chestnut far lead clothes." There are thousands of acres of lotus ponds, lotus leaves, lotus fields, fish play among lotus leaves.

"A river of mist shines on the sunny haze, and people on both sides of the river draw on the eaves." There are white walls and tiles, clear water and poetic paradise. This is the country fair.

The village fair, about 700 meters west on Lianxie Road, has a panoramic view of Dalian Lake.

The whole Qingxi country park is arranged around Dalian Lake. This is an isosceles triangle lake. Dalianhu is famous for its bright surface and large area of lotus.

Wetland lotus pond

Strolling along the Bank of Dalian Lake, the 5.5km long trail around the lake is quiet and has a wonderful view. Dalian Lake is a natural lake with an area of 1 square kilometers. Wild lotus grows in the wetland beside the lake, which is the scenic spot of wetland lotus pond.

It's a pity that early autumn is not the season to watch the lotus. From a distance, the lotus has withered and the lotus leaves have withered. In June and July next year, it must be the moonlight in the lotus pond. It is said that this is the most beautiful season to visit Qingxi country park.

In summer, a pool of bright red green, autumn, another night of wind and rain, only "leave residual lotus listen to the rain"

Bright moon in the sky, autumn wind blowing, lotus pond floating leaves, flowers to branch dry.

The crystal dews on the decaying lotus leaves remind people of the beautiful summer season, but I clearly see the lonely and confident beauty hidden in the remnant lotus in the slow pool!

Once elegant and gorgeous noise also fade into a piece of broken branches and leaves

From a distance, there are three 500 square meters of small islands in the middle of Dalian Lake, collectively known as Lianxin Island, with luxuriant vegetation. Three small islands in the middle of the lake. There seems to be no buildings and no indigenous people on the island.

On the west side of Dalian Lake, separated from Dalian Lake all the way, there are endless rice fields, just like a huge golden carpet between heaven and earth.

In the distance, the white farmhouses are dotted in the rice fields, just like a rich oil painting.

This is a good quality frog rice, single cropping late rice, frog rice, Qingpu quality thin rice varieties, planting area is located in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River drinking water source protection zone. In order to effectively control rice pests, ensure food security, reduce environmental pollution and promote the sustainable development of agriculture, the "frog rice symbiosis" cultivation mode was adopted.

From south to northeast to jinkoumen port

After passing jinkoumen port, follow the signpost and pass dalianhu service post station. After passing the service post station, about 100 meters ahead is Lu Xue's trail. Lu Xue's trail can only be seen from afar.

One section ahead is Lianxin bridge. Lianxin bridge has two arch bridges, a wooden pavilion and a zigzag plank road. You can see a large area of flourishing reeds floating in the wind in the wetland on the side.

Standing on the plank road, standing on the first arch bridge, you can see the winding plank road near, the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the Lu Xue maze, the Yongjing nunnery in the distance, the blue sky and white clouds.

The lotus heart bridge and Lu Xue maze that the tour guide identified are opposite the rippling wetland. Separated from the main scenic area "ecological conservation area" of the park, through the barbed wire, you can see a lotus pond. A laborer is picking lotus roots. In the morning, you can see that it is pulling lotus roots in the lotus pond,

In the afternoon, I came out to see that the lotus root on the river was packed in bags

Good long lotus root, with the joy of harvest to take home.

Walking along the trail around the lake, you will arrive at the ecological conservation area. Because of the disease, there is only one entrance and exit. You can enter the park by showing your personal code and taking your temperature.

The shadow of the Chinese fir forest

On the right of the ecological conservation area is the rippling wetland

On the left is the shadow of egrets in the fir forest. There is a pond fir forest. The water is clear and sometimes an egret hovers in the air,

The shadow of Chinese fir forest is the Chinese fir forest on the land. Some of the Chinese fir trees here have put on red makeup, some are green, some are yellow, and round fruits are hanging heavily on the branches.

There are also scattered pond fir in the lake,

There are lakes, rivers and birds. There are egrets and night herons

The blue sky, the warm sunshine, the tranquil lake and the gorgeous fir trees are like oil paintings, which make people stop to watch.

On the wooden plank road, on the small bridge and in the fir forest, they are all good punch points.

Beside the plank road, there are small bridges and flowing water, birdwatching buildings, thatched pavilions and colorful flowers, which add to the magnificent water forest and increase the interest of sightseeing. It is worth the trip.

There is a two-story bird watching building on the side of the wooden bridge. The bird watching building is for the convenience of tourists to hide so that wild birds can be bold and comfortable.

There are telescopes in the bird watching building to observe birds, and some specimens of local birds are also displayed.

Beside the plank road, there are small bridges and flowing water, birdwatching buildings, thatched pavilions and colorful flowers, which add to the magnificent water forest and increase the interest of sightseeing. It is worth the trip.

Let's go to Qingyun Yejing plank road

Qingyun wild path shuttles between Wanyan and fir forest

Through the forest path to taohuadu

Peach blossom ferry

In taohuadu, although we didn't see peach blossom in full bloom, we saw a few peach blossoms on the tree, showing their vitality

Here the Taxodium stands tall and upright, and its leaves turn red from green to yellow. It's also beautiful.

Water forest

Through the plank road of taohuadu, you come to the "water forest"

Take a deep breath, and you will feel relaxed and happy. Tall and straight Metasequoia, look around, eyes of ochre red, as if a string of red curtain. Water around the tree, set up in the water, is really a forest spectacle!

Water ripple, smoke lock pond, Xia dye Chi fir. Standing in the water, Chi fir is red across the sky.

Water around the tree, set up in the water, is really a forest spectacle!

The red reflection of different shades in the water is hazy, and the haze is red, as strong as oil painting.

The water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the straight trunk and thick roots. It's like entering a dreamland. It's wonderful!

The trunks in contact with the water are about one to twenty centimeters long, which are very thick, like the soles of an elephant's feet. It's like the fir tree wears a pair of shoes in the water, which is very novel.

Is it like a tree carving

In the secluded depths of the water forest, the plank road has been transformed into a thatched promenade, which has a unique flavor.

Walking on the wooden plank road on the water is like walking in fairyland.

Seeing the red touch of regret, I sincerely sigh for God's care for Chi Shan.

On the wooden plank road, on the corridor bridge, in the wooden pavilion, on the platform near the water, how to take pictures is beautiful.

The pond fir is still green and green, the water surface is slightly wavy, and the reflection in the water is hazy. The sun shines through the treetops, forming a rippling spot on the water surface.

On the other side of the figure below, you can turn right at the exit of the ecological conservation area in this area and walk about two or three hundred meters.

Visitors usually enjoy the beautiful scenery of water forest in the conservation area, and seldom punch in at this place. There are few people here, with a wide view and a panoramic view of the water forest

Wetland bay weir is expected to slow the flow of lake water, increase the cycle of lake water flow, and further enhance the effect of water purification. In 2010, the project of "ecological planting mode research of dalianhu wetland restoration area" organized by wildlife protection and management station showed that the water quality of the demonstration area was significantly improved through ecological planting and breeding of dalianhu lake. The deep removal rate of ammonia nitrogen in the water body was as high as 89%, and the removal rate of COD reached 67%. The water quality recovered from class V to class V, and the biodiversity was improved.

There are few tourists here. The scenic spot is a large wetland, so you don't have to choose it if you are short of time

Dihua district (it is not marked on the map, but can be seen by the naked eye). The road name is marked with Dihua 1st Road and Dihua 2nd Road, which intersect with Yinghua Avenue

Large areas of reed grass are planted on both sides of the water bank and the road,

There are a lot of water birds in the water area, such as black grouse and little greyhound

Speaking of Di, many people may feel strange and even mistake it for reed. It is not totally groundless that the two are confused: not only because they look like each other, they both have the function of purifying water quality, but also "Jianjia" in the familiar sentence "Jianjia is green, White Dew is frost" refers to the grass that has not yet grown ears and the newborn reed.

The white grass flowers are silvery in the sunlight, like hair dancing in the autumn wind.

The reflection of a piece of white silver grass in the water, together with the blue sky and white clouds, compose a beautiful chapter of autumn.

It's a beautiful scene of "green reeds, White Dew as frost, an Iraqi, on the side of the water".

When the wind blows up the grass, it's beautiful.

When the breeze blows, far away, like a wave of wheat. Bai Juyi, a poet of Tang Dynasty, once used "Maple Leaf and silver grass blooming in autumn" to highlight the bleak autumn scenery.

Chihuahua and Chihuahua match, Chihuahua has been red in full swing, and dihuahua grows wantonly and majestically, and is eager to compete with Chihuahua.

Coming out of the conservation area and taking the Lianxin bridge, it would be perfect to have a week around the lake, but there is not enough time, so we can only look forward to coming again next time. This autumn tour of Qingxi is on November 30, and the Taxodium will be more red in half a month. Although I have some regrets, I still have some thoughts. I originally planned to write my travel notes again around the 15th. After listening to the weather forecast, the weather is not ideal. I may not be able to do as I wish. I sent the travel notes first. If it can be renewed, father-in-law sun will support it!
