Basic information about Siming Lake, tips for visiting Siming Lake, and recommendations for surrounding attractions
Some time ago, the metasequoia forest in Shanghai Country Park flooded the Internet. In fact, friends from Zhejiang should not feel sorry, because in Zhejiang Ningbo Siming Lake also has a metasequoia forest, and it is more beautiful and beautiful. In December, the metasequoia forest is even more beautiful under the bright sun!
It’s mid-December, and it’s the end of the ginkgo viewing season! Not long ago, there was an aunt who opened the trash can and scattered ginkgo leaves to take pictures! I felt that Auntie was in a good mood and still had some problems, but I didn't think there were any big problems or anything wrong with her.
Stop worrying about the ginkgo trees, they are starting to fall! The metasequoias of Nongbo Siming Lake are beginning to take the stage! Put on new red clothes, this December is dyed red.
From early December to January every year, Siming Lake is at its reddest. The red cedar forest has become a must-visit place for surrounding residents. In fact, not only is it beautiful in autumn and winter, but it is also incredibly beautiful in the green spring.
Each one is called Metasequoia. In fact, it is a pond cedar that grows in the water and is imported. There are also many in Hubei, and that is the city tree of Wuhan. Basic information about Siming Lake
