Jinjiang genuine version 104 (minor revision)
It is less than 9 o'clock in the morning. The tall Metasequoia trees on both sides of the river stand on the shallow water surface with beautiful postures. Their upright trunks and dense branches and leaves block out the not-so-strong sunlight.
Tao Xiaoqing looked up and saw golden beams leaking out from the intertwined branches, slanting down into the woods from the upper right. She could also see tiny dust particles floating in the air.
A beam of light hit her face and she raised her hand to block it.
The light falling in the air was cut off, and her entire palm was illuminated, with faint sunlight covering her body, as if she had fallen into the morning light in the woods.
"Xiaoqing, don't move, I'll take a picture!" Tang Jingjing immediately picked up the phone.
She looked at the golden beam of light that hit the other person and spread out to illuminate her entire body with amazement in her eyes.
The light and shadow effects are beautiful.
The photo captures this scene.
Around them, white mist was lingering below the shallow water area, and the hazy fog rose slowly from under their feet and quickly spread to the entire Metasequoia forest.
The mist floating in the forest flows slowly along the water surface and the base of the tree trunks, constantly surging, making the entire Metasequoia forest look like a fairyland.
This is a spray device specially set up by Ye Han. It is open from 8 to 10 am every day, so that the entire Metasequoia forest is surrounded by mist, creating the beauty of a forest in the mist.
It can be called the real-life version of 'The Wizard of Oz'.
Tao Xiaoqing and the other person couldn't help but stare in amazement.
They and other tourists walked along the long wooden plank road to experience this dreamlike water forest up close.
The plank road here is completely different from that in the artificial lake. It is very low and built on the shallow water area, which is closer to nature.
There is a gurgling stream below the plank road, and you can hear the sound of running water hitting rocks. It is so close that it feels like you are walking on the water.
As Tao Xiaoqing and her companion walked on it, they felt that they were truly integrated into nature.
In the diffuse fog, there is a hazy Metasequoia forest and gradually open waters ahead, while the surrounding environment is still clearly visible.
The water near the shore is so clear that you can see the bottom. There are huge exposed rocks crisscrossing each other, and the bottom of the rocks and the moist soil are covered with moss.
Dense ferns grow wildly in the wetland environment, spreading all the way to the roots of the tree trunks. There are also bushes and vines climbing up the thick tree trunks, creating an omnipresent greenery.
Walking in the forest, the summer heat gradually dissipates, the sunlight is blocked, and the air is so fresh that it cannot be fresher.
With every breath, fresh air penetrated deeply into the lungs. Tao Xiaoqing closed her eyes and breathed in the slightly moist air, feeling that she had fallen deeply in love with this place.
It's so comfortable.
A natural forest oxygen bar and a summer resort.
The tourists in front kept taking pictures and exclaimed from time to time.
Tao Xiaoqing and Tang Jingjing also took photos of this beautiful forest in the fog.
"Look at the photos I took. They look like a fairyland."
"Me too, I just changed it to my phone wallpaper."
The Metasequoia trees on both sides are towering into the clouds, with thick trunks and dozens of branches extending outward. The crown width is more than 5 meters, and the few branches at the bottom extend all the way to the top of the plank road, which is very lush.
The feathery leaves are a fresh emerald green and are stacked together in clusters, giving them a graceful and elegant beauty.
If we use a person as an analogy, it is like a handsome young man with clear eyes and eyebrows, bringing a lively, upright and heroic posture.
Tao Xiaoqing couldn't help but stand aside and admire it.
She had never thought that trees like Metasequoia would be so beautiful. Just quietly appreciating its natural state growing in the water could bring an excellent visual effect.
After taking a few more photos, Tao Xiaoqing looked back at the plank road she had just walked on. The misty white fog covered it again, blocking everything.
Except for Tang Jingjing who was with her, the figures of other tourists were gradually submerged in the white mist and could not be seen clearly.
Suddenly, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the entire forest, empty and silent.
Further ahead, the other side of the plank road is a path made of raised flat stones, with a clear stream flowing underneath, which is quite artistic.
A girl in Hanfu was lying on the rocks on the shore, with the bottom of her skirt submerged in the water and swaying slightly in the water.
The round fan in his hand is gently waved with a leisurely posture, and the tall and beautiful Metasequoia behind him and the layers of mist floating around form a beautiful picture.
"Wow." The two exclaimed as they passed by, but did not go over for fear of disturbing each other's filming.
Tao Xiaoqing kept sighing in her heart: This Metasequoia forest is really perfect for taking ancient-style photos!
Not to mention post-production photo editing, the people and scenery in front of us are already perfect enough.
There is one more beautiful filming location in Huajianji.
She was really envious.
She must come to shoot next year, next year!
The water ahead became wider and the spray mist gradually dissipated. Four or five bamboo rafts were parked on the left side of the plank road.
There were tourists wearing orange life jackets waiting to get on.
"Jingjing, look, there's a bamboo raft!" Tao Xiaoqing's eyes lit up immediately: "Shall we go take a ride?"
"Okay." It was Tang Jingjing's first time to experience bamboo rafting, and she couldn't help feeling a little excited.
The two came down from the plank road, and the small wooden house next to it was the ticket office.
Tao Xiaoqing looked at the prices: 40 yuan per person (6-person raft), 200 yuan for a chartered raft (2 or 4 people).
A bit expensive.
But all bamboo rafts are priced this way.
It would be a shame not to see such a beautiful scenery.
So they both bought tickets.
Wearing life jackets, they waited behind the tourists in front, ready to board the second bamboo raft.
The bamboo raft is 8 meters long and has no black spots from being soaked. The bamboo is bright in color, so it must be new and is tied very firmly.
There are handrails on both sides, and six fixed bamboo seats are placed in the center, two in each row. You can sit directly on them.
Although it was a little shaky when they got on, once they sat down and held the armrests on both sides of the seats, they immediately felt much more at ease.
"Sit tight and get ready to go--" the boatman standing at the end shouted, propped up the bamboo pole, and the bamboo raft slowly moved.
The waterway was not wide, just enough for a bamboo raft to pass through, and the group of six people shuttled through the waters in the forest.
Several rows of Metasequoia glyptostroboides were planted on both sides. Some of the well-developed tree roots in the shallow water area were exposed, intertwined and tangled, like root sculptures of various shapes.
The mirror-like lake surface reflects the lush and graceful shadows of the trees, making the entire lake surface appear in a light green.
When the water ripples, the 'Metasequoia' in the water also ripples, as beautiful as an oil painting. The outstretched branches sometimes bend, reflecting the scenery of the lake and mountains, as if you are swimming in a painting.
Everyone was shocked by the beautiful scenery and took out their mobile phones to record videos.
The bamboo raft was moving very slowly. Tao Xiaoqing and the other person were swaying slightly under the effect of buoyancy. They could feel the sound of the lake water hitting the surrounding areas of the raft. It was closer to the water surface than a rowboat.
Even when the boatman turned, the slightly tilted angle allowed the water to spread to one side of the bamboo raft, and then seep through the gaps in the bamboo, leaving wet water marks.
The experience is great.
The feeling of floating on the water is particularly clear.
Tall Metasequoia trees passed by one after another. The broad branches blocked the sunlight, but there were still fine golden rays of light sprinkled on the water, illuminating the entire forest.
Here, breathing the fresh air, admiring the natural scenery, and drifting on a bamboo raft will give you a feeling of being out of touch with the world.
It seems as if I have escaped from all mundane affairs and complexity, and my soul has been purified.
Tang Jingjing heard the sound of flapping wings and the clear chirping of birds. She looked around and found several birds whose names she couldn't tell were perched on the branches and soon flew away.
Not far ahead, a pure white bird landed on a large exposed rock at the foot of the Metasequoia tree and looked up at them curiously.
"Xiaoqing, look, it's a egret!" Tang Jingjing was very excited, but she didn't dare to disturb the other party. She could only pull her friend's arm and lower her voice.
Tao Xiaoqing and other tourists also saw this beautiful bird.
It has pure white feathers, a long neck, a crane-like posture, a long and pointed beak, and a crest on the back of its head that flutters in the air as it turns its head, giving it a fairy-like look.
The tourists on the bamboo raft couldn't help but hold their breath, isn't she so beautiful?
Especially in this picturesque Metasequoia forest, the touch of white in the endless green is ethereal and graceful.
When some tourists were about to take pictures, it suddenly spread its wings and flew high. Its wide wingspan made its body look even more slender, and its wings were round and plump, revealing its long and slender feet underneath.
Several other egrets were startled and flew into the sky together, allowing everyone to truly experience what it meant to "a line of egrets flying into the sky."
No, it should be called 'A line of egrets enters the woods'.
One of the tourists was quick enough to capture the scene.
Under the shade of green trees and clear water, in the gaps between branches and leaves, pure white birds fly in a row in the forest, with full wings and elegant appearance. Sharing it is another amazing photograph.
Egrets are a national second-level wild protected animal. They often live at the seaside, lakeside and swamp wetlands. They like all kinds of fish, shrimps and insects. They are good at fishing and can eat five or six palm-sized fish a day.
The waters of Huajianji now include an artificial lake, Swan Lake and Metasequoia forest, with a total area of more than 300 acres, which is an extremely vast area of water.
The water here is clear, the reeds and aquatic plants are dense and varied, the water grass is lush, and the fish and shrimp are fresh, which attracts many birds, including national wild protected animals such as egrets.
Then Tao Xiaoqing and her friends saw other water birds, and even a shiny, dark-blue wild cormorant that landed on the front of the raised bamboo raft.
The distance is so close!
All the tourists dared not make a sound, but quietly observed or secretly took photos of the water bird with their mobile phones.
Cormorant, also known as osprey, is a medium to large fish-eating waterfowl with a streamlined body. It is good at diving, has an eagle-hook-shaped beak, and is highly capable of catching fish.
There is a small bag under the mouth called the throat pouch, which can store fish. ①
From ancient times to the present, fishermen have been domesticating cormorants. They can catch dozens of kilograms of fish every day, and several of them can work together to catch big fish. They are very smart.
However, due to various reasons such as its impact on the ecology, it is rarely seen nowadays.
However, the one in front of us is a wild cormorant, not artificially bred. Its feathers are shiny and its wings are broad and thick. It is obvious that it lives a very comfortable life.
All the fish caught go into his stomach and he doesn't have to spit them out.
Wild cormorants are also nationally protected animals and should not be captured easily.
It stayed on the bamboo raft for more than ten seconds, then suddenly spread its wings and flew up, diving its head into the water. It pecked a palm-sized fish with its sharp beak and swallowed it. The whole action happened in an instant and no one captured it.
Too fast! You are indeed a fishing expert!
However, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile as they could see the cormorants hunting.
The bamboo raft slowly passed through the Metasequoia forest and reached deeper waters.
The sunlight became much stronger and the view became wider. In front of us was a small island in the middle of the lake, with lush and green trees.
It is surrounded by shallow wetlands and clusters of reeds, as if encircling the island.
The tourists were all here for the first time and couldn't help but talk about it.
"Can I go up?"
"It should be possible."
"No way. I don't see any paths, pavilions or other man-made structures. There are only trees on them."
"It's not written on the ticket. There must be a round trip time when you go to the island, but there is no time here."
"What is this island for?"
“Maybe it hasn’t been developed yet, after all, the attraction has just opened.”
This is actually a habitat specially built by Ye Han for birds, covering an area of about 2,000 square meters. It not only covers Metasequoia, but also pond cypress, baldcypress, conifers, and various ferns and shrubs that were introduced later.
More than 600 trees were planted, and over 5,000 other plants, at an additional cost of $1.6 million.
But Ye Han thinks it's worth it.
Not only can some wild birds build nests here, but it can also add a lot of color to the Metasequoia forest.
The bamboo raft circled the outer edge of the small island in the middle of the lake, creating long ripples. More than a dozen egrets flew up from the island, attracting tourists to take photos.
The open waters sparkle, casting countless golden lights under the sun, and the green islands dotted on the lake like emeralds. The effect is even more magnificent when viewed from above.
The deep water area was not large, and after a few minutes, the bamboo raft returned along another water route.
The dense Metasequoia trees once again blocked the sunlight, their graceful postures and green reflections swaying on the water, and we re-entered the picturesque water forest.
It took a total of 25 minutes to get off the bamboo raft.
But it was an unforgettable 25 minute experience.
Tao Xiaoqing and the other person took off their life jackets and looked at each other, both of them seeming a little dazed.
The feeling of riding a bamboo raft through the forest is very novel. The scenery along the way is dazzling. You can appreciate the beautiful appearance of the Metasequoia and the beautiful scenery like an oil painting reflected in the blue waves; you can also get close to those wild birds...
A perfect journey, a journey of purification of the soul.
It was worth the trip.
Returning from the misty plank road, the two took many photos along the way, and each photo showed the freshness and comfort of walking in the forest.
In the hot summer, it is a great experience to go to the misty Metasequoia forest and take a bamboo raft ride.
It was already 10:30 when Tao Xiaoqing and her friend came out of the Metasequoia forest.
I stayed in there for two hours and still felt a little unsatisfied.
After 10 o'clock, the flow of people increased. There was an endless stream of tourists coming to the Metasequoia forest. There were people taking photos and exclaiming in amazement everywhere.
Unfortunately, they could no longer see the forest in the morning mist.
It is not suitable for spraying when the temperature rises and the sunlight is strong, usually only in the morning and evening.
Tao Xiaoqing and the other person couldn't help but sigh at their good luck. Fortunately they arrived early.
They took their tickets and boarded the sightseeing bus, got off at the lavender sea scenic area, and headed towards the dreamy blue and purple sea of flowers.
The two of them wandered in the vast lavender garden, with a huge rainbow appearing behind them and the golden light of the windmill spreading. They sat on the swing in the middle and floated upwards, leaving behind many precious photos.
…
After finishing the tour and leaving from Gate 2 which was closer, the two couldn't help but sigh: Every time I come to Huajianji, I have a different feeling and it exceeds my expectations.
The weather is quite hot now. They will come again after it rains in two days and the weather becomes cooler.
You can take a rowboat to admire the lotus pond and Victoria amazonica, and also visit the rose garden.
Since the Metasequoia forest opened, countless beautiful pictures have swept across major social platforms.

…
In addition to sharing the scenery, various photos are also emerging in an endless stream.
A blogger shared a video of himself standing on a bamboo raft in a Hanfu costume, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and walking through the lush Metasequoia forest, as if he was traveling in a painting.
Both the light and the scenery are amazing.
Therefore, after the park closed, more and more people came to take photos, making this Metasequoia forest earn the title of "the most beautiful Metasequoia forest".
At the same time, some bird lovers discovered the wild birds here and came here specifically to photograph them.
Since the Metasequoia forest has just been built, there are not many bird species, but the egrets, wild ducks, and others that previously flew to the artificial lake and Swan Lake are now preparing to rest in the dense Metasequoia forest.
There are thousands of Metasequoia trees, the water is clear, and the island in the middle of the lake is densely vegetated and undisturbed, which will be the best habitat for them.
Staff from the W City Wildlife Conservation Association were also alerted and prepared to come to count the number of wild birds in the botanical garden after a period of time.
They were deeply impressed by Huajianji.
After all, wild swans came here to spend the winter peacefully last year, which is enough to show that the ecological environment is good. The construction of the Metasequoia forest this time has further optimized the environment.
The 750-acre area, with its wide variety of flowers, vast waters, and dense forests, may bring them some surprises.
Since the arrival of summer vacation, the number of tourists to Huajianji has rapidly soared to more than 7,000, and the opening of the Metasequoia forest has pushed its popularity to its peak, with an average of more than 10,000 tourists received every day.
Fortunately, after the expansion, the area of the park has increased, with more than ten attractions for tourists to visit, plus sightseeing buses to disperse the flow of people. After emergency flow control, it is sufficient to accommodate the crowds.
The deployment of sightseeing buses is just right.
When the midday sun is at its strongest, tourists can sit in the air-conditioned sightseeing bus, spend 30 minutes to see all the scenery in the park, and then go to the science museum or surrounding shops to buy a cup of signature drink. It is also a very good experience.
The Bamboo Fragrance Oolong has been sold out, and the beverage shop’s nine employees are not enough, so they hired three part-time staff to be responsible for packaging, and they are very busy.
Two part-time staff were also sent to help in the dining area at Gate 2.
On the busiest day, we sold 3,000 orders of drinks, which means we had a daily sales volume of nearly 100,000!
Not counting the revenue from peripheral products and ticket sales, the "side business" of the beverage shop alone brings in tens of millions in profit a year.
Especially after becoming self-sufficient in tea costs, the profit margin has increased to over 80%.
Not to mention ticket and peripheral income.
This summer, the visitor flow of Huajianji is comparable to that of some well-known 4A/5A scenic spots.
As the beautiful scenic spots in Huajianji spread on the Internet, the time that Qingshuang UP agreed to shoot the MV was approaching.
