CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Autumn is a gorgeous, unique, and multicolored season composed of dark green, golden yellow, and light red colors attracting numerous citizens who came to take a stroll, view flowers, go camping, or go sightseeing. Today, let’s enjoy the romantic moments of autumn in Chongqing’s parks.

Haishi Park

Haishi Park, a botanical garden, boasts natural and rare plants, the unique karst landform that comes with thousands of beautiful and wonderful rocks, and a unique European-style ancient castle featuring special architectural style and amazing shape. The park is full of lush and green plants, strange rocks and gorgeous flowers. When walking in front of the castle hidden in the woods, the cylindrical outer walls of which is covered with green vines, you will feel as if stepping into a world of fairy tales.

The serene, beautiful, and ecologically balanced environment of the park, together with fresh air, offers tourists a change to get close to the beauty of nature.

Huayan Xingfu Park

Built on the hills, Huayan Xingfu Park flourishes with lush grass, gorgeous flowers, and luxuriant plants that form a lovely picture. Strolling along the trail, you will reach the pavilion located at the highest point of the park, where you can get an overall view of the magnificent sea of flowers. The purple flowers, red flowers, and orange flowers of zinnia grass mingle together to form a blaze of color. The combination of dazzling beauty and fresh elegance presents an idyllic and dream-like landscape picture of the park.

In addition, there are also peach blossoms, begonia flowers, cherry blossoms, prunus blireana flowers and camellia flowers in spring, osmanthus flowers in autumn, and Japan allspice and red plum blossoms in winter in the park, which conveys a strong sense of happiness to the tourists every season.

Caiyun Lake Wetland Park

Located at the junction of Jiulongpo District and High-tech Zone, Caiyun Lake National Wetland Park combines the hustle and bustle of the city with the serenity of a wetland, and presents its unique scenes every season. The park consists of 11 cultural scenic spots, including “Shanlin Yanyu”, “Fengyu Qiaolang”, “Linhulu Gang”, “Taohua Shilang”, “Bantao Huayu”, “Taohua Bandao”, “Cheshui Huange”, “Shuanghui Lanyue”, “Taolindu”, and “Qingzhou Xilan”, which are connected by a 2.8-kilometer barrier-free trail around the lake. A wide variety of peach flowers are planted along the trail, which fully demonstrates the perfect integration of natural ecology with culture and art.

Residents living nearby often come here to do exercise after dinner; some of them run around the lake, some dance, some play Tai Chi, some swing a sword and some play chess. A pontoon bridge is built over the lake; when pedestrians walk on the bridge, it seems as if they were integrating with the water. The waterwheel goes around and splashes water that forms a curtain, and a classical Chinese pavilion stands beside it, which look like a beautiful landscape painting of southern areas from afar.
