I thought the rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan were beautiful enough, until I went to Xinghua.

Xinghua | A hidden gem in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai🌟 In the bustling and lively Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region, there is a small town like a paradise - Xinghua. It is like a pure land in the noisy world, a utopian ideal. The famous Thousand-Island Rapeseed Flower Sea has become one of the "four largest flower seas" in the world, a beautiful wonder gifted by nature. Every March, thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers bloom like golden waves, surging across the land. Take a boat and leisurely sail into the depths of the sea of flowers to truly experience the dreamlike poetry of "the boat travels in the painting, and people walk in the flowers," as if entering a fairyland. 📍This hidden gem is located in Xinghua, Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, with incredibly convenient transportation. It only takes 2 hours to drive from Nanjing. If you depart from Suzhou or Shanghai, it takes 3-4 hours to reach this poetic place. If you choose to travel by high-speed rail, after arriving at Taizhou Station, there is a special bus line that will take you directly to the Xinghua Thousand-Island Scenic Area, easily starting this romantic spring trip. 🔁A well-planned two-day, one-night itinerary for you: Day 1: In the morning, step into Xinghua with anticipation and head to the Thousand-Island Rapeseed Flower Sea. Immerse yourself in the golden ocean of flowers and let the rich floral fragrance surround you. Then stroll through Wu Jindang Park, walk along Waterway No. 1, and see the natural scenery and cultural landscape complement each other, with beautiful scenery all the way. In the evening, step into the Jindongmen Scenic Area, shuttle through the antique streets and alleys, and explore the traces of history. Day 2: Head to Lizhong Water Forest Park and embark on a forest secret adventure. ✅Must-see attractions: 1⃣Thousand-Island Rapeseed Flower Scenic Area: In March, over 4,600 acres of rapeseed flowers bloom in a spectacular display, golden and fragrant. Boating in the sea of flowers, the breeze carries the rich fragrance of wildflowers, refreshing the heart. Ascend the watchtower and look out into the distance, the magnificent scenery of the entire flower sea scenic area comes into view, like a gorgeous oil painting spread out beneath your feet. Every photo you take has a blockbuster quality, capturing the most romantic moments of spring. 2⃣Lizhong Water Forest Park: In my heart, this is the real-life version of the "Green Forest" in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. Take a simple wooden raft and drift slowly on the water, with towering metasequoia forests overhead, and sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating dappled light and shadow. Occasionally, a few birds skim across the water, creating ripples. In an instant, it's as if you've traveled through time and stepped into a dreamy fairy tale world, quiet and beautiful. 3⃣Wu Jindang Park (Waterway No. 1): This is an ecological park born and thriving by the water. The 16-kilometer-long Waterway No. 1 is like a smart ribbon, cleverly connecting the major scenic spots in Xinghua. Walk along the waterway, with sparkling lake water on one side and natural scenery and historical and cultural landscapes on the other. Every step is a scene, so beautiful that it is dazzling, making you lose yourself in the beauty. 4⃣Jindongmen Scenic Area: Jindongmen, with a history of over a thousand years, still retains the ancient style and unique charm of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The former residence of Zheng Banqiao and Zhao Haixian's Western-style House stand quietly here. Every brick, tile, plant, and tree tells the story of Xinghua's past glory and prosperity, the best witness to the long history and culture of this small town. 🍜The cuisine of Xinghua is equally intoxicating: Shagou fish balls are tender and melt in your mouth; Shagou lotus root clips are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, overflowing with the fragrance of lotus root. And the famous Xinghua morning tea is definitely the "ceiling" of the morning tea world. The rich and diverse tea snacks and exquisite cooking leave a lingering fragrance in your mouth. Once you taste it, the unique flavor leaves an indelible mark on your taste buds, making you reminisce for a long time. 🏠Accommodation guide: If you want to slow down your travel pace and experience the slow life of the small town, you might want to stay in Xinghua for one night. If you pursue convenient and efficient travel, hotels in the city center are your best choice. If you prefer a quiet and tranquil environment, the homestays around the Thousand-Island Scenic Area can satisfy all your imaginations of a peaceful night, accompanying you to sweet dreams and ending a beautiful day perfectly.
