You can skip other attractions on the way there and visit them on the way back according to your personal needs. 🎡 Attraction Introduction: The Metasequoia Forest in Cherry Valley is lush and can be called a natural oxygen bar. After the mist system is activated, the mist is pervasive, making you feel like you are in a fairyland! The Metasequoia Forest blocks the sunlight, so it won't be too sunny, but because of the mist, the air humidity is relatively high, and it will feel stuffy. 📷 Check-in Spots: P1-P6: The Metasequoia Forest in Cherry Valley, the tall and straight Metasequoia trees create a mysterious atmosphere, and the misty Cherry Valley looks like a fairyland! The photos taken here are amazing~ P7: On the boardwalk to Cherry Valley, with lush vegetation as the background, you can take fresh and natural photos, really healing!

In terms of outfits, it is recommended to wear light-colored dresses, sports casual wear, or Hanfu, all of which can complement the beautiful scenery of the Botanical Garden. 💡 Warm Tips: ⚠ Pay attention to sun protection and mosquito repellent measures, bring a sunshade and mosquito repellent! Otherwise, the price of taking photos might be mosquito bites all over your body, crying. ⚠ It is recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes because the park is large and requires a long walk. ⚠ There are many people taking photos on the wooden boardwalk, so it is recommended to go early.

National Botanical Garden travel guide! Really want to walk around? As someone who has been thoroughly educated by Beijing attractions, walking around? Exhausting! And you can't properly enjoy the attractions! So this time, I chose to take the sightseeing bus in the National Botanical Garden, which costs 20 yuan for a one-way trip. Enter the North Garden from the subway entrance and directly queue for the bus, which takes you straight to the entrance of Wofo Temple. The scenery along the way is particularly good, and you can easily reach the entrance of Wofo Temple. After getting off and paying the fee, you can choose to play nearby. There are many flowering trees, and they are especially beautiful today! You can also go up to Wofo Temple or Cherry Valley (it is said to spray mist, but there is a time limit, so I didn't see it!). There are also places selling food at the drop-off point. After strolling around, I planned to go to the free greenhouse in the South Garden to see the plants in the greenhouse. However, the distance was too far, so I decisively chose to continue taking the bus from the drop-off point. The same ticket price of 20 yuan, the sightseeing bus took a different route, and I successfully enjoyed the beautiful scenery of another route! Successfully returned to the main entrance, it was already nearly five in the afternoon. Since I bought a 10 yuan ticket, I directly scanned the code to enter the South Garden across the road (I met a few people who couldn't get in because they missed the ticket purchase time! So if you want to see everything, remember to buy tickets in advance! Pay attention to the time!) At that time, I was so tired that I thought the greenhouse trip in the South Garden would be postponed, but unexpectedly, it was so close to the South Gate entrance! And due to the time, there were not many people, and the plants in the greenhouse were bizarre and interesting! Highly recommended! The water lilies I took pictures of, so many varieties!
