Yilan's Little Europe: The Stunning Libi Lake with Bald Cypress Trees
Located in Yuanshan, Libi Lake is named because its shape resembles an open clam when viewed from above. Although the name might sound a bit plain, the lakeside planted with bald cypress and ginkgo trees, along with the wide expanse around the lake, truly gives off a European vibe. 💕
🌟 Every autumn and winter, the bald cypress trees gradually turn from green to red, displaying vibrant colors of orange, yellow, and red. Their reflections on the lake make the scene exceptionally romantic. Ducks swimming on the lake (though not swans 😂) add a touch of fairy tale illusion.
🌟 The lake attracts photography enthusiasts, especially during the transition of hot and cold temperatures, which creates a dreamy mist. The changing light and shadows at sunrise and sunset, the sunlight casting on Libi Lake, the colorful layers, and the reflections of trees, along with the vast green meadows and distant layered mountains, make it truly beautiful. 😍
💯 To be honest, there's not much to see besides the lake, so don't come with high expectations. Also, there's a 'blessed land' nearby, so those who don't like it should consider carefully! There's also a nearby B&B that was a filming location for the idol drama 'It Started with a Kiss' 20 years ago, featuring the love travel cabin of Xiangqin and Zhishu! (If you haven't heard of it, you're either too old or too young 😅)
