In a corner where Guangzhou and Foshan meet, a forest of deciduous bald cypresses has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike. At Shunde's Wuzhou Sluice, the deciduous bald cypresses stand tall and slender, adorned with feathery foliage that is both elegant and enchanting. Even as spring approaches, their leaves retain an orange-red hue, glowing under the golden sunlight to create a warm tapestry.
From above, the forest resembles a collection of oil paintings. Visitors have set up tents and formed long queues of cars equipped with coffee machines, allowing them to sip their brews while admiring this fairy-tale world. Groups of friends are cycling along the roadway beside the waterway, enjoying the warm sunshine and gentle breeze. It feels like they are navigating through a painting, with the scenery accompanying them every step of the way.
The beauty of the bald cypress extends beyond Wuzhou Sluice. The scenic Shunfeng Mountain Park, the pristine Guipan Lake, and the Desheng Riverfront have all become "blessed lands" for the trees to show their charm. Many visitors from Guangzhou, Foshan, and surrounding areas, whether driving, cycling, or walking, can all witness the stunning display of the bald cypress in Shunde.
