Qingxi Country Park in Shanghai's Qingpu district is known for its unique wetland scenery.

Admiring the dawn redwood forest in the water park has become a cherished tradition for Shanghai residents in the late autumn and early winter.

Viewed from above, the forest and water combine to form a breathtaking scene. As the season changes, the dawn redwood trees trade their green leaves for deep golden and amber shades, creating a stunning contrast under the sunlight.

With crisscrossing lake shores and islands, the park is home to a variety of aquatic species, serving as a genetic repository for Shanghai's aquatic life.
