First stop:

Chishan Lake National Wetland Park

Address: Southwest of Jurong City, Jiangsu Province

I went to a friend's house last week. The friend's house is actually located in Jurong City. Now that we are all older, we don't have to accompany our children to travel through various training classes on weekends, and we have our own weekend time. She suggested meeting to travel on Chishan Lake in Jurong sometime. Although Jurong is very close to Nanjing and Jurong's tourism development is also booming. For example, Maoshan and Baohua Mountain are both famous eco-tourism destinations in Jurong, this is the first time I have heard of Chishan Lake. Isn't it a bit ignorant? Looking at their respective schedules, they immediately set the time. Hurry up and see the autumn scenery in late autumn!

Take the Nanjing-Hangzhou Highway from Maqun, a S122 Expressway, pass Tangshan and Jurong. There is no bridge toll, and you will reach the Chishan Lake Parking Lot located in the southwest of Jurong City, Jiangsu Province in about 50 minutes. This steeple building is the tourist service center.

The fir decoration in the tourist service center is very pastoral.

Parking the car in the parking lot and walking into the scenic area. The scenic area now does not require tickets. There were small trains and rented bicycles at the entrance of the scenic area, so we just chose to walk.

On crisp autumn days, walking is an exercise and a freedom.

The road is beautifully repaired. There are large patches of reed reed on the greenway in the middle. The long and slender green leaves hold up the ears of reed flowers and fly in the wind.

The reed reed swayed, like a fairy dancing.

The ears of reed flowers are long and beautiful, like the long sleeves of a fairy.

A proud purple flower

In addition to the straight road, there is also a winding path paved with rocks among the reeds that leads us deep into the embrace of nature.

There are many varieties of reeds of different heights and heights. They cannot be named one by one. They can only be collectively referred to as reeds here.

The aquatic vegetation by the lake is still green and green, and they are intertwined with the withered lotus leaves to form a typical autumn scene.

The winding path, the yellowing reeds, and we walked under the warm sunshine...

A sad and beautiful picture amidst the chaos of grass.

The little train waited quietly

An autumn scene

Qinghuayuan Bridge

Nanjing's mother river, the Qinhuai River, has two origins. Chishan Lake is one of the sources of Nanjing's mother river, the Qinhuai River.

Standing on the bridge and looking at the scenery

Leaning on the bridge and looking at the scenery

In autumn, the leaves turn yellow or alternate with yellow and green, and the maple leaves on this side of the yellow and green bushes turn red, creating a colorful world.

But there is still strong vegetation that still maintains her green clothes.

As long as the picture is frozen, the red leaves are matched with the yellow leaves, green plants, and the house with white walls and red tiles in the distance, Chishan Lake in autumn is a colorful picture.

Young couples gallop on bicycles, and their youthful vitality can infect us in an instant.

Chishan Lake covers a large area and is surrounded by rivers. Here, the water network is intertwined vertically and horizontally, with narrow rivers and vast lakes, either intertwined or separated.

The long dam divides the water into different areas, which is both practical and beautiful.

The clear water quality can see the swaying water weeds in the river

Take a look at the stronger autumn colors! Green, yellow and red each have their own role on the palette. In addition, the lake water is crystal clear, and the lake reflects the colorful vegetation on the shore and exudes a magical light.

A large area of fir trees at the bridge of the bridge were fiery red at this time, like balls of flames spreading in the green forest.

There are so many colors that I can't distinguish them one by one.

A small forest is not only rich in vegetation varieties, but also richer in colors.

A huge stone lies across a large square at the southern end of the bridge, with several eye-catching characters written on it: "Chishan Lake National Wetland Park".

The huge stone is in a large V shape, and on another stone tablet is a map of Chishan Lake and its surroundings. After reading this plan, you will have a more vivid understanding of the entire geographical location.

Several small flowers compete for beauty in the golden reed path in the square.

The iconic sculpture on the square.

Yellow reeds and green reed reeds lead us forward.

A clump of reed reeds held high in the reeds.

An L-shaped display board layout is an introduction to the human geography and historical figures of Chishan Lake.

Simple signs tell us the direction

A crude cement road leads to the central pier of the lake.

Look at the lake scenery from the road dam, the calm and vast lake surface, the dynamic reeds, and the aesthetic beauty of suitable movement and movement.

The dense reeds on the lake stand tall tenaciously, holding their heads high and smiling proudly on the lake and sea.

On the bank of Chishan Lake, in front of the reed swamps, reed flowers float in autumn. It is the most beautiful season for red fir and reed white!

Looking back at the Cultural Square, there are water-friendly platforms, viewing platforms, and sculptures on the hills, stacked one after another. Water plants in the water, reeds near the water, and green willows on the hills are stacked on top of each other. The two layers cover each other and are extremely vivid.

If there is a lake, there must be a boat. The tranquility of the lake and the static mooring of the boat make this place more peaceful.

The park is very big and quiet. While we were walking, we met a family of three local people on the dam breathing the fresh air here. I also chatted with them for a few words. The young wife thought there was nothing fun about it, while the young husband thought it was so nice, quiet and the air was good. Think about it, nowadays it is often women who yearn for the noisy world outside.

The criss-crossing lakeside stretches long. The lakeside grows in clusters, and the reeds where yellow and green meet are like a vast and endless sea of forests. The metasequoia forest, which has been dyed reddish-brown, is also lined up like a row of well-trained guards. The entire picture is stacked layer upon layer to form a vast, long, narrow and streamlined posture.

Yellow stalks, yellow leaves, and long catkins standing on the branches make the reeds more mature and strong.

The lake water is so clear and quiet, and the colorful changes on the shore. There are no people or factories on the shore, only wild ducks. The sound of wild birds occasionally gliding across the water makes my heart stir.

A stone tablet on the dam deep into the lake reveals the identity of this place-Chishan Lake National Water Conservancy Scenic Area. This is the south bank of the Yangtze River and the upper reaches of Qinhuai. It is a rare water network area in Jurong. It is also an important source and water conservancy cultural node of Baili Qinhuai.

A row of weeping willows lives around the land

The breeze blows over the willows, and the willow branches spread out and touch the water, just like beautiful girls playing by the water.

There is a yellow and green lake and a five-star red flag fluttering in the wind among the yellow and green reeds, which is particularly bright in the main color of autumn.

The gravel path took us through the wilderness. The autumn scenery in the wilderness is half desolate and half vibrant in this picture.

There is still greenery beside the lake on one side of the path.

The tall reeds have become a hard "city wall", a "Great Wall" to defend the lake and sea, and a scenic line by the lake.

On the other side of the path, there are large areas of yellow thatched grass like grassland, dotted with red fir trees and occasional green leaves. It is a peaceful and beautiful scenery.

Near the lake is a land of algae swamps. It is soft and moist when you step on it.

From this side of the lake, we can see the dam deep into the lake where we have just wandered.

In order to get closer to the lake, we continued to walk on the trail. In the mountains and forests, the most exciting thing is the trees. They seem to know that they will put on new clothes the next year and "parachute" pieces of yellow-green, red, and even dried leaves onto the earth, allowing them to be baptized by the soil. But they are also like children. Some of them change their clothes early, and some of them are slow-tempered still wear green clothes in summer. As a result, the earth has become a colorful coat. Stepping on the leaves under my feet, the rustling footsteps sound like a leisurely order.

The child was carrying dry food and looked troubled. Well, let's set up camp, settle the dry food we brought with us, and then pack lightly!
We didn't return to the main road, but just found a slightly flat place on the trail and set up camp. Pretty rich, huh? I brought a coffee press so you can have a warm cup of coffee directly in the suburbs. With cake, I feel good.

After the meal, we climbed the main road on the hill. Facts have proved that the path continued to stretch and did not open for a while, so it was still necessary to return to the hills.

Looking up, dense reeds covered the sky, and wisps of sunlight poured out through the gaps.

Walking on the regular road of the park, it feels like a smooth land on the asphalt road? The fir trees in autumn are like a large red brocade, like a red flame lighting a corner.

The road signs with green and white characters are very eye-catching against the autumn background.

Yellow reed grass in autumn is like grassland

Two weeping willows on the grassland are still waving their green sleeves.

The reeds are heading, and an autumn wind blows. The lush reeds sway with the wind, and the waves of reed flowers roll, making it a sea of reeds.

The plump ears of reeds are fluffy, pine trees and white flowers. The breeze suddenly rises, the slender reed poles sway in the wind, and the reed lint flies leisurely in the sky with the wind, performing the intoxicating "reed flowers and flying snow" on the bank of Chishan Lake.

The trails of Chishan Lake are unique and rich in colors, including magenta, lake blue, and grass green. They echo the mountains and lakes, set off against green trees and yellow reeds, and integrate with the natural landscape.

There are also paintings spread over the autumn colors of the earth.

In such a picture, you can ride or stroll, enjoying either blue, rippling waves, or green, green reflecting the water, enjoying a panoramic view of the lakes and mountains, and enjoying the spreading autumn scenery.

The area of ten thousand poles of cultivated bamboos is green all year round.

Walking into the green bamboo forest, breathe the air with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, the breeze blows, and listen to the rustling of green bamboo.

Low red maples dot the desolate wilderness, making it extremely beautiful.

The lush trees, withered vines, birds, and red leaves dyed the autumn colors red. The journey was so beautiful and fresh, and the singing of birds across the sky could be heard everywhere.

This is not a lively tourist attraction, it is so quiet, and we are the only ones on the front and back trails. Only the sound of mountains and forests can be heard here, and the sound of birds chirping can be heard carefully like the sound of a light orchestra playing.

There are several clusters of bright yellow wrapped in a green sea, like a ray of multicolored light rising in the sky.

Grass is drawn in spring, and wood is drawn in autumn. There is no sign of autumn fading at all, but there is a joy of maturity and prosperity.

Walking on the winding trail and looking at the lake, a protrusion aroused our great curiosity. What's that in the lake? Follow the trail quickly and want to get closer and see more clearly.

Follow the beautiful trail all the way to the East Lake Pier

The green leaves and leaves of the papaya reed look full of vitality.

Follow the stairs straight to the dock.

The dock is a wooden hydrophilic platform that allows us to be so close to the lake.

There are several thatched parasols on the platform for resting.

Sit here and see the vastness and tranquility of the lake. The Qinhuai River water flows through this mountain and water, giving birth to the prehistoric lake-ripe culture in the south of the Yangtze River. No wonder Chishan Lake is also known as the "No. 1 Lake in Qinhuai."

Looking at the building in the lake from the water-friendly platform, it is closer. After looking for a long time, I confirmed that it was a broken bridge. Why does the broken bridge stand in the middle of the lake? There is no way to come in front of the bridge, and there is no way to return behind the bridge. The bridge deck is full of green shades, mottled moss, and clusters of black hanging from the bridge. At this time, I can't wait to have a telescope that allows us to see clearly what it is? The children's eyes are better, telling us that the black masses on the bridge are birds. Oh, I suddenly realized that this was a man-made bird habitat. At this moment, there was a flapping sound, and a streamline was seen across the lake, breaking the tranquility of the water surface. In the blink of an eye, it flew to a stop on the broken bridge. The static bridge and the competing birds combine dynamic and static to form an interesting contrast.

The wetlands adjacent to the lake are also so rich in species.

Reality and reflection complement each other. If it weren't for the fish swimming in the water, it would really be difficult to distinguish between reality and reality.

The sun recedes in the afternoon, and the Chishan Lake, which lacks sunlight, is an elegant picture.

Leave the lake and follow the steps and continue back on the trail

A slender ginkgo tree is so lonely and self-reliant.

The rice field on one side has been harvested, leaving traces. Even this simple trace is so beautiful in my eyes. Sometimes life is really simple, with beauty in the heart and beauty in the eyes.

We walked along the trail until we reached the northeast corner of the lake, and looked at the broken bridge from this angle. The sun, which was gentle in the morning, had long disappeared. If the sun is good, the sunset here will be extremely beautiful.

The reed swamps on the river bank embrace the broad lake. The stems and leaves are submerged in the lake, and the huge soft reed flowers bloom unscrupulously.

In fact, due to walking today, we decided not to continue in terms of time and physical fitness, and returned the same way. In fact, you can continue to visit the east side of the lake along the trail and along the lake. Leave this plan to next spring! Beautiful places are worth appreciating again and again.

Returning the same way, I saw a different scenery in my eyes

In the forest, every grass and every leaf add a touch of color to the autumn mountains and forests.

There are endless reeds growing in the fields. They are tall or short, swaying in the wind and graceful, showing a strong vitality.

The small train waiting quietly in the jungle is so consistent with the artistic conception of the forest.

At this time, a small train full of tourists appeared. At first glance, we were a little happy. We saw groups of tourists in the park for the first time in a few hours. The tranquility was suddenly broken and gave rise to life. A sense of normalcy.

Panorama of Chishan Lake

Arriving at the bridge again, I saw this forest again. Metasequoia is known as the "living fossil" of the botanical world. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, it stands tall and tough. The best and most beautiful season for metasequoia is now, with the forest stained with frost red.

The colors are strong and graceful, and the strong colors win with their majestic momentum. Embellished with unknown leaves alternating with yellow and green, it is peaceful yet gorgeous.

With a broad vision, walk towards the bridge with your head held high and towards tomorrow.

Open view on the bridge deck. The grass and trees are in autumn. The reeds living near the water are lined up like a city wall, and the lush and colorful metasequoia forests are quietly accompanied. Chishan Lake lies around the mountains, with mountains and rivers interdependent, and it is appropriate to move quietly, presenting a beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers embracing each other.

There are no rows of high-rise buildings here, few modern industrialized industrial facilities, and some are surrounded by scattered villages, rivers and lakes. Various wetland types such as herb swamps, fish ponds, and rice fields give birth to the rich natural wetland vegetation here.

Natural vegetation attracts fish and birds to grow together. Chishan Lake has become the largest habitat for migratory birds around Nanjing, with more than 290 species of birds wintering every year. It is also a transit point for the giant swan during the winter.

The drivers are all walking unwilling to be lonely

In the autumn of Chishan Lake, I deeply remember you

A large open space on the parking field has become a grain drying ground, and now mechanical trucks are used to dry the grain.

Second stop:

Longtan Railway Station

History: Built in 1908

Address: Duizishan Street, Qixia District, Nanjing City

Everyone felt that the day's gathering was not too enjoyable, so they thought of finding another stop to have fun and leaving after dinner. So the child chose to go to Longtan Station, and we set out. Nearly fifty kilometers halfway through the road, the sky was dark and heavy rain suddenly fell. During this trip, I have to take a Western Main Line. This is my first time walking this road. It feels super good to drive on beautiful roads. Follow the navigation and park in the parking lot in front of Longtan Station. In a two-story station building, the name of the small station is marked with the words "Longtan Station" on the small canopy of the station building. Although the station is small, its history has different responses. Longtan Station is located at the middle end of the Shanghai-Nanjing Line. The entire Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was opened to traffic on April 1, 1908 (34th year of Guangxu). At that time, the total length of the line was 311 kilometers. From Shanghai North Railway Station to Nanjing Xiaguan Station, there were 37 stations along the way. Longtan Station was completed and belonged to the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Management Bureau. In 1928, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was renamed the "Beijing-Shanghai Railway." This was because after the National Government completed the Northern Expedition, Nanjing City was the capital of China, hence the name "Beijing-Shanghai Railway." In April and May 1949, Nanjing and Shanghai were liberated one after another. On July 1 of the same year, the direct passenger train from Shanghai to Peiping, which had been suspended for 12 years, resumed operation. Because Longtan Town has many industrial and mining enterprises and Yangtze River terminals in the territory due to its natural resources, the passenger and cargo business of Longtan Station has always been relatively busy. There are many direct express trains stopping at Longtan Station, which is an important passenger and freight transfer station on the Shanghai-Nanjing line. Today, with the successive speed increases of railways and the completion and opening of the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway, Longtan Station has terminated its passenger transport business.

All channels are closed, making it impossible to enter the platform to see what's going on. He put the camera lens into a gap and photographed the scene in the station.

It was found that there was a staircase in the station building that led to the second floor. The bathroom on the second floor faced north, allowing you to see the inside of the station.

Now at Longtan Station, the platform is empty, and a freight train is quietly waiting on the rails.

Leave the station building and stroll around the square in front of the station. A blue-gray brick building is a Republican building at Longtan Railway Station.

Former family area housing

The once elegant and prosperous railway station has gradually been defeated to what it is today due to the development of the times.

The tall water tower still holds its proud figure.

The station hotel on one side of the station square is one of the standard features of the station.

Looking again, there were once people coming and going, and the bustling station has faded away with the passage of time. The station in the wind and rain quietly tells the story of the past. Here are many people's memories. This is also a must-have journey to chase an ironman.

A happy end to a weekend, let's get together next time!
