Taiping Lake Forest Town has a particularly large sightseeing area, covering 42 square kilometers. The roads to the attractions are also quite far and tiring, so it is recommended to take the sightseeing bus back and forth. 4. The scenic area has two-person and four-person electric carts for rent. The advantage is that you can stop freely, go wherever you want, not get tired, and see a lot of scenery.

I stayed in Taiping Lake in Mile for a while I never thought that in just a few days, my tired soul was actually purified💕 🌤 Below the clouds 🌱 Above the lawn The wind-swinging Muxingju occupied the entire hill Looking around, the dull and boring heart is instantly healed by the sea of chrysanthemums 🌷 More than 100,000 tulips occupy the absolute good location Standing on the viewing platform, you can see the tulip sea, Princess Taiping and the lake group Approaching the tulips, you can easily take beautiful tourist photos📸 The high place is the romantic winter cherry blossom sea🌸 The ground is a pink carpet laid by small clusters of beautiful cherry blossoms Insect chirping, bird calling Blue sky, white clouds and breeze🌤 Regardless of the setting, meals or drinks The cherry blossom feast customized in advance by the restaurant is simply too romantic!✨ For such a scenic restaurant that can undertake high-end private custom banquets, I really can't help but love it!😚 And their log cabin villas are also very characteristic Single door and single yard Surrounded by firecrackers or winter cherry blossoms or unknown flowers and green plants In short, I feel like a little fairy living in a forest cabin in a fairy tale🧚‍♀ Comfortable, cozy and extremely free🍀 It is said that there will be a grand Tulip Carnival in the Spring Festival Park If everything is suitable I will definitely go to the appointment at that time~😘 to play during the Spring Festivalto play during the Spring Festivaldestinations for the Spring FestivalFestival vacationtourismtourMile Taiping LakeArtCarnivalFlower SeaTulipCherry BlossomMuxingjuTaiping Lake Mountain Desertification ParkVacation HotelHotel RecommendationTaiping Lake Log Cabin HotelTaiping Lake International Ecotourism ResortGood Place to Take Picturesvery filmic hereplace I yearn for
