Chongming's Winter Scenery is Like a Poem

In winter, Chongming loses some of its harshness and gains warmth and charm, hiding endless romance. Here, you can encounter enchanting sunsets, lively birds, drifting reed fluff, vibrant maple trees, towering dawn redwoods, and shimmering river waters, all dressed in their beautiful winter attire. In the early morning, a thin mist rises slowly like gauze, gently covering Chongming. The small town’s cooking smoke curls up, hazy and poetic, like a tranquil fairyland, breathtakingly beautiful. Winter is the best season for birdwatching in Chongming. Migratory birds arrive at Dongtan Wetland from afar; they forage, play, or skim over the water, injecting vibrant life into the wetland. Viewing the maples in winter is full of ritual; Chongming’s forests are dyed in layers of fiery red leaves. Walking among them, your thoughts are colored as well. In early winter, the dawn redwood forest is dyed russet by the cold wind, elegant and serene. Walking into the forest, you can have a conversation with nature. When the wind rises, the reeds ripple like waves; Chongming’s reed flowers look like snow, soft yet powerful. At sunset, Chongming’s evening glow is brilliant and gentle. Whether by the river, on the ridges, or along country paths, the beauty takes your breath away. This winter, come to Chongming and start a romantic winter journey to experience this unique beauty!
