Urban secret, stepping into Monet's summer painting frame

🌿【Escape the hustle and bustle, enter a green wonderland】 Who says Xiamen is only about Gulangyu Island and beaches? Hidden by Huandao Road is "Shangli Reservoir Park," like a quietly reserved breathing space in the city— vast blue waves ripple with mountain reflections, winding paths cross large lawns, ancient dams intertwine with tropical plants, as if stepping into a Monet oil painting in an instant. 📸【Photo Guide】 ➊ Lakeside dam top: Stand on the century-old German-style dam with green mountains and clear water as the backdrop, full of cinematic vibes. ➋ Spiral staircase: Shoot from above the spiral stairs and distant bougainvillea, a poetic collision of geometry and nature. ➌ Waterfront boardwalk: Light filtering through the trees around 3 to 4 PM creates dappled shadows, a natural filter. ➍ Agave cluster: Enter a giant plant group and instantly capture shots like an alien secret realm. A treasure travel spot worth visiting again and again.
