Here, nature is undergoing a color revolution: ▪️2km of swaying silver reed plumes (2.3m tall handsome boys!) ▪️3000+ bald cypress trees collectively changing outfits (ochre red → golden brown → rusty copper three-color gradient) ▪️Abandoned railway tracks transform into a "time tunnel" (glowing little surprises hidden among the rust) 【High Cuteness Alert】 Watch out for 187 wild squirrels!

When a pine needle falls on your shoulder, you'll suddenly understand: True healing is learning to bend like a reed, to focus on the present like a squirrel, and to embrace the traces of time like railway tracks.
