Shunan Bamboo Sea transforms into a fairy tale world in autumn! This bamboo forest secret spot is unbelievably beautiful

While the northern forests turn vibrant with autumn colors, Shunan Bamboo Sea maintains its unique emerald green. As the autumn breeze blows, waves of green ripple across the vast bamboo sea, rustling softly like nature’s symphony. Sunlight filters through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of bamboo. This is the real-life filming location of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

🚶 Perfect one-day tour route
Morning: Enter through the West Gate and head straight to Guanhai Tower, the highest point where you can overlook the entire bamboo sea panorama. Then walk along the Emerald Corridor, where the swaying bamboo shadows make it an excellent spot for photos.
Noon: Dine at a farmhouse deep within the bamboo sea and enjoy a full bamboo feast featuring tender bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus eggs—delicacies you won’t find in the city.
Afternoon: Visit scenic spots like Xianyu Cave and Tianbao Village to experience the perfect blend of Danxia landforms and the bamboo sea. If time allows, take a bamboo raft ride on the Sea within the Sea for a poetic experience of "a boat sailing through a painting."
