Summer has attracted many tourists to a scenic “floating forest” lake in China to enjoy boat rides.
The Luyang Lake Wetland Park, located in Yangzhou city in Jiangsu, eastern China, possesses a unique forest with trees growing one-meter deep within the lake.

The trees, Metasequoia or dawn redwoods, were once thought to be extinct but were rediscovered later and described as a “living fossil”.

The semi-submerged trees within the lake create a tranquil atmosphere that makes tourists feel as if they are floating.

Tourists can enjoy the forest both by boat and on foot. Floating docks allow people to take a stroll along the forest and on the lake.

Although the scenery is very much green in the summertime, the forest transforms itself into a red and pink sea of trees in the winter and fall.
