Shuilioudong Tung Flower Trail Introduction
The Shui Li Dong Tung Flower Trail, located in Wapao District, stretches 2.4 km long. Formerly known as the Shui Li Dong Lover's Path, it was renamed Tung Flower Trail in 2009. Local residents have planted Tung flowers along both sides of the irrigation canal, creating a stunning "Tung flower snow" spectacle every year from April to May. Shui Li Dong used to be an irrigation channel, where water generally flows westward, but this channel rises from west to east. It overlooks vineyards and tomato gardens, and there is a high-speed rail viewing platform next to the Tung Flower Trail, which is the closest viewing platform to the high-speed rail. With the help of the displayed timetable, visitors can watch the speeding trains go by. The trail is suitable for walking and biking and is a local secret route for residents of Wapao. Visit the Tung Flower Trail in Yongfeng Village, and follow the water channel along the trail, passing rice fields and orchards. The canal angles towards a slope known as "Shui Chong Qi," with a height difference of about ten stories. During periods of heavy flow, the water rushes down with great force, creating a spectacular sight. In the summer heat, the trail offers a refreshing escape. When you arrive here, it's recommended to slow down and let your pace align with the natural essence of the farmlands, listening to the sounds of insects and birds. Enjoy the view of the speeding high-speed rail and the patchwork of farmlands from a corner of the trail. Of course, you can bring food and choose a high spot for a picnic with family and friends, enjoying a leisurely time.
