At the beginning of the new year, Taxodium Distichum along Liwan Lake and Dasha River in Liwan District of Guangzhou presents a spectacular "giant oil painting" effect, conveying new year's greetings to residents. These trees have quietly turned a brilliant shade of red.
The sunlight filters through the feather-like leaves of the cypress trees, casting shimmering rays of light onto the water, creating a dazzling spectacle.
As the temperatures drop, the cypress trees change colors at a rapid pace. The entire process of discoloration for this forest can last for over a month.
At present, some trees have already turned completely red, while others are just beginning to change. Along the water's edge, green, yellow, and red leaves create a rich and vibrant tapestry of colors.
Before long, the cypress trees will present the most beautiful scenery of the year. We should seize the opportunity to capture this amazing natural spectacle!
