Camping: Navigate to "Biyuxie", where there are coffee and food for sale, as well as local fruits. 2. Redwood Forest: Walk north along the main road from Biyuxie, cross the bridge (there is a walkway on the bridge), and you can see the entire redwood forest from the bridge. After crossing the bridge, you can also take a picture of the empty bridge, which is also quite nice. 3. Sunset over Taihu Lake: You can just watch it at Biyuxie, a great place for photos! It is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before the sunset time on the weather app. 🕐Duration If you don't camp, 2 hours is enough for the redwood forest and sunset. 🚗How to get there Self-driving, navigate to Xishan "Biyuxie", there are parking spaces along the road. ⏰Recommended time It is recommended to arrive at 15:30, as the sunset is more photogenic! ☆☆Other questions ⛺️Camping: Biyuxie is not a large camping site, but you can set up a small tent, and many people bring their pets. 🔛Route: The redwood forest is not accessible, but it is said to be under development as a scenic area, so hurry up while it's free.
