Spot wildlife like squirrels and woodpeckers. Don’t miss the historic "Shaoqi" forest train (dating back to 1953). 🍽️ Lunch: Forest delicacies at Wuying Grand Hotel (braised chicken with hedgehog mushrooms, stir-fried eggs with Siberian ginseng). 👍 Afternoon: Jinshan Deer Park Get up close with sika deer, feed them corn, and capture dreamy forest scenes straight out of a Miyazaki film.
