【目的地介绍｜About the Destination】

本次徒步目的地为苏州翡翠湖，位于苏州树山、大阳山片区。

大阳山国家森林公园山势绵延，主峰箭阙峰海拔 338.2 米，周边分布着山林、古寺、岩壁、泉水与自然步道，是苏州近郊非常适合周末徒步的区域。

翡翠湖位于树山青峰村一带，属于阳山矿坑区域。由于过去的工业开采，矿坑积水后形成湖泊，湖水中含有矿石物质。晴天时，阳光折射会让湖面呈现出浓郁的蓝绿色调，因此被称为“翡翠湖”。

Our hiking destination is Emerald Lake in Suzhou, located around the Shushan and Dayang Mountain area.

Dayang Mountain National Forest Park is known for its rolling hills, forest trails, rocky landscapes, springs, and historic temples. Its main peak, Jianque Peak, reaches 338.2 meters above sea level, making it a suitable weekend hiking destination near Shanghai.

Emerald Lake is located near Qingfeng Village in Shushan. It was formed in a former quarry area, where mineral-rich water accumulated over time. Under sunlight, the lake often appears in a vivid blue-green color, which is why it is known as “Emerald Lake.”
