Today I went to the Totoro Sea of Grass in Gaochun District, Nanjing City. This sea of grass covers an area of 3 million square meters and is very beautiful. I also saw the "sea train". The high-speed rail passes through the 12-kilometer-long Shijiu Lake.

Travel Guides & Tips in this video

Emily travels to Gaochun District in Nanjing to see the real-life Totoro Grass Sea, a landscape covering 3 million square meters. The journey crosses the 12-kilometer Shijiu Lake Bridge, where she talks with a crab seller and hears about the lake's crabs and their price. Traffic delays give her more time to take in the scenery, and she rides the metro across the lake, though the view is less striking than she expected in winter. At the grass sea, she observes villagers washing clothes and drying vegetables, buys sausages and sugarcane at a local shop, and asks about lodging. A hot pot dinner ends her day of rural exploration.

Crossing Shijiu Lake and reaching the grass sea

Emily travels to Gaochun District in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, to visit the real-life Totoro Grass Sea. Her route includes the 12-kilometer bridge over Shijiu Lake. Along the way, she meets a local crab seller, asks about the lake's famous crustaceans and discusses their price. She then encounters a traffic jam. Although it delays her, the pause gives her time to enjoy the scenery around the lake.

Emily also rides the metro across the lake. She says the view is not as beautiful as she expected, perhaps because it is winter. The subway ride is part of her plan to reach the grass sea, though the experience is less scenic than she had hoped. When she reaches the Totoro Grass Sea, she sees a broad green landscape covering 3 million square meters. The site lives up to its reputation, and the change from bridge, traffic and metro travel to the open grassland becomes a central part of her visit.

Village life, food, and a place to stay

The visit includes scenes of local daily life. Emily sees villagers washing clothes and drying vegetables in the sun, then stops at a local convenience store, where she talks with residents and buys sausages and sugarcane. When she looks for lodging, a local person directs her to Shatang Temple or Luoshan, where places to stay are available. Her route includes unplanned exchanges as well as the landscape she came to see.

Emily finishes the day with hot pot, choosing tomato and spicy flavors with beef, pork and vegetables. The trip combines a long bridge, the metro, a rural grassland, a village shop and a meal. She shares her reactions to each part, including the traffic jam and the winter view from the subway. The video offers a personal account of how an unplanned delay can leave more time for looking around and how local conversations can help with food and accommodation.
