Guangxi's Stunning Hidden Gem! The Sapphire Skylight Only Photographers Know About

I'm truly speechless from the beauty of Hechi, Guangxi!!
Fewer people and beautiful scenery during the holiday, and I even accidentally discovered Jiuling Skylight.
It's like a real-life version of the "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" painting 🖼️
The moment I climbed to the top of the mountain, I was really shocked.
Right beneath my feet was a whole area of translucent blue "sapphires" 💎
Hechi is full of sea mustard flowers, like stars fallen into the water.
Sunlight hits the water surface, sparkling beautifully and unreal!!
💗The people here in Hechi are very simple and kind, and the homestay owners are great too. If you plan to visit, I can recommend some homestays that are cheap and clean 🈵

📍Location: Jiuling Skylight, Hechi, Guangxi
(Suggest self-driving, navigation is very accurate)

📸Real tested photo tips:
1️⃣ You definitely don’t need to climb to the mountain top‼️🤫 Photographers tell you 🤭 just climbing halfway to this viewing platform is enough! You can definitely get amazing shots for your life portfolio ✅ (Remember to save this⭐️)
The overhead shooting angle is the essence.
A wide-angle lens instantly captures the same style as "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains."
2️⃣ The light is softest from 9-11 AM (or 4-5 PM in the afternoon is also good)
✅ Sea mustard flowers glow under the sunlight
❌ Not recommended at noon ❌ Too harsh and no good photo effect ❌

3️⃣ Drone aerial shots are amazing.
The blue-green gradient looks like a spilled palette.
4️⃣ You can bring some ancient-style props,
Fans or cloaks make the photos more artistic.

💡Tips:
▪️ The hiking path is a bit steep, remember to wear non-slip shoes.
▪️ No shops nearby, bring your own water and snacks.
▪️ Protect the environment, don’t pick flowers or trample plants.
Only photographers specifically come here to find this spot.
I got bombarded with questions when posting on social media 👏
Everyone says it feels like discovering a paradise away from the world~
