📷Photography tips
🌟Some of my favorite photo spots:
No flowers stepped on‼ ️😢There are stairs and paths leading to the flowers
✅Walk to the azalea garden, there are two large wooden platforms, stand on them and take pictures down, you can take a more complete picture of the flowers
✅There is a staircase next to the second wooden platform, with azaleas of various colors blooming on both sides. People standing on it can take photos with layers.
✅Walking in, there is a large area of rhododendrons in the shape of a crescent. The setting sun shines down in the afternoon, and the backlit photography is very healing.
✅There are some gravel paths and plank roads throughout the azalea area, and the flowers are also layered. Just find some good light as the background for taking photos.
🌟Some tips for playing:
■ It is still a bit far from Qiushan Street subway station to here. You need to walk up the hill after reaching the door, but it is not too tiring, about 10 minutes
■There are many colors and types of rhododendrons inside. It is recommended to wear a white long skirt and trousers, with a straw hat, sunglasses, and a handbag...
■It is now in full bloom and is expected to last for about 2 weeks. There will probably be a lot of people on weekends, so go early so that the light is better and the photos are more beautiful.
■There are not many restaurants around, you can bring your own snacks
■ Be sure to go early on weekends as there will be more people
I really want to see the flowers you took. Can you share them with me in the comment section?
