After taking my daughter to shoot "Past and Present Lives"～

👨‍👩‍👧 A must-visit for family photos in Hangzhou! The ancient-style journey of past and present lives is absolutely amazing✨

Taking advantage of the weekend, I brought my daughter to Hangzhou to shoot a set of ancient-style family photos that transcend time and space. We were truly captivated by the beautiful scenery and atmosphere here! Sharing our super fairy-like itinerary～

Day 1: 【Classic Ancient Style Locations】
📍Jiuxi Smoke Trees (Jiuxi Road, Xihu District)
Recommended to come early morning or evening; the morning mist makes it feel like a fairyland! You can prepare a light-colored Hanfu for the kids; running along the forest paths makes for great shots🍃
Opening hours: Open all day
📍Hu Xueyan Former Residence (18 Yuanbao Street, Shangcheng District)
A super exquisite Jiangnan garden, recommended to wear dark-colored qipao or Ming-style Hanfu. The red walls and black tiles instantly transport you to the Qing Dynasty.
Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 (last entry at 16:30)

Day 2: 【Dreamy Water Town Photos】
📍Xixi Wetland · Hongyuan (Longshezui, Wuchang Avenue, Yuhang District)
Taking photos on a punt boat is truly amazing! Recommended to choose pink-toned Hanfu. We rented a peach blossom-themed chest-high ruqun, which was super dreamy in the sea of flowers🌸
Opening hours: 7:30-18:30
📍Xiaohe Straight Street (Xiaohe Road, Gongshu District)
Lots of artsy shops + bluestone pavement. I styled my daughter with double buns, and the photos came out with an adorable Republic of China era vibe.
Opening hours: Open all day
