Recommended spots: Summit viewing platform, Dianjiang Terrace, Yixiantian (One Line Sky)
Best time: 1 hour before sunrise
Tips: Check the weather forecast in advance ➡️ After rain with visibility over 80%, you’re very likely to encounter the sea of clouds the next day! Bring a tripod for time-lapse shots, and a telephoto lens to capture the layers of rolling clouds~

🍁 Maple Leaf Theme
1. Maple Forest Ancient Path: Spectacular red leaves lining both sides! Wearing Hanfu here gives a great vibe~ Use leading lines for composition.
2. Mid-mountain: Fallen leaves cover the stone path, the "rustling" sound is so pleasant! Low-angle upward shots or macro shots of leaf textures are fantastic.
3. Pro tip: Side backlighting between 9-11 AM or 3-5 PM makes the maple leaves glow✨

🏰 Ancient City Ruins
1. Ancient Barracks Ruins: Weathered city walls + brilliant autumn leaves = perfect match! Use framing composition to shoot autumn colors through wall holes.
2. Pro tip: Shoot details of historic buildings for better shots, like fallen leaves on stone steps🍂

🌊 Lake and Mountain Scenery
Best spot: Huanlong Lake (15-minute walk downhill)
Best time: 4-6 PM
Must-shoot angle: Symmetrical reflections from the boat! The sunset glow is super dreamy.
