✅ Shuyu Spring: The water is crystal clear; here you can capture little fish beneath the surface. Next to the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall is the Poetry Spring, where water flows over stone steps with a tinkling sound, as if reciting poetry—so atmospheric. Low-angle shots capture beautiful reflections.
✅ Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall: The hall is full of an elegant ancient vibe. Wearing Hanfu for photos feels like traveling back in time to the poet’s era—every shot looks like a classical masterpiece.
✅ Guanlan Pavilion: From the pavilion, you can shoot a panoramic view of the spring pool, with pavilions, clear water, and koi fish all in sight, creating a layered composition.
✅ Wanzhu Garden: The "garden within a garden," famous for its wood, stone, and brick carvings—the "three wonders." The corridors and green bamboo are perfect for photos. Strolling here and capturing relaxed moments makes for amazing shots.

💡Photo tips:
Wear light-colored clothes or Hanfu to blend into the classical atmosphere. Morning light is soft and perfect for portraits. Use the sparkling spring water as a natural filter to enhance the mood.
