Ladies! A stunning garden has just appeared near Dounan, Kunming, definitely the must-visit hidden gem of 2025! As soon as you enter, you'll be breathless from the vast field of 🌻 sunflowers, with sunlight shining over the golden sea of flowers—every snap looks like a cinematic cover! Walk through the green corridor and instantly fall into a 💙 blue secret realm—the same blue window frames as Monet’s garden paired with lively butterfly decorations. Sunlight filters through the glass onto vintage furniture, as if you've traveled back to a 19th-century European manor, filling you with the feeling of an oil painting girl! 📸 (Secret tip: there’s a hidden camera spot by the window, remember to wear a white French-style dress for photos!)
🌺【Top 3 Must-Photograph Highlights】🌺
1. Monet Blue Secret Realm: Blue window frames + vintage piano + butterfly specimen wall. The interplay of light and shadow instantly turns you into the star of an oil painting. Best to shoot after 3 PM when backlit hair glows!
2. Hydrangea Waterfall Sea: The backyard is a dreamy cascade of hydrangeas in pale purple, light pink, and white. Crouch down and use the flowers as foreground to capture the romantic feeling of being surrounded by a sea of flowers~
3. Fairy Corner: Mushroom lamps, vintage phone booth, wooden swing... every detail hides a surprise. Even the artificial flowers in the prop basket are carefully matched, perfect for forest-style photoshoots!
🍰【Afternoon Tea + Photo Package】🍰
The garden offers a super cost-effective double afternoon tea package (including 2.5 hours of free shooting). The dessert tower’s macarons and scones are petal-shaped, and the drink rims are sprinkled with edible gold foil✨! It’s recommended to choose a window seat to enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the garden panorama—pure bliss~ (Secretly: the package also unlocks professional photographer follow-shooting service, remember to book in advance!)
💡【Practical Tips】
1. Open from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. It’s best to enter after 2:00 PM to avoid harsh midday light; the backlight at dusk is super gentle!
2. There are quite a few mosquitoes, so bring mosquito repellent and floral water. Wearing a long dress can also help keep mosquitoes away~
3. The garden provides free fill lights and reflectors, so even phone users can shoot with DSLR quality!
