I captured the anime summer of Hayao Miyazaki in Liling City, it's so beautiful

Here comes the Liling Hayao Miyazaki-style summer check-in guide! This hidden photo spot is truly amazing, every shot looks like a Japanese anime scene, making you the ultimate like collector on social media🏖️

📸 Must-visit spots:
📍 Lujiang Academy: The blue bricks and black tiles against the blue sky and white clouds make you feel like you've stepped into the world of "Spirited Away." Remember to take silhouette photos under the arched gate!
📍 Xianyue Mountain: The windmill group at the top is like a natural photo studio. Run around in a light-colored dress and capture moments to instantly get the healing vibe of "My Neighbor Totoro."
📍 Cigu Tea Mountain: The rolling tea fields look as refreshing as matcha cake. The light at 4 PM is perfect for taking tea garden photos like in "The Wind Rises."
📍 Liling Gate: The combination of ancient city walls and yellow trams is super photogenic! Wearing a JK uniform for a Japanese school photo shoot is highly recommended.

🍵 Food surprises:
✅ "Time Cottage" café by the Lujiang River: The second-floor terrace offers stunning river views, and their Liling porcelain cup latte looks amazing.
✅ A glutinous rice cake stall found by chance on the old street: 3 yuan each, freshly made by the auntie, adding a touch of local life to your photos.
✅ Recommended to try Liling stir-fried pork at "Wanmi Alley," authentic Hunan flavor served in vintage enamel bowls, perfect for photos.

💡 Useful tips:
1️⃣ Best shooting times are 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM when the light is soft and not harsh.
2️⃣ Bring plenty of light-colored clothes to match the green background (yellow/white/light blue all work).
3️⃣ Prepare mosquito repellent! There are quite a few mosquitoes on the tea garden slopes.
4️⃣ Renting a car at Zhuzhou High-Speed Rail Station nearby is the most convenient; parking fees at most spots are around 5-10 yuan.
