Li Ling photo map revealed! These stunning spots are a must-save 📸

When you come to Li Ling, be sure to spend a whole day shooting—every corner of this small town is a surprise✨ Especially the "One River, Two Banks" scenic area, where every snap looks like a masterpiece; even a 9-grid on social media isn’t enough!

1️⃣ Binhe Road Riverside Promenade
📍Navigation: Binhe Road Walkway
Start your riverside stroll from Lujing Painting Academy. Whether it’s the golden river surface at sunrise or the breathtaking reflections at sunset, you’ll capture amazing photos. The best spot is near Rainbow Bridge, where you can shoot both the bridge and the distant Xianyue Mountain.

2️⃣ Lilingmen Ancient City Area
📍Navigation: Lilingmen
The sunlight before 8 a.m. is perfect for checking in at the ancient city gate. The red walls, blue tiles, and lanterns create a charming atmosphere. We recommend the side alley by the gate, where light filtering through the eaves creates a great mood!

3️⃣ Ceramic Museum Viewing Platform
📍Navigation: China Ceramic Valley, 3rd Floor Rooftop
Head up around 5 p.m. to overlook the city’s sunset panorama. Don’t forget your telephoto lens to capture the magnificent view of the Lujing River winding through the city~

4️⃣ Zhuangyuanzhou Island Loop Trail
📍Navigation: Zhuangyuanzhou Cultural Park
This river island is surrounded by water, with ginkgo and dawn redwood forests along the way serving as top-notch backdrops. The best spot is the west bank viewing platform, where you can frame both the Ceramic Museum and the river view in one shot.

5️⃣ Xianshan Park Observation Tower
📍Navigation: Xianshan Park Hiking Trail
It takes about 40 minutes to reach the summit. The 360-degree unobstructed view from the tower is definitely the best spot for cityscape photography. We suggest going early morning or after rain for a chance to capture a sea of clouds~

Photo Tips:
✔️Choose solid colors for clothing, avoid busy patterns
