Who would have thought? Spent three days exploring the High-Tech Zone in Fuzhou, and my phone's photo album is now bursting with pictures—golden light from ancient temples, sunsets by the lake while camping, and the smoky charm of riverside BBQs. The best part? It's not crowded at all, and every shot looks like a movie still!
First Stop: Qishan Ten Thousand Buddha Temple | A Paradise for Ancient Style Enthusiasts
"The moment you step through the mountain gate, pigeons flutter up from under the 'Bu Er Men' archway, sunlight filters through the eaves onto the green bricks, and the hem of your Hanfu dress flutters perfectly in the breeze."
📸 Must-Capture Spots:
① Mountain Gate Archway: Crouch on the stone steps and shoot upwards, capturing the moment the pigeons take flight (best before 9 AM when the pigeons are most cooperative).
② Release Pond on Guanyin Island: Stand in the middle of the wooden walkway, lower your camera to capture the koi fish and their reflections. Wearing light-colored Hanfu makes the photos even more stunning.
③ Corridor of the Mahavira Hall: Stand sideways against the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" relief, raise your hand to touch the column, and immerse yourself in the ancient atmosphere.
🌊 Second Stop: Qishan Lake Park | Turn Your Day into a Healing Vlog
"At 4 PM by the lake, set up a tent on the lawn, watch the rainbow roller coaster pass by your lens, and see the carousel glowing in the distance—it feels like stepping into a Hayao Miyazaki summer."
📸 Photo Tips:
① Sunset Camping Area: Lay out a checkered picnic blanket, hold up a cold drink while watching the sunset, and have a friend take a side-back shot (use flash for backlit shots!).
② Amusement Park Entrance: Stand directly in front of the carousel, wait for it to light up, and twirl in a white dress for a candid shot.
③ Lakeside Boardwalk: Rent a tandem bike, have your friend ride in front while you sit on the back seat and look back with a smile—the wind will blow your hair beautifully.
💰 Cost: Camping is free! Amusement rides cost 20-30 RMB per ride, making it super affordable.
🌌 Third Stop: Shili Jiangwan Camping Ground | The Ultimate Cozy Vibes
"The evening river breeze carries a coolness, the BBQ grill sizzles with oil, and your friend holds up a skewer against the sunset for a peace sign. Every casual shot feels like a slice-of-life masterpiece."
📸 Atmosphere Tips:
① Tent Area: Hang string lights, sit on a folding chair with a drink in hand, and have the gradient pink-purple sky as your backdrop (sunset between 6-7 PM is the best).
② Riverside Boardwalk: Stand with your back to the river, and have a friend take a low-angle silhouette shot. The dynamic flow of your skirt in the wind is stunning.
③ Paddleboard Enthusiasts: Borrow a paddleboard from a passerby and capture a shot of "a person on the board with the sunset in the background"—it looks like you're on a tropical island!
❗️Pro Tip: Visit after 4 PM to avoid the scorching sun. Food delivery can be sent directly to the entrance, so you can order anything you need conveniently.
