For this ancient and modern time-travel photo, I’m willing to come to Qingxiu Mountain 100 more times

Sisters! I was truly amazed by this magical photo spot 🥹
A 20 RMB ticket lets you shoot a blockbuster crossing ancient and modern times
A hidden gem spot only local photographers know about
The best part is, it’s totally effortless!! A must-go for lazy people!!

📍Exact location:
The viewing platform next to Guanyin Zen Temple on Qingxiu Mountain
(It’s NOT the Dragon Elephant Pagoda! It’s NOT the Dragon Elephant Pagoda!)
Take the sightseeing bus to "Guanyin Zen Temple Station" and get off
Walk 50 meters towards the river and you’ll see it

📸Shooting tips:
✔️Golden hour from 4-6 PM
✔️Use a telephoto lens to compress the sense of space (3x zoom on a phone works too)
✔️Frame the modern cityscape and ancient pagoda together
✔️On clear days, you can even capture the Tyndall effect!

💡Helpful tips:
▪️Wearing Hanfu, new Chinese style, or light-colored long dresses makes the photos stand out more
▪️There are railings at the edge of the platform, safety first
▪️Sightseeing bus costs 5 RMB per ride, recommended to save your energy
▪️After shooting, you can also pray for love at the Zen temple, it’s super effective ✨

I really can’t praise this viewpoint enough!!
Modern skyscrapers and Tang Dynasty ancient pagoda face each other across the distance
It feels like traveling through a thousand years in an instant
A stunning photo spot you can get with just a 20 RMB ticket
I won’t allow anyone to not know about this‼️
