🌸 Highlights: Reasons not to miss

The river breeze adds a dreamy touch.

📸 Photo guide: Recommended scenes and shooting tips

Recommended spots

1. South slope of Flower Sea Valley: The undulating terrain and slanting afternoon light create distinct color layers, capturing the depth of the flower sea.
2. Riverside trail viewing platform: Using the railing for composition, you can include Pink Muhly Grass, the river surface, and the sky in one frame for a broad visual effect.
3. Intersection of colorful trails: The bright ground contrasts with the soft pink flower sea, ideal for natural walking or sitting shots.
4. Near the scenic pavilion: Use traditional architecture as a backdrop to outline portrait silhouettes or close-ups of flower spikes, adding a poetic atmosphere.

Shooting tips

· Timing: Early morning from 8-10 AM has fewer people and soft light; the half hour before sunset offers golden light, making the flower sea glow warm pink and gold—very photogenic.
· Outfit suggestions: Light-colored clothes such as white, khaki, or light blue create a soft contrast with the flower sea. Simple accessories enhance your style.
· Protect the plants: Do not step into planting areas. Use the park’s reserved paths and viewing platforms. Adjusting angles can still capture the feeling of being surrounded by flowers.
