📍Must-visit photo spots at Tiger Hill
1⃣️ Yunyan Temple Pagoda: China's first leaning tower, the close-up architecture is perfect for shooting classical-style photos, especially stunning in autumn with ginkgo trees! The golden leaves paired with the blue bricks make every shot wallpaper-worthy.

2⃣️ Sword Pool: The legendary burial site of King Helü's sword, the pool reflects the ancient buildings, and with good lighting, you can capture beautifully symmetrical compositions.

3⃣️ Thousand-People Stone: A huge flat stone slab; sitting here and shooting upward can capture the full view of Yunyan Temple Pagoda. Wearing Hanfu for photos here feels especially authentic.

4⃣️ Zhishuang Pavilion: The view of green leaves through ancient-style windows is right here! The framed composition is especially photogenic. It’s recommended to shoot around 9 a.m. when the light is softest.

⏰ Best shooting times:
Recommended from 8-10 a.m. or 3-5 p.m., when the slanting light creates beautiful shadows on the buildings. In summer, if you want to shoot night scenes, catch the blue hour at dusk.
