Sunny day check-in guide for new Chinese-style light and shadow photography in Suzhou autumn.

Taking photos in Suzhou on a sunny day is truly stunning! Especially at Tiger Hill Scenic Area, where Chinese architecture and ginkgo trees complement each other beautifully—every shot looks like a masterpiece 📸

Recommended photo spots at Tiger Hill:
✨ Yunyan Temple Pagoda: The perfect combination of the white brick pagoda and ginkgo trees, with sunlight filtering through the leaves casting dappled shadows on the pagoda, creating a scene of harmony between heaven and man.
✨ Sword Pool: The arch bridge and courtyard blend perfectly, and on sunny days, the pool reflects the blue sky and white clouds, allowing for breathtaking symmetrical compositions.
✨ Wanjing Villa: A modern garden architectural complex with large white walls ideal for minimalist style photography; the tree shadows cast by the sunlight serve as the best filter.
✨ Cishou Pagoda: The best angle for distant shots, capturing ginkgo trees, the ancient pagoda, and the city skyline in the background simultaneously.

📌 Practical information:
Address: No. 8, inside the gate of Tiger Hill, Gusu District
Ticket price: 70 RMB (definitely worth the price)
Best shooting times:
- November ginkgo season (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM for the best light)
- Avoid holidays for fewer crowds and better shots
- The hour before sunset offers the softest light

👗 Outfit suggestions:
It is recommended to wear light or warm-toned clothes to create a gentle contrast with the blue bricks and white walls. During ginkgo season, caramel tones work great and create a super atmospheric vibe!
