📷|Photography & travel tips:
✨Currently, 80% of the poplars have turned yellow, a great time to visit soon
✨The poplars here are relatively "young," not the large, massive trees most people imagine, with uniquely shaped branches;
✨If you just want to enjoy the autumn scenery and have limited time like us, this place is a good choice, with lake views and reeds, perfect for autumn landscape and portrait shots;
✨The park is very large and offers various transportation options inside; bicycles can be rented at the entrance, which is great for shooting;
✨It’s recommended to arrive around 4 to 5 PM when the sunlight is softer; backlighting makes the leaves glow golden and translucent, while the front-lit leaves appear dull; near sunset, the entire poplar forest is bathed in a golden canopy, creating a full atmospheric vibe;
✨Wear colors like warm tones or white and other bright colors
