A Hidden Photo Spot Under the Green Shadow Wall

Travel back 600 years! A complete guide to the Green Shadow Wall at Xiangwang Mansion, one of China's Four Great Dragon Walls 🌧️

The last glory of the Ming Dynasty! The only remaining cultural relic at Xiangwang Mansion, the Green Shadow Wall, is truly stunning!
Moss climbs over the stone-carved dragon scales in the rain, as if transporting you back to the Ming Dynasty!

📍Address: No. 8 Qujing Alley, Xiangcheng District, Xiangyang City
🕰️Opening Hours: Daily 08:30-17:30 (Closed on Mondays)
🎫Tickets: 25 RMB (Half price with student ID)

📸Must-shoot spots:
1️⃣Full view of the Dragon Wall: Stand 5 meters away to capture the entire wall; moss looks even more weathered on rainy days
2️⃣Close-up of Dragon Scales: Get close to shoot the mottled stone carvings; rain makes the scale patterns clearer

🚗Transportation Tips:
1️⃣Bus: Take routes 1/6/14 to "Xiangcheng Cinema" stop, then walk 500 meters
2️⃣Self-drive: Navigate to "Xiangwang Mansion Green Shadow Wall"; paid parking nearby

⚠️Travel Tips:
1️⃣Choose rainy or overcast days! The moss and stone dragons feel more historically rich
2️⃣Combine with a visit to Tangcheng Film Base, only 3 kilometers away
3️⃣Bring a wide-angle lens! The Dragon Wall is 20 meters long and hard to capture fully

🐉Hidden Easter Egg:
Look closely and you'll find bullet marks from wartime on the Dragon Wall! Each scar tells a story of history...
