🌺🌺🌺Jacaranda photo spots summary❗❗❗
1⃣️Hangtian North Road
This is a popular place to see Jacaranda! The Jacaranda trees are tall, and the street is not wide, making it particularly suitable for taking photos. However, there are also a lot of tourists! And drones are not allowed on Hangtian North Road.
2⃣️Jianchang Road (near Jianchang Pavilion Archway)
The Jacaranda on this street blooms very well, which is very suitable for taking citywalk fresh style photos. There are stairs at the archway that you can go up, which is the only place where you can overlook the Jacaranda street scene without a drone. It is very suitable for taking pictures of people, cars, and flowers in the same frame.
3⃣️Chuangye Chuangxin Road
The Jacaranda on this street is extremely lush, and it is relatively niche, not many tourists know about it. Drones are allowed on this street, so aerial shots of the Jacaranda street scene are the best!
4⃣️Wenhui East Road
There are several large Jacaranda trees at both ends of this street. Drones are allowed, and the street is narrow, making it easy to capture empty and clean street scenes.
5⃣️Hangtian Avenue Section 3 (the bridge next to the Holiday Inn Express)
This spot is very niche. The Jacaranda tree next to the bridge blooms extremely well. Due to the height of the bridge being just right at the flower's position, it is suitable for taking portraits. The afterglow of the setting sun shines here from 5 - 6pm, creating an excellent lighting effect!
📝Golden sentence for this scene:
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection!"
