"The night in Qiyun Town is a flowing poem of fireworks
When the moonlight gilds the Huizhou-style horse-head walls with silver edges
I finally understand what 'the most passionate place in life' means" 🌙

🌙【Night View Highlights Check-in Route】
1️⃣ Xiaguang Road Floating Cloud Terrace (17:30-18:50)
Recommended to arrive before sunset to watch the warm yellow light flowing between white walls and black tiles. The moment the stepped buildings light up is super dreamy (lighting time varies by season).
2️⃣ Hengjiang Moon Reflection Corridor (19:00-19:40)
A must-shoot! The lanterns on the covered bridge and their reflections in the water create symmetrical aesthetics. Bring a fill light and wear Hanfu to stand at the bridgehead for a "Spirited Away" atmosphere.
3️⃣ Zhenxian Cave Light Show (20:00-20:30)
An immersive live landscape performance with lasers projecting Taoist stories on the cliff walls. The best viewing spot is on the stone steps of Daode Square.

📸【Top Photo Spots】
▶️ Corner Lantern Wall at Wangxian Tower
The red lantern matrix is very imposing. Use a wide aperture to shoot silhouette portraits.
▶️ Fang Family Ancestral Hall Waterside Pavilion
Use the water surface to capture building reflections. On rainy days, the stone slab road reflections are even more stunning.
▶️ Narrow Alley in Ancient Town Homestay Area
Bluestone road + warm yellow wall lamps. Use 0.5x wide-angle on your phone to create a time tunnel effect.
