🏞️ Visit the Reclining Buddha wonder and West Peak Observation Deck to capture Guilin's skyline.
✨ They say wishes made at the peak come true, and the passing wind will carry your heart's desires!

🌟 Shanshui Garden: Instant masterpieces 📸
🌄 Recommended outfits for Shanshui Garden: Chinese-style white T-shirts and floral dresses
✅ Wide-angle lens + ND filter for water flow and mist, telephoto lens for details.
✅ Use reflections and foreground elements in composition, combine with ethnic costumes or Chinese-style elements for better photos.

📸 Photography tips | Even beginners can master these!
✅ Composition rules: Use branches and leaves as foreground, blur the background to highlight the subject; diagonal composition creates more dynamic images.
✅ Light magic: Soft light in early morning or evening is better for portraits; at noon, use leaves to filter sunlight for dappled light effects.
✅ Props that enhance: Bring straw hats, osmanthus cakes, transparent umbrellas to add storytelling elements to your photos!
