First half: Find your birthday stone at Number of Life Steps → Tianxing Cave

📸 Photography Tips:
▪️ Doupotang: Wear a solid-color long dress and stand on the right side of the viewing platform, using greenery as foreground
▪️ Silver Chain Waterfall: Use "slo-mo" mode to capture splashing water, darken background in post-editing for depth
▪️ Grand Waterfall: Strong noon light? Use portrait mode to blur mist, supplement face with reflector
💡 Pro Tips:
The 50 yuan shuttle bus is essential! Long walking distances between 3 scenic spots
Peak water season (Jun-Aug) offers the grandest views, but Water Curtain Cave may close—check notices
Huangguoshu's waterfall symphony awaits! Marvel at its summer might or winter elegance—each season paints a unique masterpiece!
