West Lake Spring Tour | The Romance of Monet's Garden, This Photo Guide is Breathtakingly Beautiful!

"One mention of 'spring isn't late,' and I'm crushed in the real Jiangnan" But don't worry! As a photography enthusiast who's lived in Hangzhou for 5 years, I've secretly collected 6 magical spots to avoid crowds 📸 I'll help you capture spring photos that "own the entire West Lake"~ --- 🌸 Photo Route: Secret Map of Less Crowded, Beautiful Scenery 1️⃣ [New Henghe Bridge at Liulang Wenying] - Emerald Tunnel 📍Navigate to "New Henghe Bridge," the small river under the bridge flows like jade! ✨Tip: Crouch down with a wide-angle lens to capture the arch bridge and its reflection forming a perfect circle. Wear a light-colored dress, twirl and snap - you'll look like a Disney princess on the run! 2️⃣ [Maojiabu Bluish-Green Canopy] - West Lake's Hidden Corner 🌿A secret spot only locals know! February orchids + waterside boardwalk, like an ink painting when morning mist hasn't cleared. 💡My secret angle: Stand on the west side of the pavilion, use a telephoto lens to compress the lake surface, with boats as perfect accents. 3️⃣ [Flower Harbor Fish Viewing·Begonia Path] - Instant Kyoto 🌸Late March, begonias bloom like snow. Recommended shooting at 4pm in backlight! When petals are translucent, they look like glass candy wrappers. Crouch down to use petals as foreground - even hair strands will glow~ --- 📸 Essential Photo Gear List ▫️Reflector (West Lake's tree shadows create beautiful light spots but can darken faces) ▫️Spray bottle (Spraying water droplets on petals looks more natural than adding them in post-production) ▫️Chinese round fans/oil-paper umbrellas (Only 20 yuan at the scenic area entrance, cheaper than Taobao!) --- 🍵 Where to Rest After Taking Photos? ▪️ "Tea Village": An old house by the Longjing tea fields, try the osmanthus latte with lotus root balls, view Leifeng Pagoda from the second-floor terrace ▪️ "Yuhu Bay Tea House": Watch rowing boats pass by your window, order a pot of Nine-Curved Red Plum tea and wait for the West Lake sunset --- "Spring at West Lake, even the ripples are soft" Last week, I walked 20,000 steps with my friend from Beijing. Looking at the photos, she was stunned: "Is this the same West Lake my mom visited with her tour group?" 💌Tips: ✔️ Arrive before 7:00 AM = have the empty scene to yourself ✔️ Wear light pink/mint green/pale yellow colors, they match perfectly with spring waters ❌ Don't take the oar boats! Only hand-paddled boats can enter Maojiabu's secret waterways 📷 Filter Parameters (Xiangji app) Pure white +50 Light sensitivity -20 HSL green saturation +15 Add "soft light" effect 30% --- Click to save 🌟 Head out on the next sunny day!
