I photographed the spring scenery of Jiangnan Gardens in the Summer Palace

"The red peach blossoms are tinged with the night rain, and the green willows are tinged with the morning mist." This poem by Wang Wei is the Jiangnan I have always longed for. Especially the beautiful scenery of Baidi Causeway in West Lake in the early morning after a night of rain. . The West Bank of the Summer Palace is as beautiful as those in Suzhou and Hangzhou. There is also a peach tree every three steps and a willow tree every five steps. What is missing is only the mist and rain. Many people walked to the West Embankment and said: It’s even more beautiful than "Eternal Love"! Unfortunately, I missed the best viewing period for peach blossoms this year. There are only a few peach blossoms left on Xidi. What’s even more regrettable is that we encountered a sandstorm! ! . It was a piece of yellow sand, and I didn't expect to take good photos. After increasing the saturation of the photo, Green trees and red flowers become conspicuous, The opaque sky and the almost reflectionless lake surface, Except the sky is yellow and a bit dirty. That hazy feeling, It actually has some of the artistic conception of "Misty and Rainy Jiangnan". . 📍: Summer Palace ⏰:6:30-19:00 . 📸|Recommended shooting locations 1. Xidi: The peach blossom ceiling of the Summer Palace! There are peach blossoms all along the lake, and the reflection of the lake + the peach blossoms are absolutely beautiful! 2. Leshou Hall: The combination of ancient architecture and peach blossoms gives it a full sense of ancient style, and any shot of it will turn out to be a blockbuster! 3. Wanshou Mountain: Take a bird's-eye view of peach blossoms, Kunming Lake and Seventeen-Arch Bridge from the mountain. The picture is super stunning! 4. Xiqu Garden: Few people, beautiful scenery, peach blossoms + small bridges and flowing water, suitable for taking quiet photos~
