Don't be cheated by scalpers~) 💞【Must-visit attractions + photo booths】 ▶️ Beginner-friendly route (3-hour version) 🕐 Best time: 17:00-19:00 (avoid the midday sun, the light is gentle enough to glow!) ① View the lawn from Dawei Bridge (must check in!) 👉 Standing on the orange bridge, take a 45° upward shot of the green ocean and distant mountains. At sunset, you will have the illusion of "golden wheat waves"! 📸Camera position: Outside the fence on the left side of the bridge (the non-artificial turf area is more natural) ② Twilight Forest Trail (15-minute walk) 👉 Route: Path on the left side of the parking lot → Turn right at the end and go straight → Winding plank road down the slope ✨ Hidden trick: Use "diagonal composition" to take photos of the backlit pine forest in the middle of the plank road in the afternoon. The atmosphere is almost as good as the filming location of "Goblin"! ③ Iris Sea Pier (April-May only!) 👉 Note: The best flowering period is mid-April. Now you can take photos of green leaves and water reflections, paired with Hanfu costumes! 👗 Outfit suggestion: light-colored long skirt + straw hat (renting Hanfu in the scenic area is 80 yuan/3 hours) ④ Bird watching platform picnic area (a must-go if you bring your kids!) 👉 You can feed wild egrets (prepare some bread crumbs), the wooden platform provides shade and mosquito protection, and it is more comfortable to bring your own picnic mat~ ⚠️【Tickets/Opening Hours/Notes】 🎫 Tickets: Free!
