Guangxi's Stunning Hidden Gem! The Sapphire Skylight Only Photographers Know About

I'm truly speechless from the beauty of Hechi, Guangxi!! Fewer people and beautiful scenery during the holiday, and I even accidentally discovered Jiuling Skylight. It's like a real-life version of the "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" painting 🖼️ The moment I climbed to the top of the mountain, I was really shocked. Right beneath my feet was a whole area of translucent blue "sapphires" 💎 Hechi is full of sea mustard flowers, like stars fallen into the water. Sunlight hits the water surface, sparkling beautifully and unreal!! 💗The people here in Hechi are very simple and kind, and the homestay owners are great too. If you plan to visit, I can recommend some homestays that are cheap and clean 🈵 📍Location: Jiuling Skylight, Hechi, Guangxi (Suggest self-driving, navigation is very accurate) 📸Real tested photo tips: 1️⃣ You definitely don’t need to climb to the mountain top‼️🤫 Photographers tell you 🤭 just climbing halfway to this viewing platform is enough! You can definitely get amazing shots for your life portfolio ✅ (Remember to save this⭐️) The overhead shooting angle is the essence. A wide-angle lens instantly captures the same style as "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains." 2️⃣ The light is softest from 9-11 AM (or 4-5 PM in the afternoon is also good) ✅ Sea mustard flowers glow under the sunlight ❌ Not recommended at noon ❌ Too harsh and no good photo effect ❌ 3️⃣ Drone aerial shots are amazing. The blue-green gradient looks like a spilled palette. 4️⃣ You can bring some ancient-style props, Fans or cloaks make the photos more artistic. 💡Tips: ▪️ The hiking path is a bit steep, remember to wear non-slip shoes. ▪️ No shops nearby, bring your own water and snacks. ▪️ Protect the environment, don’t pick flowers or trample plants. Only photographers specifically come here to find this spot. I got bombarded with questions when posting on social media 👏 Everyone says it feels like discovering a paradise away from the world~
