Trip to Guangyuan 🇨🇳

Guangyuan is a hidden gem in Sichuan that we explored, and it completely exceeded our expectations! From breathtaking mountain landscapes to historical sites, this city offers incredible spots for photography. We would recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and fewer crowds. 📍 Address: Guangyuan, Sichuan, China One of the most stunning places we visited was Jianmen Pass. This ancient mountain pass is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and lush greenery, making it a perfect backdrop for photos. The best time to visit is early morning when the mist lingers over the mountains, giving the whole place a mystical vibe. The hanging plank roads along the cliffs offer an adventurous yet scenic spot for pictures! 📍 Address: Jianmen Pass, Jiange County, Guangyuan, Sichuan, China We also explored the Thousand-Buddha Cliff, an incredible site with ancient Buddhist carvings along the rock face. The intricate details of the stone statues are mesmerizing, and the best time for photos is in the afternoon when the sunlight highlights the carvings beautifully. Standing next to these centuries-old sculptures really makes you appreciate the history and craftsmanship of the past. 📍 Address: Thousand-Buddha Cliff, Lizhou District, Guangyuan, Sichuan, China Another spot we would highly recommend for photos is the Zhaohua Ancient Town. Walking through the old streets felt like stepping into a different era. The traditional wooden buildings, stone bridges, and red lanterns create a charming and nostalgic atmosphere. Sunset is the best time to visit, as the golden light makes the ancient town look even more picturesque. 📍 Address: Zhaohua Ancient Town, Zhaohua District, Guangyuan, Sichuan, China #discoverchina #travel #vacation

Guangyuan has returned from his punishment, so sisters who want to go there should be careful.
