I thought the water lilies at Maojiabu were beautiful enough, until I visited Xianghu Lake

This year, the water lilies bloomed really early. Not only did Maojiabu have a vibrant display, but Xianghu Lake also had about seventy to eighty percent of its lilies in bloom. If you come to Hangzhou in May, don't miss out on this early summer romance! 📍｜Hangzhou Xianghu Scenic Area - Dingshan Square 📸｜Nikon Z6ii+z24-120 f4 📅｜Photographed on 2024.05.03 09:00-10:00 Photography tips✨ ❶ The water lilies at Dingshan Square are mainly pink and close to the shore, so there's no need for a telephoto lens; a 10-minute walk from here, under the Taxue Bridge, there are also some patches, mainly white, and they are a bit farther away. ❷ It's best to photograph water lilies in the morning, I heard that the flowers close in the afternoon, and the day I went they didn't open until 9:30. ❸ You need to report in advance if you want to fly a drone over Xianghu Lake, otherwise, there will be a 🙅🏻‍♂️ coming to stop you.
