It runs back and forth on the most densely flowered section of Jiaochang Middle Road, with a round trip taking about half an hour. The signs are clear and visible, and the boarding and alighting points are near the intersection of Jiaochang Middle Road and Xuefu Road. Traffic control on Jiaochang Middle Road is not strict, and it is crowded with people and vehicles. The trees are tall, so it is not easy to take portraits here. You either avoid peak times or bring a stool for close-up portrait shots. Jiaochang Middle Road allows and is suitable for drone photography, but there is significant interference from nearby residential areas, so fly with caution. 📍Panlong River Jacaranda blooms along the Panlong River, from Nantai Bridge in Wuhua District northward to Youguan Bridge in Panlong District, with fewer people than Jiaochang Middle Road. The Jacaranda is mainly on the west bank of the Panlong River, so the east bank is suitable for landscape photography, and the west bank for portraits. You can play from Jiangbin West Road all the way to Youguan Bridge. 📍Youguan Bridge There is only one large Jacaranda here, but its feature is that it is located next to the cross-river railway bridge, so you can take pictures of people standing on the railway with the flowers. However, the railway sleepers are hollowed out, and you need to be careful when walking and shooting when there are many people. Navigate to the Kunming Branch of Yunnan Province Hydrology and Water Resources Bureau. 📍Jiangbin West Road The Jacaranda on the Panlong River is mainly planted on the west bank, along Jiangbin West Road, with the blooming Jacaranda mainly located near the intersection of Jiangbin West Road and Renmin Middle Road, navigate to Hongcheng Square.
