The Jacaranda Trees on Jiaochang Middle Road in Kunming

In the urban greening of Kunming, jacaranda trees can be seen everywhere, such as at Cuihu, Beijing Road, Guannan Avenue, along the banks of the Panlong River, at the Dianchi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center, Jinning... Jiaochang Middle Road is located in the old city area, where the roads are narrow. The jacaranda trees planted along the road have grown large over time, perfectly achieving a canopy where branches hold each other's hands without being so dense as to block the scattering of sunlight, creating a purple dreamy kaleidoscope. Coupled with the plateau's azure sky and white clouds, it's the most photogenic scene. Only after visiting did I understand why some people exclaim: The jacaranda trees on Jiaochang Middle Road are divine in my eyes (The beauty of being there is something a camera can't capture) The essence of the viewing route is just over 1 kilometer long. I went there during the May Day holiday, and because there were too many tourists, the road was closed to traffic and turned into a pedestrian street, with all sightseeing vehicles suspended. Walking among the trees, the color of the jacaranda changes with the sunlight, more purple when facing the light, and more red against the light. So before taking a photo, it's better to find the direction of the light source for a more beautiful shot. Where there are many people, there are stories. Posed passers-by, enthusiastic photographers soliciting business, duty officers, and children with undivided attention... It shows that even the most beautiful scenery comes alive because of people! So don't worry about the crowd, the more the merrier 🚌 Bus stop: Jiaochang Intersection (Xuefu Road) 10 (starting from Nanping Street), 65, 70, 83 (starting from Kunming Railway Station) 🚇 Subway Line 4 Sujia Tang C exit, walk to Jiaochang Intersection ⏳ Best viewing period: From late April to early May each year 🍽 Dining recommendations: There are many snack shops on Xuefu Road 📷 Photography: Camera is better than mobile phone | Find the light source direction first, shoot with the light, avoid backlighting | Have people stand on higher ground, and the photographer shoot from a lower angle to perfectly avoid the tourists
