The bridge arch naturally frames the tree shadows and flowing water, creating rich layers; - Bench on the riverside walkway 🪑: Sit on the bench with a background of golden leaves falling all around, half-body shots with leaves falling on your shoulder look lively; 💡 Tips: Recommended to visit before dusk.
