For this dopamine castle!! I specifically flew to Jianshui, Yunnan

For this dopamine castle! I specifically flew to Jianshui, Yunnan 🚀 Who understands! Weekend escape for architecture workers refusing to compete, heading straight to Jianshui Ant Workshop, directly stunned speechless by the real-life "game castle"! I've seen bloggers check in before, but this time I experienced it myself—100 times more shocking than the photos! As a [500 niche architectural spaces] checker (29/500 completed ✅), I must say this is the treasure I discovered this year! It shares the same creator as Mile Dongfeng Yun—a Yunnan genius artist Luo Xu, with ceramic culture as the soul, an ant nest as the form, and colorful five-hole bricks stacked to max out the artistic vibe! Must-visit scenes, each one so photogenic it makes you cry 😭 - Danwo: Turn left upon entering the park! A cluster of buildings made of colorful hollow bricks, standing anywhere feels like Morocco, the atmosphere sticks to you instantly~ - Pink Fate: Who can resist the pink irregular castle on the right! A total girly dream, even the shadows are sweet, you never get tired of photographing it~ - Happy Hall: A surprise near the parking lot! Like waves of pink foam, standing underneath feels like stepping into a fairy tale~ There are also cave dwellings and the Ant Workshop Tower. Come in spring and you might catch a sea of bougainvillea flowers, each spot unlocking new poses! Photo tips to guarantee great shots 📸 1. Find frames! Find depth! Find curves! Shooting through brick holes adds great layering, try different angles for surprises~ 2. Definitely go on a sunny day! Sunlight on colorful bricks acts like a natural filter, cloudy days lose that magic~ 3. I recommend rushing in right when it opens! When I arrived at 10:30, it was already crowded. For empty shots, getting up early is totally worth it! Travel tips, take them and thank me later 👇 Address: Just navigate to Jianshui Ant Workshop, super easy to follow the location~ Tickets: Full ticket 40 RMB/person, combo ticket 50 RMB/person is super cost-effective! The combo includes Leg Manor + Art Museum, plus 3 ceramic coins to spend in the park or keep as meaningful souvenirs~ This trip to Jianshui was definitely worth it! Architecture lovers and photo enthusiasts, go for it with your eyes closed, your social media will explode with likes~
