It is recommended to shoot in the soft light of early morning or evening to avoid overhead light at noon. - Spider Flower Clusters: The light pink, milky white, and light purple flower clusters are short. Squat down for an overhead shot or lie down for a shot looking up, matching the blue sky background to instantly transform into a manga heroine. - Dutch Windmill Area: Use the windmill as a foreground, have the person stand far away on the side of the flower path, and use a wide-angle lens to capture the depth of space. Add a creamy filter for a more dreamy effect. - Muhlenbergia capillaris Season (September–October): Wear a light-colored sweater + beret, shoot against the light to capture the fluffy pink haze, and move gently to avoid crushing the flowers. - Night Scene Mode: LED ground lights + moonlight flower path, turn on the phone's long exposure to capture light trails, and the atmosphere will be legendary! 🚌 Transportation Guide - Bus: Routes 872, 217, and 238 go directly to "Malanxu Wetland Park" station. Get off and you will reach the flower sea entrance. - Self-Driving: Navigate to "Malanxu Wetland Park". For parking, you can choose the nearby Libuhu Parking Lot (about 500m walk). It is recommended to arrive before 9am on weekends to avoid congestion. - Subway + Cycling: Take Subway Line 1 to Weidong Station, then transfer to a shared bicycle and cycle for about 15 minutes, enjoying the urban scenery of Honggutan along the way. 🌿 Travel Tips 1. Appreciate Flowers in a Civilized Way: There are trails in the flower sea, so do not step on the flower bushes! The park has a dense distribution of trash cans, so please take your trash with you. 2. Outfit Suggestions: Light-colored dresses, straw hats, and woven bags are the most photogenic for French/pastoral styles; wear comfortable shoes for easy walking (the park area is large). 3. Must-Have Items: Sunscreen, mosquito repellent, power bank (photography drains power quickly), picnic mat (for resting in the lawn area). 4. Travel During Off-Peak Hours: There is a large flow of people on weekends, so it is recommended to shoot on weekdays or before 9am/after 5pm, when the light is soft and there are fewer people and cleaner scenery. 🍜 Nearby Food Recommendations - Nanpu Night Market (15-minute drive): Authentic Nanchang mixed noodles + crock pot soup, fried skewers, and white sugar cakes. You can eat your fill for an average of CNY 20 per person. - Honggutan Wanda Golden Street: Internet-famous milk tea, cheese hot dogs, and taro puree ice, perfect for replenishing energy after taking photos. - Libuhu Food Stalls: A local's secret night snack stalls, with crayfish, barbecue, and fried snails, full of local flavor. 💡 Hidden Ways to Play: Niche Experiences - Parent-Child Study Tour: Observe wetland plants (reeds, cattails), look for dragonflies/butterflies, and take your children to learn about the natural ecology. - Sunset Picnic: Lay out a picnic mat in the lawn area along the Wusha River, with fruit and sparkling wine, and wait for a pink sunset. - Hanfu Photos: Rent Hanfu to take ancient-style blockbusters. The windmill + flower sea background comes with a Xianxia drama atmosphere. Final little surprise: The flower styles in the south and north areas of the park are different. The sunflowers in the south area are enthusiastic, and the spider flowers in the north area are gentle.
