The romance of winter is brought by the dawn redwoods, perfect for photos!

🚀 December exclusive! Shaoguan Tianjingshan Dawn Redwood Forest comes with a built-in movie filter, every snap looks like a masterpiece! This hidden secret in Ruyuan reaches its most stunning moment in December, with the gradient-colored dawn redwoods reflected on the lake, like a spilled palette. Here are some of my favorite secret spots👇 📸 Photography tips: 1. The light is softest before 10 AM, and there’s a thin mist over the lake, super dreamy 2. Wear light-colored clothes and stand at the corner of the wooden boardwalk; use a telephoto lens to shoot from behind for a great atmosphere 3. Remember to bring spare batteries for drone shots! The god’s-eye view of the redwood forest surrounding the blue lake is amazing 📍 Navigation: Tianjingshan National Forest Park, Ruyuan County, Shaoguan City (beside National Highway G323) ⏰ Recommended time: Best in mid to late December, open daily from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM 💰 Ticket: 40 RMB per person (discounts available for advance online purchase) 💡 Useful tips: - Driving is recommended, about 3.5 hours from Guangzhou - There are simple meals in the park, but it’s better to bring a picnic mat and have lunch in the forest - Be sure to wear non-slip shoes! The wooden boardwalk covered with fallen leaves can be slippery - On the way, you can visit Nanshui Lake, a 20-minute drive, with unbelievably blue water If you go now, you can still catch the last wave of red leaves. Standing in the redwood forest with leaves falling all around, you finally understand what "life is worth it" means!
