Hidden Experience at the Humble Administrator’s Garden! Promise me, don’t leave before 5 PM!

I really have to strongly recommend this little-known fact about the Humble Administrator’s Garden! If you leave before 5 PM, you’ll truly miss its most beautiful moment!! ✨【The Magical Moment at Five O’clock】✨ When visitors start to leave one after another, the garden suddenly falls silent, and the golden light of the sunset flows in like honey, turning the entire Humble Administrator’s Garden into a golden dream! 🌅 You will see: · Shimmering gold fragments on the water, reflecting pavilions and towers · Carved wooden windows casting mottled shadows under the slanting sun · Even the most ordinary stone paths become golden avenues · Lotus leaves edged with gold, koi swimming in the golden light 📸 Must-shoot spots: 1️⃣ Xiaofeihong Corridor Bridge Breathtakingly beautiful at sunset! The vermilion railings stand out especially in the golden light 2️⃣ Yuanxiang Hall Water Scene The water reflects the sky, sparkling with golden light like sprinkled gold dust 3️⃣ Wuzhu Secluded Residence Look at the sunset through the round moon gate; the composition looks exactly like an ancient painting 💡 Tips: · In summer, it’s best to wait from 4:30 to 5:30 PM · In winter, shooting from 3:30 to 4:30 PM is recommended · Wearing Hanfu or light-colored dresses makes for better photos · Don’t forget to bring a telephoto lens! Trust me, after seeing the Humble Administrator’s Garden under the golden light, you’ll understand what “changing scenes with every step, each step a painting” means. At this time, the garden truly has the soul of a Jiangnan garden!
