With the theme of the Wizard of Oz 🍃, the route is full of greenery and lush trees 🎋, making you feel like you are in a natural oxygen bar. Enjoy the gifts of nature and relax your body and mind 😌. · 【🌷Scenic Spots】 🔸Turtle Pond is a famous 🪷 water lily viewing area in West Lake. Every summer, the water lilies bloom in full bloom, competing with each other, bringing a visual feast to visitors. 🔸Pass through several bridge holes, each with its own unique scenery and charm. Walking through the bridge holes, you can not only appreciate the simplicity and elegance of the bridge holes themselves, but also feel a different kind of tranquility and mystery. 🔸You will also pass by some iconic attractions of West Lake, such as the West Lake landscape on the one-yuan note, Su Causeway Spring Dawn, Leifeng Pagoda, etc... · 【📷Photo Tips】 -🕒Shooting Time- The scenery of Turtle Pond is very charming at 🌅 sunset. It is recommended to arrive between 4:30 and 5:20, when the light is soft and the photos will be very beautiful! -🤳Shooting Skills- Use elements such as the boat, water lilies, and tree shadows 🌿 to compose the picture, making the photo layered, or interact with natural elements such as water lilies and wild ducks. -👗Clothing Suggestions- New Chinese-style clothing is very suitable for taking photos.
