Exploring Ya'an's "Earth Fingerprint"

🌿 Ya'an tea mountains shrouded in mist! Snap stunning shots of the terraced fields that look just like the "Earth Fingerprint" masterpiece! I've discovered a hidden gem in Sichuan! Breaking through the city smog straight to these cloud-covered tea mountains, the ink-wash effect on rainy days is even more breathtaking 👏 📍 Location: Jingu Village, Hongxing Town, Mingshan District, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province (navigate directly by searching "Earth Fingerprint") 🚗 Driving tips: 2 hours from Chengdu, rural roads with many bends and narrow paths 🅿️ Parking: 5 yuan for two hours 🌫️ Exclusive rainy day experience: 1️⃣ View from the observation deck The terraced fields appear faintly through the mist, drone shots are stunning! Wearing bright-colored clothes is recommended for better photos 2️⃣ Tea picking experience with local farmers There are signs with contact information for inquiries 📸 Recommended photo spots ✔️ Corner railing at Observation Deck No. 1 (captures tea mountains + mist + small bridge in one frame) ✔️ Overhead shots on the stone path through the tea fields (wide-angle lens highlights the layers of the terraces) ⚠️ Tips to avoid trouble ▪️ Stone paths are slippery when wet! Be sure to wear non-slip shoes ▪️ Mist is thickest after 3 PM, tea picking is best in the morning ▪️ Drone flights require prior approval
