🔺Notes
1⃣️ Drone flying may encounter poor signal📶, to avoid crashing be careful to avoid power lines and zip lines, height limit 120m, prone to drone crashes~
2⃣️ Using a telephoto lens is also no pressure, and it's also better for taking photos of people
3⃣️ The castle does not offer accommodation to the public, but there are many places to stay in this area
4⃣️ The path down to the shore is not easy to walk, non-photography enthusiasts should not try it lightly, be rational about what you add to your bucket list!
