I didn't expect to have such natural scenery in my country. It's so amazing! ! ! Especially at sunset. I have been to 100 cities in a year, but none of them amaze me as much as this one. It feels like I have traveled into the world of Zelda. There is no end to the mud forest. The photos taken at sunset are too good to be true! And it was during the Qingming Festival holiday, so there was no one around, so I had nothing to do for the photo-taking. - "About the scenic spot🏜️" Songyuan Gan'an Mud Forest It is a very unique mud forest landscape. I didn't expect to find it in Songyuan City, Jilin Province. It is a scenic spot that I discovered by accident. It is really spectacular and worth a special visit🧳 - "About the photo-taking strategy⬇️" We arrived at around 16:00 in the afternoon. This time is very suitable, it won't be too sunny. The mud forest is very vast and the sunset can be seen at a glance. You can watch the sun fall into the horizon without any obstruction. - "About outdoor wear" It is suitable to wear outdoor clothes! Take photos and make movies🉑️ Be sure to wear a hat! The wind will be very strong hahaha, don't ask me how I know Wear lightly for better photos - "About transportation🚗" You can only drive here, there is no public transportation Don't navigate directly to Gan'an Nilin, you can't enter the scenic area You can navigate to Xuezi Village, drive forward along Xuezi Village and you will see it. The deeper you go, the more shocking it is. There are reed marshes below. The sun is very bright before sunset, and it is very photogenic. I am very glad that more and more people know about this place! Gan'an Mud Forest has also become a little popular Tips: The wind is very strong, and it is full of dust and dust, so you can't open your eyes Suggested equipment: hat 🧢 mask 😷 sunglasses 🕶️‼ ️Don’t wear white shoes‼ ️There are no toilets or restaurants here, please take care of your personal problems before coming
