1204 Sunrise at the Summer Palace, the western hills glowing orange like colorful Danxia

☘️ After so many years, this is my first time watching the sunrise at the Summer Palace! ☘️ The sunrise at the West Causeway is incredibly beautiful! You can even capture it with your phone, the gentle beauty of the cold winter! ⭐️ 【Highlights】 ✅ The sunrise is stunning, the sky is orange-red, even the reeds are orange-red, shimmering with golden light! ✅ The western hills start out pink, then turn bright red, then orange-red, with some purple in between, just like colorful Danxia, breathtakingly beautiful! ✅ The Jade Spring Pagoda stands magnificently between the morning sun and the western hills. ✅ The weeping willows on the West Causeway sway in the wind, some green, some golden, with Lian Bridge, Mirror Bridge, and Jingming Tower standing tall—stillness and movement, picturesque. ⚠️ Tips: 1️⃣ It’s very cold early in the morning, freezing your hands and ears, so be sure to bring gloves and a hat, especially if you’re holding a camera—it feels like an ice block, your hands quickly go numb! 2️⃣ The wind by Kunming Lake is very strong, so dress warmly and protect yourself from the wind. 3️⃣ There are few people early in the morning, and parking spaces are ample. 4️⃣ I really admire and envy the elderly folks exercising here! Everyone looks very healthy! ❤️ On a cold winter day, why not get up early and come to the Summer Palace to watch the sunrise? And while you’re at it, check out the mountain peach blossom that blooms in early winter 2025!
