Stepping into the anime world of Hayao Miyazaki, the sea of Soma flowers in Xichang has bloomed

The whole of April was spent waiting for this sea of flowers, until I came to Xichang and felt once again — 'Where exactly is the world filled with flowers?' It's right here in Xichang's Gukede, dreamlike and so beautiful it leaves you speechless~ Soma flowers, known as 'Azaleas' in Chinese The azaleas here are mostly shrubby, not tall but plentiful in flowers~ Clusters of them grow together, forming a sea that connects into a mountain Standing at a high point and overlooking the entire sea of Soma flowers is like stepping into Hayao Miyazaki's anime world~ 📍: Soma Flower Sea in Gukede, Xichang 🚗: Self-driving is recommended, navigation will get you there 🎫: 20 yuan 📷📷 How to take photos: 1⃣️Take lots of wide shots and close-ups for easy collage, a slightly overhead perspective is better 2⃣️You can walk among the flowers, take photos of side faces, back views, and other atmospheric shots 3⃣️Bring some small props, add a little action to enrich the scene 4⃣️Recommend using a telephoto lens for shooting, or a prime lens for close-ups of people ⚠️⚠️ 1⃣️Bring mosquito repellent to prevent bites 2⃣️Bring a windbreaker or jacket, the wind is really strong 3⃣️Prepare food and water, as this place is more primitive with not much for sale 4⃣️Pay attention to sun protection, the plateau sun is really strong, and the ultraviolet rays are intense.
