✅Outfit tips:
Mainly shorts and skirts, light and soft fabrics better match the natural vibe, water is about knee level.
Avoid blue/green colors as they blend into the background and don’t show well in photos. Recommended colors: red, yellow, white, multicolor, pink, orange, purple...
✅Sun protection: light sunscreen clothing is enough, black absorbs too much heat, don’t wear it! Wear holey shoes or creek shoes, walking time is long and involves water routes! Bring change of clothes for summer water play, kids should have plenty of underwear and shorts.
🌟Buy tickets online in advance, entry with ID card is super convenient. Baoquan is truly breathtaking! Ladies, hurry up and go!
