Springtime Magic at Huizhou West Lake
Who turned spring into a golden poem? The fishwood flowers on Chen Gongdi at Huizhou West Lake are performing an enchanting "Springtime Magic" to the fullest!
🌸 "Golden Secret Realm" that captivates at first sight
▪️ A hundred-meter-long embankment transformed into a golden ocean by thousands of fishwood flowers. The petals transition from snow-white to bright yellow as they bloom, and when the wind blows, it feels like a "golden rain" falling, with even the stone-paved paths covered in delicate, gold-like petals!
▪️ The 5cm-long silver-white stamens are longer than the petals, and hundreds of small flowers cluster into flower balls, resembling "golden tassels" hanging on the branches from afar. Up close, they seem to come with a soft-focus filter, creating cinematic shots with every click of the shutter.
📸 Photography tips to light up your social media
Best angles:
Use a telephoto lens to shoot upwards from the embankment, capturing the flower trees, lake view, and ancient architecture in one frame for maximum ambiance;
Squat down to photograph the "golden carpet" of fallen petals, with a gently swaying skirt for a manga heroine vibe!
Outfit suggestions:
Light-colored long dresses or modern-style cheongsams are perfect! Pair with a plain oil-paper umbrella or a straw bag for an extra touch of elegance.
Flower season alert:
Currently in full bloom (mid-April to early May). Best times for photos are before 10 AM or after 4 PM when the light is soft and not harsh.
