The beauty of Laobian Gou is intoxicating

One word, the trip is truly worthwhile!!! The red leaves on both sides of the river have turned thoroughly red, and the trees along the trail are mainly in shades of yellow. Deep red, purple-red, dark red, ocher yellow, bright yellow, yellow with a hint of green... The colors are so rich, and for the first time, I have a concrete feeling of what 'forests dyed in layers' truly means. Tour Route ·After entering the main gate, start the tour from the left side of the scenic area. In the morning, the sun is against the light, making photo-taking not so great, so you can first walk on the upper plank road and wait for the light to improve before going down to the riverbank. ·You can walk along either the left or right side of the riverbank. When coming down, just walk in the opposite direction. Personally, I feel that the scenery on the left is better, and the sightseeing car goes up on the right side of the main road. ·When you reach a larger supply point where food is sold, you're near the end of the sightseeing car route, Fenghuang Ridge. There is a plank bridge here, and the maple leaves on both sides are super red! It's about an hour's walk uphill from here, and most people choose to go down the mountain at this point. Going down is quick, an hour is definitely enough, I walked fast and it took me half an hour. About Photography ·Standing in the middle of the river and shooting upwards is beautiful, there are several particularly good spots, you can follow those with camera tripods to find a place. But there are many people, and it's hard to take a photo without anyone in it. ·When the water in the river is too deep to walk through, just head up the small path above, the scenery is also amazing, and there are fewer people. On the way back in the afternoon, I found that there was no one in the river channel below, everyone had gone up, so hurry up and take pictures! So in the morning, you can first walk upwards, and then take pictures on the way back. ·Don't wear black clothes, warm colors, white, or earth tones are more suitable. You can refer to the color scheme of the movie 'Hero', which is very suitable for taking photos with a warm autumn or forest style. ·The stream is a major feature, with the sound of flowing water, suitable for recording videos. Pay attention to the reflection in the river water, it's so artistic. If you want to capture the effect of water flow silk, you can bring a phone stand and use long exposure.
