Top 3 Locations for Spring Photography in China
Though all four seasons offer unique sights, spring provides beauty to exceed the rest.
To aid your travels, we have made a list of the locations that are the best for spring photography.
Photographing Xitang
Known for its nine rivers, Xitang blends the beauty of nature with 900-year old bridges and homes. First settled during the Ming dynasty, much of Xitang’s original architecture remains intact.
Furthermore, as an operating village, Xitang’s residents still live the traditional Chinese lifestyle. This gives you the chance to capture the image of centuries old Southeastern China today.
When visiting Xitang, don’t be discouraged by the frequent rain. We find it enhances the scenery more than it detracts from it, and you may end up agreeing with us!
Between the beauty of nature and the centuries-old architecture, Xitang is a great choice for spring photography.
Photographing Xidi and Hongcun
Separated by only 15 kilometers, the villages of Xidi and Hongcun are often referred to in tandem.
Like Xitang, both show stunning conservation of centuries old architectural style.
Consisting of over 100 preserved homes, there is plenty to capture in these two villages. Because of this, the villages were added to the World Heritage List, ensuring their future preservation.
While you’re there, keep a close eye on the way the water reflects the image of the homes. Read More…
