Photo Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Landscape from Sunrise to Sunset
At 4am, the photography guide will meet you at your hotel then heading to Xianggong Hill, which is considered one of the best spots in Yangshuo for capturing breathtaking photos of the karst mountains and the scenic Li River at sunrise.
Following breakfast at a local rice noodle restaurant, we'll drive to a peaceful village off the beaten path. Here, you'll have the chance to photograph the buffalo farmer on an ancient stone bridge and mountains in a distance.
Following a brief break, we'll visit an ancient town. You'll have the opportunity to visit a local's house, where you can capture photogenic portraits in their charming old wooden house, enhanced by natural light and a sense of history.
In the afternoon, we'll embark on a 1-hour drive to a mountain, where we'll capture breathtaking images of the sunset over the classic karst mountains and rivers from a high vantage point.
Day 2: Cormorant Fishermen & Countryside
Our day begins with an early morning drive to a hidden spot beside the Li River. We'll have the chance to capture stunning mountain reflections in the river. With one cormorant fisherman in the water, we'll photograph the tranquil scene of fishing at dawn and the sunrise above the fishing nets.
Following that, we will proceed towards Yulong River to capture more scenic countryside photographs.
We will then begin our session in the late afternoon, where we can take pictures of the flooded rice fields and karst mountains against the backdrop of the sunset.
Alternatively, we can also capture the sunset on a bridge as the bamboo rafts return home.
Trip Notes
01. Camera and lens suggestions
-
My recommendation to customers is to carry two cameras while photographing, as it saves time in changing lenses, especially during sunrise and sunset when the scenery changes rapidly. This ensures that you don't miss any beautiful moments.
-
For landscape photography, it's best to bring a wide-angle and zoom lens, such as 24-70mm and 70-200mm.
-
Additionally, a tripod is essential in low-light conditions, such as at dawn and dusk.
02. Drone photography
Drone photography in Yangshuo and Longji rice terraces is a must-try experience as the stunning mountain views are best captured from above. A drone can capture breathtaking aerial shots that are otherwise impossible to reach.
Moreover, there are no special restrictions for drone flying in Guilin and its surrounding areas.
