Photography Poses:

1. The model raises one leg while dramatically spreading both arms, embodying a relaxed and uninhibited pose as if embracing the mountains and forests. This conveys excitement and a strong sense of interaction with nature, showcasing vitality and passion for the environment.

2. The model naturally extends both arms, slightly tilts the head back, adopting a quieter and softer stance, as if feeling the tranquility of the mountains and forests. This creates an atmosphere of integration and immersive enjoyment with nature, conveying a sense of relaxation and contentment.

Check-in Tips:

The golden hours are from 7 to 9 AM when a thin mist lingers in the mountains and forests, and sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a dappled effect with a natural hazy filter. From 5 to 7 PM, the warm glow of the setting sun bathes the forests in a golden hue, making for exceptional backlit portraits where even the hair seems to glow.

Photography Strategy:

Position yourself in the middle or at the end of the stone steps, with the camera aligned along the direction of the steps and pointing upwards. This technique draws the viewer's focus to the person and simultaneously captures the depth and winding nature of the path, embodying the essence of "a secluded path leading to a quiet place."

1. Positioning Perspective: The model stands in the middle of the walkway, while the photographer stands slightly lower, taking a frontal flat shot with the camera tilted slightly upward to emphasize the lush green background and the model's movements.

2. Composition Method: Employ a leading line composition, with the curved lines of the walkway guiding the viewer's gaze deeper into the image, and place the model in the center-right of the frame using the rule of thirds.

3. Lens Focal Length: Use a 50mm lens to compress the sense of space and highlight the subject and background layers.

1. Travel Tips: The ticket price is 12 yuan.

2. Additional Experiences: There is a parking lot at the Sanhua Stone Visitor Center, which is about 7 kilometers from the entrance of the scenic area and about 4 kilometers from Dai Lake. During holidays, it is required to make a reservation to enter the mountain from the Sanhua Stone entrance, and cars can be driven all the way to the entrance of the scenic area, but parking at the entrance is not convenient.

Use a centered composition with the wooden sign at the center of the frame to highlight the warning text. Shoot from a flat angle to ensure the text is clearly horizontal. Include the main body of the sign and the bamboo forest background in the shot to enhance the environmental atmosphere.
