Hogwarts Tianjin Branch? Ancient Castle + Strange Stones, Magic Level Maxed Out

Zhonghua Stone Garden, Tianjin|Hogwarts Tianjin Branch📜 1. Must-Know Before Entering (Avoid Pitfalls) 1. Tickets: 25 RMB/person, buy tickets on-site by scanning QR code, student tickets half price (bring student ID!), super convenient parking at the entrance, 10 RMB/day🚗 2. Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM), recommended to arrive around 10 AM, the sunlight slanting on the ancient castle is perfect for photos, avoid weekend afternoon crowds~ 3. Outfit: Light-colored long dress/college-style shirt + small leather shoes, matches perfectly with the off-white castle and greenery, wear a wizard hat to instantly become a Hogwarts “freshman”🧙‍♀️ 2. Hogwarts-Style Photo Spots (Ranked by Popularity) 1. Front of the Main Castle: Arched doorway + pointed tower, stand on the front steps holding a magic wand (available inside for 15 RMB each), side shot of your back, sunlight streaming through carved windows onto you, atmosphere fully charged✨ 2. Central Strange Stone Area: Huge Lingbi stone shaped like the map of China, next to a European-style fountain and lawn, sit on the grass to shoot the castle in the distance, feels like daydreaming in the Hogwarts courtyard~ 3. Castle Second Floor Corridor: Wooden railing + stained glass, stand at the corridor’s end and look back with a smile, light and shadow falling on your face, as if you’re about to attend potions class📖 4. Backyard Small Garden: Climbing flower trellis + stone lantern, spin around in a long dress, when the skirt flares, the castle as the background, a perfect everyday magical world scene🌿 3. Hidden Tips & Tricks - Bring some breadcrumbs, there are fearless white pigeons in the backyard, capture shots while feeding, pigeons flying around instantly give off the “Hedwig delivering mail” vibe🕊️ - The café inside the park is cost-effective, order a latte and sit by the window, shoot the castle + coffee cup in the same frame, caption your social media “Hogwarts Afternoon Tea Time”☕ - There’s a cultural and creative shop at the exit, buy a mini strange stone fridge magnet (20 RMB), printed with the Stone Garden castle, more meaningful than ordinary souvenirs~ 4. Transportation & Surroundings - Subway: Get off at “Meijiang Convention Center Station” on Line 6, 10-minute taxi ride (about 15 RMB); take bus 632 to “Zhonghua Shiyuan Station,” 2-minute walk to the garden - Nearby: Very close to Meijiang Park, after visiting the Stone Garden you can go shoot lake views, and stop by a Tianjin restaurant to try Guoba Cai + Jianbing, experience the local flavor beyond magic🌮 💥You can take plenty of Hogwarts-style beautiful photos and immerse yourself in strange stone culture, half a day is enough~
