Shicheng Red Maple in Wuyuan: The photos are stunning, but the reality is quite ordinary
In mid to late November each year, there are two places in Wuyuan that are most popular. One is Huangling (Sun-drying Autumn), for detailed guide, please refer to the previous note on the homepage. The other place is Shicheng, a small village located on the north line of Wuyuan, which attracts many photography enthusiasts because of the presence of red maple.
Compared with the photos of mountain mist and interlaced light and shadow on the Internet, the viewing experience of Shicheng Scenic Area without filters is quite ordinary. In my opinion, photography enthusiasts who are close by can go there. If you travel a long distance to experience the autumn in Shicheng, you will probably be disappointed.
🌅 Shicheng Red Maple, the best shooting time is at sunrise
Wuyuan Shicheng Red Maple Leaf Scenic Area, ticket price is 60 yuan. Compared with Huangling, Shicheng is further away, public transportation is inconvenient, it is recommended to drive or charter a car to go there. Wuyuan Old North Station has a daily rural bus to Shicheng, with few shifts.
Although it is called Red Maple Leaf Scenic Area, in fact, there are more Chinese tallow trees in Shicheng. The best shooting time is before sunrise every day, so if you want to watch Shicheng Red Maple, it is best to stay near Shicheng the night before, there are many choices of homestays around.
Compared with the stunning photos on the Internet, the red leaves in Shicheng are not so bright in reality, and the rising fog is not naturally formed, but the smoke formed by burning firewood. If you burn too little, the shooting effect is not good, if you burn too much, it is quite smoky.
🍁 Shicheng Red Maple relies heavily on sunny days, and long-focus shooting is better
Unlike the grandeur of Kanas autumn scenery, and unlike the majestic autumn scenery of Western Sichuan, the autumn in Jiangnan has a few points of delicate and gentle temperament.
The autumn in Wuyuan is also like this, it looks good in photos. But in terms of viewing experience, it lacks a bit of shock. Red maple shooting is very dependent on the weather, only under the sunlight, the red leaves and fog reflect each other, can you take stunning photos. If it is rainy weather, the shooting effect will be greatly reduced.
Since the Shicheng Red Maple viewing platform is a distance from the village, it is best to prepare for long-focus shooting. After the morning shooting, you can return to Wuyuan, or visit the surrounding attractions of Shicheng, the more famous ones are Yaoli Ancient Town, the roundest village in China, Jujing Village; if you like hiking, you can also choose the Shicheng-Changxi hiking route.
From the north of Anhui, Zhangzhou, the car at more than seven o'clock circled the porcelain palace. It's about six o'clock, and it's almost seven o'clock. It's really pretty here, Huizhou architecture. Drones are full of sky.
Shicheng County, Jiangxi Province Ganzhou City-administered county, located in the southeast of Jiangxi Province. Jianxian was named after the eleventh year of the Nantang Baoda (953 AD). Shicheng is rich in tourism resources, with exquisite county towns and beautiful villages. The beautiful scenery of the late autumn festival attracted a large number of photographers and tourists, and the landscape of the Shicheng Village in the morning has become the wish of many photographers to think about it. On the top of the mountain, in the ditch, the red leaves compete for the glory, like the red glow, the gray houses and the maple forest intersect, forming a different scenery of Wuyuan Shicheng Village in autumn.
Every autumn, the leaves start to turn red, before and after sunrise, fog or smoke will linger among the ancient trees, faintly confused, showing a fairy mirror-like light and shadow, the whole village like a thin veil, the beauty to the extreme. Of course, the beautiful morning mist landscape is not every day, it needs the cooperation of the climate and environment, and it is a kind of luck to be able to meet.
Usually do not accept tickets, because it is reasonable to charge 60 yuan tickets in the peak season, and the mountain is already densely packed at five o'clock in the morning.
Very shocking, just when I went, there were no red leaves, but the smoke was also very shocking, I hope I can go again in the future
Shicheng only collects tickets for the autumn festival, 60 people... Here is mainly to shoot morning mist at the observation deck, and you have to live in the village to shoot in the morning. The village is very intimate, if there is no natural morning mist, it will set off smoke. In short, you can definitely take pictures of the village in the smoke. White walls and a few red leaf trees in the fog really resemble a fairyland.
Buy tickets online, convenient and fast. No need to waste time buying tickets on the spot. Shicheng only needs to buy tickets in autumn. In order to take pictures of the morning fog in autumn, it is worth buying tickets. If there is no morning fog on the day, the village will set off smoke, so it will definitely be photographed!
