No need to rush to Xinjiang! Guilin hides a real-life Altay!​

🌼No need to rush to Xinjiang! Guilin hides a real-life Altay!​ Just finished shooting a set of beautiful photos at Chaping Reservoir, this hidden gem in Quanzhou, Guilin is absolutely stunning! No need to travel far to Xinjiang, you can enjoy the same healing scenery right here, I was truly amazed and speechless😭​ 📍Location: Chaping Reservoir near Tianhu, Guilin​ ⏰Best time to visit: Late June to mid-July every year​ At this time, the hillside by Chaping Reservoir looks like a scene from a fairy tale. The hills are covered with small yellow flowers forming a golden sea of blossoms🌼. When the wind blows, the flower sea ripples with a faint floral fragrance, instantly lifting your mood~​ Groups of cows🐂 slowly graze among the flowers and stroll by the lake. In the distance are layers of green mountains, and the clouds above seem within reach☁. Every scene looks like a still from a movie, and every photo turns out beautiful!​ The weather here changes very quickly; you might experience sunshine, heavy rain, rainbows, and sea of clouds all in one day. So be sure to bring rain gear and sun protection, or you might get caught off guard by the weather~​ The road up the mountain is a bit rough, so if you drive, choose a car with high clearance. We parked next to Chaping Hotel and walked up, and the scenery along the way was amazing too, a nice bonus!​ 📸Photo tips:​ ✅Wear a light-colored long dress with a straw hat for easy Instagram-worthy shots, fresh and beautiful​ ✅Bring small props (like a flower basket or bubble machine) to instantly boost the atmosphere and make your photos stand out​ I never expected to find a place in Guangxi that looks so much like Xinjiang! Friends, quickly save this guide, or you’ll have to wait until next year! Grab your besties or significant other and come check it out, guaranteed to blow up your social feed💥
