Guangshan Travel Tips:
1. Chengmian Highway - Mianguang Highway - Shaanxi-Guangzhou Highway - Hanning Highway, the whole process is very good to drive, especially after passing through Guangyuan, Guangyuan - Hanzhong section, the car is less road is good, the speed limit is 120. for the journey tired driver, or should choose This road back to Chengdu.
2. If you take Bazhong, Bazhong to scenic Taoyuan Town, the map shows 140 kilometers, 5.3 hours. It is the whole provincial highway S101. from the road condition of the provincial highway S101 that I take Taoyuan, Nanzheng -, it is a concrete road, speed limit 60-80 kilometers. The road is good, but there are trucks. And the section from Nanjang to Taoyuan town is 70-80km, basically a road that goes uphill in the mountains, and the speed is definitely limited.
3. Eighteen Moon Lake Scenic Spot is worth visiting, but it is about 35km from Taoyuan Town - 53km from the lower entrance of the scenic spot (one-way road, scenic spot traffic police for safety mandatory arrangements). It is basically a winding mountain road between cliffs, the road is 3.5-4.5 meters wide, so pay special attention to passing cars with steep cliffs or overhangs on the side. Scenic spot entrance will be in the morning at 7:00 to 2-3:00 pm to buy tickets to release tickets on the mountain (the entrance staff said the upper limit of 400 cars). Scenic highway exit (i.e. scenic lower entrance parking lot) from 17:00 p.m. to release down the mountain. So one should pay attention to the time schedule, the second to pay attention to the speed, the road attention.
4. Dam scenic area (also known as Mouyang ancient city scenic area, including the natural gallery, the size of the blue ditch, black bear ditch) from the town of Taoyuan to the scenic area of about 30 kilometers, the cement road, the road surface of about 4.5-5 meters, than Shibu Tan scenic area a lot of wide.
5. The ticket office and the entrance to the Taoyuan scenic area are on the side of S101, and there are farmhouses on both sides. The road is narrow, and trucks pass through, making it easy to get stuck in traffic. It is best to quickly go through the ticket office, walk 60-80 meters to the parking lot, then go to the ticket office to buy tickets and inquire about the attractions.
Guangshan Play Tips:
1. Just look at the tourist map, you will know that Guangwu Mountain is divided into Peach Garden Scenic Spot, Mouyang Ancient City Scenic Spot, and Shibugutan Scenic Spot. After entering the Peach Garden Scenic Area, you need to park your private car and then take a sightseeing bus tour in the scenic area. The tour is divided into two routes. The first route is a disk road up to halfway up the mountain, and then you can climb for 1-1.5 hours to the first viewing platform and the second viewing platform. There are fewer red leaves along the way, and the main view is to enjoy the strange karst peaks of Guangwu Mountain from the two viewpoints. You can walk down the mountain from the third observation deck, but the guide said it takes 2-3 hours. The second is to take the sightseeing bus without going up the mountain, along the Jiaojia River all the way to Ganling Temple. Listen to the guide introduce the attractions on both sides of the river along the way, then take the sightseeing bus from Ganling Temple back to the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area or return to the parking lot on your own along the Jiaojia Riverfront Trail. Personally, I think this riverfront trail is more suitable for recreational waterfront entertainment in the summer months, but you need to pay attention to wading safety. The river is very clear, but the water is deep in some places.
2. Because of the distance, the food and drink at the 18 Moon Lake scenic spot is more expensive, and there is no accommodation. But from a photography point of view, it is worthwhile to take your time to take pictures. When I went there, it was here that I met the most photographers. Also, besides the official section from the upper entrance to the lower entrance of the scenic area, there are many other places from the entrance of the scenic road all the way to the entrance of the scenic area, where you can see the mountains full of red and yellow leaves from afar. However, as it is a narrow one-way road, you must be careful when you park your car to take pictures. Before getting out of the car, be careful to park in a place with sheltered space. It is dangerous to stop and take pictures in narrow places
3. The Peach Orchard Scenic Area Ticket Office is less than 500 meters in front of Minami River, and there is a PetroChina gas station. Whether you are going to Shibuya Beach Scenic Area or Dam Scenic Area, it is recommended to refuel here. Because I didn't find any other gas stations on my way to Taoyuan - Yueyu Tan and - Dam Scenic Spot, although the distance is not too far.
4. The Dam Scenic Spot road is well traveled and has scenery along the way. It is recommended to drive in at 7-8 am. In this way, when the morning sun appears, you can turn right at the Nature Gallery, Mouyang Ancient City Ruins, and Ruins to Dashilanggou Road, where you can have good oblique or backlighting, especially when it is projected on the tall red or yellow leaf forests with stunning colors.
5. Because of the Red Leaf Festival, farmhouse owners say Saturday and Sunday are the busiest times. On Saturday morning, my colleague came to the entrance of Mouyang ancient city scenic spot. Traffic was jammed all the way, and there were no toilets or selling points along the way. He could not eat or go to the toilet. He was so embarrassed that he had to come back in the afternoon and saw nothing. So it's best to play Monday through Friday, there will be much less tourists.

Arrive early (stop before 16:00), if you are willing to spend money, you can take the sightseeing bus to visit Jiaojia River and take pictures of the scenery and portraits.

The third day: Taoyuan Town - Mouyang Ancient City Scenic Spot (passing through the nature gallery, arrive at the big and small olive valley, return to the black bear valley) --Nanzheng--Hanzhong, stay in Hanzhong. Nanxian is very small and there are not many choices of accommodation. Of course late, just make do here, save 15 highway.

Day 4: Hanzhong - Hanning Expressway - Shaanxi-Guangzhou Expressway - Guangyuan - Mianyang - Chengdu. Along the way, you can choose to tour the Zhaohua Ancient City and Jiange Scenic Spot. But actually I found a town called "Houba" on the Mianxian-Guangyuan road. On the highway, there is a small river next to Houba town with a lot of red grass on the beach. It should be a good place to take portraits. But when you get off the highway, ask people.
3. Three days driving arrangements:
Day 1: Chengdu - Hanning Highway - exit Nanzheng - Taoyuan Town, stay in Taoyuan Town. (If the next day choose eighteen moon lake, it must be live in Taoyuan town.

4. Bazhong four days driving:
Day 1: Bazhong - Nanjiang - Taoyuan Town. Stay in Taoyuan Town. 40 kilometers. I estimate it will take more than five hours. If you arrive early, you can visit Jiaojiahe. However, I asked the people in the Jiaojiahe tour bus. A Bazhong couple entered the Pan Mountain Highway from Nanjiang to the upper entrance of Shibutan Scenic Spot, 50 kilometers uphill. Arrived without a ticket into the upper entrance parking lot, then visited the 18 lakes for free. After that they were let out at 17:00 and drove to Taoyuan town to stay. But apparently, if you leave from Bazhong in the morning, the disk road to the eighteen moon lake scenic area, then leave the scenic area is not enough time.
The second day: Taoyuan Town -, 18 Yue Tan scenic area, round trip, live in Taoyuan Town;
The third day: Taoyuan Town - Ancient City Scenic Spot (passing through the nature gallery, to reach the big and small olive valley, return to turn the Black Bear Valley) ---Wei
1.The best time to photograph the red leaves in Guangwu Mountain is from October 20th to November 10th. The leaves of Guangwu Mountain turn red in batches, first around the dam, Jieguoshan, Nature Gallery, then Heilonggou, then Jiujiao Mountain, Shibugutan, and finally Dashanggou and Panlong Bend of Weijiaba. The weather in Guangwu Mountain is changeable. Sunny days, rainy days, and morning fog are all beautiful. Be patient. It will rain in the morning and the sun may come out at noon. Photographing the red leaves in Guangwu Mountain focuses on the Eighteen Moon Lake and the Black Bear Valley. It is both atmospheric and exquisite. For those photographers with a tight schedule, it is recommended to focus on the two places, Eighteen Moon Lake and Black Bear Valley, which are enough to take good photos; for those photographers with a full schedule, they should also focus on these two places.
2. Luxiang to shoot the sunrise over the sea of clouds, you can shoot a big scene. However, watching sunrise and sea of clouds in Lu Xiang depends on luck. Often, what you wait for painstakingly may be a haze of mist.
3. Black Bear Gully is not long, about 2km, small and exquisite. Photographers are advised to go back and forth from top to bottom, from bottom to top, carefully observe the changes in perspective, and carefully compose the picture, which will surely be rewarding.
4. Chenjiashan - Yuyintai - Jiujiaoshan - Shibuya Beach line, the road has mountains and waterfalls, the early morning sunlight hit the leaves of the trees with a golden light, do not rush to rush through. If you encounter morning fog from time to time, you can take good pictures with a very layered look.
5. Shibuya Beach's ditch is relatively long, but the most beautiful scenery is spread over about 1/3 of the way from the upper ditch mouth to Bonsai Beach. The section from Bonsai Beach to the lower gully entrance has only one bigger attraction, Wedding Falls.
6. From Daxilangou to Jinzhuping, and Longtan to Weijaba exit, there are also sightseeing and photo spots along the way. But the road is not good for relatively few people.
Azalea shooting guide
1. In the Dam scenic area, the low mountains begin to open in early April, and the elevation starts from low to high. Lushan Mountain begins to open around May 20 every year, and thank you in early June. Lushan peaks peculiar, shooting and looking at the beauty.
Notes:
1. tripod is a must, want to do streaming silk can not be separated from the tripod. Special note: In addition to the tripod, be sure to bring CPL (polarizer), preferably with filters or scrims, so that the shutter can be reduced to 8 seconds, because to the attractions may be sunny. Without the above lenses, the shutter can only reach 1 second-1/8 second.
2. Spare batteries should be fully charged, the scenic voltage is unstable.
3. The climate in this scenic area is changeable. If you want to shoot the blue sky and white clouds, it is best to stay and wait. Autumn colors and red leaves will pass in two weeks. If you miss it, you will only have the next year!
4. Good shots are often produced from both the Big and Little Arashigou, but it is recommended to take a quick look at the Big Arashigou and focus on the Little Arashigou, where the landscape is exquisite and delicate, and there is a rich photographic element.
5. Heilonggou is also a place that produces good movies. It is recommended to pay attention to them everywhere, change the angle more, and go out of the ordinary to take special works!
6. If you want to make a good landscape film, you must avoid Saturday and Sunday, otherwise there are crowds everywhere, which will destroy the scenery!
7. Pay attention to the environment. We are all educated people, don't we need warning signs? Take the smuggler's trash and don't pollute such a beautiful paradise!
8. Clothing: From October to November, a jacket with a fleece lining will suffice. Electric blankets are usually available at night. The voltage is not strong, but you won't be cold!
9. The nature gallery is beautiful, so depending on the time of arrival, choose to go into the dam to see it or visit it on the way before you leave. Don't miss it!
