Just got back from Hefei with my 5-year-old, and this itinerary is guaranteed to tire out your little one while letting you snap amazing photos! Enjoy limited-time spring scenery for about 300 yuan per person. Even my husband wants to go back again! 🌸Top 3 Family-Friendly Spots 1️⃣ Luogang Park｜An Urban Picnic Paradise 13,000 acres of sprawling lawn, perfect for flying kites and rolling around! Black swans on the central lake will swim right up to you if you have bread. Bring a tent and bubble machine for some enchanting photos of your child chasing bubbles under the cherry blossoms. You can capture perfect picnic pictures while relaxing. 2️⃣ Hefei 1972｜A Trendy Paradise Built in a Former Prison Highly recommend the mini steam train (20 yuan/person). The chugga-chugga ride past the graffiti walls is super cool! The Sound Museum in the old factory buildings is fascinating; press the buttons to hear the sounds of old Hefei. 3️⃣ Four Seasons Flower Sea｜A Rainbow Carpet of Tulips In early April, 300,000 tulips are in full bloom, like a painter's palette splashed across the landscape! Teach your kids to take overhead shots with their phones, using the flower sea as a backdrop. Solid-color hoodies look great in photos. 🍔Kid-Approved Food ✅ Guanting Road Snack Trio: • Brother Hei's Egg Pancake: The freshly baked crust is incredibly flaky, and adding pork tenderloin is only 7 yuan. • Double Fried Chicken Legs: Two huge legs for 13 yuan, the cumin flavor is so good you could eat it for three days straight. • Sushi Stand Original Roll: Purple rice wrapped around pork floss and cucumber, healthy and filling. 💡Pro Tip: Buy a cup of Kawangka Mango Jasmine Tea to cut through the richness of the snacks. 🎒Mom's Tips｜Avoid the Pitfalls 1️⃣ Luogang Park is packed on weekends! Arrive before 9am on a working day for ample parking. 2️⃣ Mosquitoes are abundant at the Four Seasons Flower Sea. Mosquito repellent patches and long pants are more effective than mosquito repellent spray. 3️⃣ The indoor exhibits at Hefei 1972 are air-conditioned, so bring a light jacket for your child. 4️⃣ Guanting Road food stalls open at 4pm, don't show up at noon expecting to find anything. 5️⃣ Bring a stroller! Hefei's parks have stone paths, making a stroller much easier than a baby carrier. 🌟Cultural Gems｜Fun and Educational Activities 1️⃣ At Hefei 1972's Appliance Museum, have your child look for TVs from their grandparents' generation. 2️⃣ Take the subway to Kaifu Temple to see the red walls and plum blossoms, and tell your child that the mythical creature on the eaves is called "Qifeng Xianren" (Riding Phoenix Immortal). 3️⃣ Buy succulents at Haihui Flower Market and let your child choose their own pot to develop their aesthetic sense. 🚗Easy Itinerary｜Three Days and Two Nights, Stress-Free Day 1: Nature Fun 09:00 Picnic and bike ride at Luogang Park (tandem bikes are 40 yuan/hour) 15:00 Photoshoot at the Four Seasons Flower Sea (bring a reflector for even better results) 18:00 Eat brown sugar rice cakes at Lei Street and watch the lanterns light up.

Hefei Fenglin Road and Ginkgo Road Photo Tips: 🍁Fenglin Road and Ginkgo Road Intersection: A popular photo spot with a large ginkgo forest, many photographers and tourists, and beautiful romantic photos. In addition to the intersection, the section between Changjiang West Road and Fenglin Road has beautiful scenery, with colorful trees on both sides in autumn. ⏰Time Selection 1️⃣Avoid weekends: There are many tourists and vehicles on weekends, which are easy to get congested and parking spaces are tight. Off-peak travel can provide a better experience. Around 8 am, the light is soft, and there are few people and beautiful scenery. Around 5 pm, the light is also soft, but there may be more people. Camera: Sony a7R3 + Tamron 28-200 + Zeiss 40 fixed + DJI Air 3 ⚠️Photo Suggestions 1️⃣Warm color matching suggestions: Khaki coat, which matches the autumn atmosphere, and the photos taken are warm and autumnal. Light colors: White, beige, light brown, and other clothes are clean and refreshing, and they look fresh and refined against the background of ginkgo and maple forests. Avoid yellow: To prevent confusion with the color of ginkgo leaves, try not to wear yellow clothes. 2️⃣Photo poses Cover your eyes with leaves, turn your face slightly, use red leaves as the foreground to take pictures of people, and create a beautiful atmosphere. Walk or sit in the middle of the road, take symmetrical pictures, and show the sense of extension of roads and woods. Back view: Take a picture of the back of a person with a forest or road as the background. 3️⃣Photo props Hats and scarves add a sense of fashion and autumn atmosphere. Transparent umbrella: It can create a light and shadow effect in the sun, and add a romantic atmosphere in rainy days. Books and magazines: Sit under a tree or by the roadside to read and take literary photos. 4️⃣Photography skills Use light: Take backlight or side backlight in the morning or evening to take the light and layering of ginkgo leaves; At noon, you can use top light to shoot leaf details or projections. Choose an angle: A low-angle upward shot can capture the height of the trees and the sky background; A high-angle downward shot can capture the whole picture of roads and woods or the patterns paved by fallen leaves. Pay attention to composition: Use the rule of thirds, symmetrical composition, leading line composition, etc., to highlight the subject and make the picture more beautiful and coordinated.
