December at Erhai! Enter the real-life version of "Little Forest" redwood secret realm!

Today I struck gold by the shore of Erhai!! Navigated to "Canghai Yishu," accidentally stumbled upon a secluded redwood forest🌲 Cangshan Mountain as the backdrop, Erhai as the mirror, redwood shadows dappled and reflected on the water, every shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece🎞️! 📍 Location: Erhai Ecological Corridor (near Dazhuang Primary School line) 🚗 Transportation: 20 minutes by electric scooter from the Old Town, or take the Erhai sightseeing bus to Fumeiyi Station ✨ Highlights: ✅ Dawn redwoods meet the lake: redwoods half-hanging over Erhai, branches dipped in turquoise waves, light and shadow interwoven like an oil painting🖼️ ✅ Shadow secret realm: light spots jump through the forest, wear a light-colored long dress or vintage outfit, instantly transform into a forest fairy👗 ✅ Few people, great shots: avoid the crowds at Longkan Pier, secret spots for you to shoot until your phone dies📸 ⏰ Best time: before 4 PM! When the sunlight slants, redwoods turn golden; after 4 PM clouds thicken and overexposure is likely 📌 Tips: ▫️ Wear beige/chestnut tones for harmony with the redwoods ▫️ Bring a reflector! The water reflections are perfect for symmetrical compositions ▫️ It’s windy, remember to wrap up; keeping warm on the way back at dusk is key❄️ December is the most brilliant season for the redwoods, the whole forest looks like burning flames🔥 Hurry up (Text inspiration: description of Erhai redwood forest scenery, transportation and outfit suggestions)
