Xiaolan Chrysanthemum Festival 2025 Walking Guide: Spend Only 50 Yuan Per Person to Fill 128GB of Memory

Xiaolan Chrysanthemum Festival 2025 is amazing! 😍 Tested an 8-hour weekend walk, this detailed guide teaches you how to shoot the most stunning photos at the lowest cost~📸 📍Location: Yujing Garden, Jucheng, Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province 🌙【Cover Photo Explanation】 Real shot! The 25-meter-tall "Chrysanthemum Goddess" lights up at night and is breathtaking! 😭 The cover shot is from the lakeside platform; it’s recommended to start waiting at 17:50. The blue hour plus lighting effects are absolutely perfect! ✨ 🗓️ Itinerary and Expenses (Tested Best Route) 08:30 Depart Guangzhou 🚗 (1-hour drive / high-speed train plus bus) 09:30 Arrive at Chrysanthemum Garden → Head straight to the "Future Exhibition Area" to shoot tech-inspired floral art 📱 11:00 Pass through the "Modern Exhibition Area" to check in at eight themed gardens 🏡 13:00 Try snacks at Chrysanthemum Food Street (Crispy Carp Noodles + Chrysanthemum Pastry are a must!) 🍜 15:00 "Ancient Exhibition Area" to shoot the Twelve Flower Goddesses + intangible cultural heritage interactions 🎎 18:30 Wait for the Chrysanthemum Goddess lighting moment 🌟 20:00 Night tour of the sea of lights + visit the cultural and creative market 🌈 💰 Play Guide for 110 Yuan Per Person: ✅ Ticket: 30 Yuan (weekend ticket) ✅ Transportation: 45 Yuan round trip on Guangzhou-Zhongshan Expressway ✅ Food: 35 Yuan (Chrysanthemum Feast budget set meal) 🌸 Must-Shoot Check-in Spots: Red and Black List 🔴 Top 3 Red List 1️⃣ Chrysanthemum Goddess: Blue hour + lighting effects = stunning photos! Recommended to wear a light-colored long dress 👗 2️⃣ Twelve Flower Goddesses Light Group: Backlight shots create glowing hair effects, truly fairy-like 🧚 3️⃣ Tech-inspired Mirror Flower Bed: Wide-angle lens captures a time-travel vibe 🔮 🔵 Avoid These: ❌ Shooting flower sea at noon (light too harsh), better between 15:00-17:00 ❌ Weekend 10:00-14:00 crowded main path (East side trail is less crowded and more scenic!) 🍜 Food Recommendations Based on Testing 1. Chrysanthemum Pastry Shop • Freshly baked chrysanthemum pastry (5 Yuan each) with chrysanthemum tea, perfect to enjoy by the lakeside pavilion! 🥮 2. Fisherman’s Flavor Restaurant • Crispy Carp Fish Ball Noodles (15 Yuan), chewy and juicy, a Zhongshan must-try! 🐟 3. Intangible Cultural Heritage Sugar Painting Stall • Custom chrysanthemum pattern sugar paintings (10 Yuan), a perfect photo prop! 🎨 🚗 Transportation and Accommodation Tips • Self-driving navigation to "Xiaolan Chrysanthemum Garden P3 Parking Lot" (arrive before 9 AM for internal parking spots!) • Accommodation Recommendations: 🏨 Xiaolan Town Center Hotel: 200 Yuan/night, 10-minute taxi ride 🏡 Zhongshan City Homestay: 150 Yuan/night, great value combined with Qijiang Night Tour! ⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance Tips 1️⃣ Buy e-tickets in advance via WeChat official account (3 times faster than on-site ticket exchange!) 2️⃣ Bring a small stool + reflector (no need to bend over for low flowers, great for face lighting) 3️⃣ Outfit tip: Avoid red (clashes with flower colors) ❌ 4️⃣ Hidden perk: Get chrysanthemum seedlings at the exit (first 200 visitors daily!) 🌱 Summary of Three Key Points: ☀️ Arrive early and park well 📸 Shoot portraits against the light 💡 Wait for the goddess lighting Interaction Time: Who do you most want to go see the Chrysanthemum Festival with? Tag them in the comments! 💕
