CHINA , ZHANGJIAJIE , 张家界 | liewwk

… 齐拜佛光 …

Few nearby tourist locations, I didn’t make all to all the spots as my visit is mainly for photography.

A complex national park , I spent few day to understand the only wulinyuAn pArk.

Buses to different location the interlink need walking and by between the busstop the rod is exist . and no idea why they never make it interlink more convenient

Many walking for bus –elevator interchange (200-400m) . and it is not photography friendly , most of the bus start service 8-830m – 6pm only (sunrise 720m) [someone told me it is due to off peak season and I will check peak season or normal season bus operation hour] so if want to shoot sunrise/sunset need special arrange with extra payment

 

This trip mainly concentrate on wulingyuan which mainly divide by 3 parts YuanJiaJie, (袁家界) Yang JiaJie (杨家界)and TianZhiSan (天子山)

 

Every session need travel by bus, and each part consist few specify beautiful attractions … and mostly walking distance 10-90min with rock broadwalk (up and down and some could be steep) . again most of the spot with different name which need our imagination to match the view and the “rock” appearance .

 

After few days inside the park, we visit many different spots and for me it is just still rocky mountains … but for photography with the pattern and light direction (I didn’t have chance to see any snow, misty) .. we have many oppurnity  to  create some pictures .

 

Food … amazing nice local food by the homestay owner and KFC and McD (McCafe too) available .

 

I stay at a homestay which I think strategy location for no special arrangement for sunrise/sunset. As this location walking distance can shoot sunrise/sunset with rocky mountains  even it is not really the beautiful formation. This homestay owner is a retire teacher who also drawing, photograph … and it share his experience, view about “art” (not only drawing and photograph) … cook us a wonderful chicken soup dinner with his white wine collection (have a good sleep after that 😀 )

 

He has similar thought as mine ..  he say .. a good artist (for photography/drawing) need 3 main “GOOD” [好]

Good View – 好景

Good food – 好吃

Good Person – 好人

He also share what he mean for landscape view and art view (大景与小景) and why do we need balance between to for his point of art … I learn a lot from he and his friend who spend >10 years on CHINA mainland landscape photography .

 

Overall a place need luck , skill, arrangement, experience , stamina and ect  to get this place photograph …

update 2018 June 28

from 2018 CHINA, HUNAN Photohunters tour

this is a long wait of 1.5 day, finally the moment waiting is come… we actually rush, ran , to this spot but the view keep changing for us another 1 hour ++ think everyone should be have good time here
