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 …

from 2018 CHINA, HUNAN Photohunters tour
