Student's Day Trip to the Three Gorges Waterfall: Take Stunning Photos

This place cured my mental fatigue! [Schoolbag] Preparations Before You Go 1⃣ Raincoat + waterproof bag (CNY 5): "Thickened raincoat" in bright yellow (looks great in photos!) 2⃣ Clogs + old socks: The perfect anti-slip, anti-blister combo (trust me, it doesn't hurt when you fall) Instantly turns into slippers to wear back to the hostel after playing in the water. 3⃣ Dorm snack pack: Bring bread, spicy sticks, and crispy noodles. We poor students will never admit defeat. 4⃣ Windbreaker: Waterproof and warm, and can also be used as a photo prop. [SunGlasses] Photo Tips (with captions) 1⃣ Center Shot of You Walking Through the Waterfall: At 2pm, squat on the right side of the waterfall. The sun shines at an angle and you'll have a 90% chance of capturing a rainbow! Caption: "Youth has no price, be crazy in the moment 🌈" 2⃣ Atmospheric Shot by the Stream: Take off your shoes and stand on the shallows. Take a photo against the light of your feet stepping on the flowing water. It's even better if your hair is wet! Caption: "The splashes at 20 are clearer than tears 💧" 3⃣ Silhouette Shot in the Cave: Turn on your phone's portrait mode, Stand sideways in the cracks of the rock wall, and instantly transform into an adventure movie! Caption: "Asking the mountains for freedom 🌿" [Mountain] Real Experience of Walking Through the Waterfall The sound of the water is as loud as a calculus teacher calling attendance. The icy mist blurs your face— "Is this really walking through a waterfall? It's clearly nature's slap therapy!" The moment my roommate and I were soaked, we screamed under the waterfall. Anyway, the sound of the water is loud enough, so we introverts finally dared to let loose! [Cry] Tips to Avoid Disasters 1⃣ Don't buy electric car tickets: Hiking 5 km is the best part—the sound of the stream is the background music. 2⃣ Beware of phone assassins: Hold your phone tight when walking through the waterfall. 3⃣ Wake up early and be happy: Rush into the scenic area before 8:30am and take over the deserted waterfall (Never mind if you like to sleep in) [GoForIt] Finally, to my peers: Some people always say, "I'll travel when I have money," But the recklessness of being 20, the soaked T-shirt, the screams under the waterfall, These moments are the unique madness of youth. "Exchange a conversation with the mountains and rivers—this is worth it!" [ThumbsUp] [Surprising] Did you scream when you walked through the waterfall? Share your photos in the comments!
