The lawn here is very large! There are many spots to take photos, and there are not many people here on weekdays. Even fewer people know that you can take night photos here! It's really suitable for people who like to take a walk and take photos at night! 2️⃣Photos of a single person, a couple, or a group of friends will all look great! Remember to focus on the city night view and blur the people for a better atmosphere!! 3️⃣Remember to bring mosquito repellent~ After taking night photos, you can go down the mountain from Lianquan Gate or the South Gate.

#11月好去地方2024 The starting point of the "Mount Davis" hiking trail was originally at the Admiralty, and the end point was near the west gate of Mount Davis. The entire trail is about 3 kilometers of stone slabs and requires a vertical climb of more than 200 meters. The first 80% of this hiking trail is relatively easy to walk on, and the uphill road is not too steep. But the last 20% are all stairs. I counted them and there are about 900 steps. It was a bit breathless to walk there. However, it took me only about an hour to walk the whole way. The air along the entire hiking trail is particularly fresh, and the trees on both sides are lush and green, making it feel like walking through a forest. Walking on this hiking trail is really a pleasure. If you also like outdoor sports, you might as well challenge this hiking trail and feel the beauty of nature.
