When the warm spring sunshine illuminates

Shanghai Wusong Paotaiwan National Wetland Park

The wisteria trees in the mining pit garden

Have donned their “purple coat”

Flower clusters cascade in layers

Tumbling down like a waterfall

Their soft hues blending with the bluish-gray rock walls of the mine pit, creating a stunning contrast of delicate beauty and raw power

It’s like stepping into a Monet oil painting

Photography Guide

Light and shadow magic

On cloudy days, try shooting against the light

Letting the wisteria petals emit a hazy glow

On sunny days, aim for the early morning or evening

When the gentle slanting shine casts dappled light through the flower spikes

The profile of a figure standing before the flower waterfall

Would take on a dreamy effect, like a soft-focus filter

Creative composition

Take a single hanging flower spike in the foreground 

Blur the background with a sea of wisteria to create depth of field

Or use the rough texture of the rock walls in the mine pit as the backdrop

To create a visual tension that blends hardness and softness

Dressing suggestions

Light-colored long dresses or Hanfu go best with wisteria

Holding a straw bag or an oil-paper umbrella enhanced the artistic vibe

Don’t get trapped among tall buildings anymore

Take your camera and invite your friends

Come to Shanghai Wusong Paotaiwan National Wetland Park

Feel the poetic charm of “light purple and red coloring the spring days”!

The wisteria in the mine pit garden is already hanging all over the branches

Waiting for you to hit the pause button for this spring
