2️⃣📸Amazing Photo Spots
①Photo spot for those who aren't afraid of heights🤍: The Cliff Walk on the Xiangyun Observation Deck costs 💴40 and requires advance booking‼️ You can borrow a copy of National Geographic China from the staff (the cover and pages 52/53 feature Youlong Bay). The photographer should stand behind the subject, near the curved corner, to take the photo.
②Photo spot for those who are afraid of heights💛: Walk further along the Xiangyun Observation Deck to the camping chairs. This spot is also great for photos. Hold the magazine, lean against the railing, show your profile, and have someone take a photo from above your head, angling the shot to capture you, the magazine, and Youlong Bay.
③Scenic photo spot for those who prefer not to be in photos❤️: The Xiangyun Observation Deck (currently free access) offers unobstructed views of Youlong Bay from the glass railing.
