if you want a different vibe, try the north bank of the zi river near the old ferry dock at shuangqing park. the light hits the water nice in late afternoon and you get reflections of the bridge and the hills behind it. for something more gritty, the morning market on minzhu road has a lot of character before 8am when it gets crowded with vendors and locals haggling

For street photography, the old alleys around Dongta Road near the Dongta Temple are worth a wander. You get this mix of everyday life and the pagoda looming in the background. If you want a landscape view, head up to the Ziyun Mountain scenic area just outside the city center around sunrise, the mist over the Zi River is pretty dramatic.

honestly the drum tower near the old city wall on renmin road is slept on for night shots. the lights come on around 7 and the whole structure reflects in the wet cobblestones after it rains. for something quieter, the tea terraces at langshan are about an hour drive but worth it if you have a car, the layered green hills in the mist look unreal with a telephoto lens
