Hidden photo spot in Changsha to take pictures with Chairman Mao without the crowds!!

Say no to the crowded photo experience at Orange Isle!! Every time I go to Orange Isle, it feels like running a marathon…😭 Walking until I question life, but all I get are photos full of strangers Discovered a hidden gem photo spot!! Few people, beautiful scenery, amazing shots!! 📱Original camera straight-out-of-phone photos look great!! Location✔️ Xiangjiang Riverside Park Open riverside area accessible anytime! Multiple angles along the riverside trail to choose from Easily get a private-level group photo background!! The atmosphere is on point!! 📷Practical tips: 1️⃣ Navigate to West Gate 4 of the park, turn right by the river after entering to arrive~ Best to zoom in 2-3 times on your phone for optimal effect! (Close-up shots still require going to Orange Isle), but this spot is great for environmental portraits with a strong story vibe!! 2️⃣ Be sure to come in the afternoon! Under front light, skin looks clear and the statue is sharp~ (Backlight in the morning makes photos dull!) This hidden spot rarely has lines, so you can shoot empty scenes anytime!! 📍Xiangjiang Riverside Park (near West Gate 4) 🚗 Subway Line 3, Exit 1 at Fubu River Station
