< p>In order to better visit Pingjiang Road, you can take a look at this tour route, which will be introduced in detail (the red dots on the picture are all)

Most of the Pingjiang Road tour routes recommended online are It is a straight line, and there is no detailed plan for everyone on how to go. The route I recommend is an actual route we have taken ourselves, and it is absolutely reliable~

Tips: Pingjiang Road tour time is 3-4 hours. However, the beautiful scenery of Pingjiang Road is actually mainly concentrated on the east bank of the Pingjiang River. If you have limited time, follow my route and you can complete the tour in about 2 hours. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery, but you can also take photos. Lots of high quality photos. If you have enough time and energy, you can take a leisurely walk around the Pingjiang River, but if you want to take good photos, it is recommended to take this route we recommend for you.

Pingjiang Road is an old street that can be accessed from both the north and the south. The editor will use the south entrance as the starting point to share the tour route with you. This route is relatively long, so I will cut it into three parts and introduce them one by one. I will explain it in detail with the photos I took with my mobile phone:

Route ①: Cat’s Sky City, Pingjiang Impression Surroundings

Route 2: Su Fei Cheese, Bluestone Bridge Surroundings

Route 3: Cat’s Sky City, Yuzhijia Tea Life Surroundings

Details below Let me introduce to you:

Route ①: Cat’s Sky City, Pingjiang Impression Surroundings

Tour distance: about 500 meters

Best photo spots: 20

Tour time: 30 minutes

The Pingjiang monument near the south entrance of Pingjiang Road is the earliest existing city plan and is a major feature of Pingjiang Road. It is a must-see when visiting Pingjiang Road Go here to take a look. The various teahouses (Pingjiang Impression) and small shops (Cat's Sky City, Heyan Cheongsam) around it are also good places to take photos and check in.

However, many people take the wrong route, and most of the photos on their mobile phones look like this:

▲Counterexample photos

Actually, the photos are not good. The biggest problem is that you are viewing these beautiful scenery from the wrong location and angle. In and around Pingjiang Tubei Pavilion, if you can follow my route and find a good photo angle, you can definitely take better-looking photos than this one. I will share the route with you, and I will show you the photos that can be taken along the way.

The route is as follows:

Enter from the south entrance of Pingjiang Road and walk about 120 meters north to see the Pingjiang Picture Stele Pavilion, which has white walls, gray tiles and hexagonal shapes. The window frame has a Jiangnan garden feel. We can let our friends stand in the window and take a portrait:

When taking the photo, pay attention to the symmetrical composition and include the eaves in the picture.

After taking photos, the next attraction is the City in the Sky. However, on the way there, we will pass by many quaint teahouses and small shops. Their signs and plaques look great when paired with the mottled white walls. When you pass by these small shops, you can take a few more photos: < /p>

You must find this angle. I have marked the location on the map for everyone~

If you follow my route, you will also see sand accumulation along the way. The antique windows next to the pavilion, sometimes the light and shadow will form many beautiful spots here. If the time is right, I recommend you to check in here:

After visiting these small shops along the way, you have to go to route ① The core area is Cat’s Sky City. When you arrive at Maokong, don’t rush into the store. There are many interesting signs and decorations around it. You can check in and take some photos like this:

Route ① In this area, don’t We stayed too long, 30 minutes is enough. We need to maintain our strength and rush to the next attraction. Route ② is unlocked.

Route 2: Su Fei Cheese and around Qingshi Bridge

Tour distance: about 1 km

Best photo spots: 22 places

Tour time: 60 minutes

Qingshi Bridge is located at the east end of Nanshizi Street, south of Zhongan Bridge and north of Shengli Bridge (Jiqing Bridge). Starting from the southernmost Yuan Bridge, it is the sixth bridge on the Pingjiang River. It runs east-west and crosses Pingjiang River. When you come to Pingjiang Road, don’t forget to walk across the Bluestone Bridge.

But many people when visiting Pingjiang Road only know a straight line heading north, and directly ignore the Qingshi Bridge. The Pingjiang Road you took with your mobile phone is likely to look like this:

▲ Counterexample photos

Actually, the reason why you took the photo like this is because you didn’t find the most beautiful photo spot. I helped you sort out the route ② "Best Photo Spot" and strung it into a route. For your reference.

The route is as follows:

Qingshi Bridge, Su Fei Cheese, Songhe Tower and other beautiful check-in points are all on this route. The red dots on the map are some suitable A good location for taking pictures. As long as you find these spots and take pictures, you can take good pictures.

We continue to walk north along route ①. When passing by Haner Hotel, we can look up and take a photo like this:

The most important area of ??route ② is the Bluestone Bridge , but it’s boring to take pictures of a bare bridge. If you want to take a good picture of it, you can try to stand on the bridge and take a long shot:

After taking this picture, don’t rush forward yet, lower your head and look Look at the water surface, raise your phone and click a picture:

Does this photo have an oil painting-like feel? It’s difficult to look at, but it’s actually very easy to take, as long as you capture the entire reflection of the bridge in the water. , flipping the photo later can produce such an effect. I don’t use any powerful photography skills. I just found these photo locations and angles to take better-looking photos.

I don’t know if you have noticed that while traveling along route ②, we will encounter a lot of literary and art shops. The walls and sculptures around the shops are very unique. However, shooting them alone is very boring. If you want to take good photos, you must remember to let the characters fully interact with these elements. However, interaction involves posture issues. Don’t use the same scissor hands... Let me give you some examples:

Pensive style:

Funny style:

p>

Female style:

Temperable style:

Domineering style:

Casual and natural style:

Anyway, on Pingjiang Road When you encounter a special shop, remember these postures and styles I taught you, and you can take beautiful photos. The photo spots of these scenes are also distributed on the route I just took, which will definitely make you feel that your run was not in vain~< /p>

Finally, a small question: many people who take route ② only take the east bank of the Pingjiang River, just like the black line in the picture below:

If you take the black route, You won’t be able to see or take photos of the beautiful scenic spots on the west bank. Although the distance is shortened, what’s the point of visiting Pingjiang Road like this? Therefore, when you come to Pingjiang Road, you must remember to take the route I recommend to you ②, from the small bridge near Haner Hotel to the west bank of the river, visit the check-in points I recommended, and then return to the east bank to continue playing, it will be a worthwhile trip. OK.

After visiting route ②, 2/3 of Pingjiang Road has been visited. Continue walking to unlock route ③.

Route ③: Cat’s Sky City, Yuzhijia Tea Life and Surroundings

Tour distance: about 1 km

Best photo spots: 19 places< /p>

Tour time: 30 minutes

There are two Maokong on Pingjiang Road. The editor’s favorite is the one on route ③. "Maokong" was born on Pingjiang Road. The store sells four categories of books: travel, art, picture books, and literature. The small and fresh store decoration is also loved by tourists and has long become the iconic feature of Pingjiang Road. There are also many small shops with petty bourgeoisie sentiments scattered around it, all of which are good places worth recommending.

However, the angles suitable for taking pictures in many small shops are relatively hidden. If you don’t follow my route, you are likely to ignore them and miss the good scenery of the streets. In the end, you can only end the trip like this:

▲Counter-example photos

In fact, if you can follow my route, you can take better photos than this. I will share the route with you, and I will share the photos you can take along the way. I will show it to everyone, as follows:

There are not many places suitable for taking pictures on route ③, mainly concentrated in Cat’s Sky City. The position of the red dot can ensure that you can take better photos of route ③. I I selected a few pictures to enlarge and look at with you.

Following route ③, the first thing we passed was Maokong. There are many literary and fresh tables, chairs and books on the upper floor of Maokong, which is especially suitable for us to take some literary photos. For example, you can sit in front of a table and pretend to be meditative and take a picture like this:

You can also use a book to half-cover your face and take a picture like this:

After shopping in Maokong, continue walking north along the route. I passed by Yuzhijia Tea Life. Although I didn’t go in, I found a good angle to take pictures of the surrounding scenery, like this:

This photo was taken while standing on the Hu Xiangsi Bridge , you must find the angle correctly, I have marked the position on the picture for everyone.

Continuing to walk forward from Yuzhijia, you will pass by Pingjiang Pier. It may not look like anything during the day, but it is a good location to take photos of night scenes. If you happen to catch up with nightfall on Pingjiang Road, don’t forget to take a photo like this:

When taking the photo, be sure to bring the lake into the frame to create a better reflection.

Finally, when we are about to leave Pingjiang Road, at the north entrance of Pingjiang Road, we can take one last photo of the small bridge and flowing water as a souvenir:
