📷Shooting Location
There are three bridges in the Metasequoia forest. In fact, most of the photos can be taken near these three bridges.
-
▫️The first bridge is built on the lake surface, surrounded by Metasequoia trees. It's suitable for aerial photography and very photogenic. It's the most visited place and the 'Internet-famous bridge' that most tourists will look for when they arrive at Dianwei Village.
How to get there: After leaving the parking lot, you will see a place similar to a police booth. Follow the main road on the left and walk to the second standalone building along the way. There is a very inconspicuous small fork in the road opposite the house. Go around the railing and follow the path to reach the bridge.
The railings on both sides of this bridge are already incomplete. It's somewhat dangerous when it's crowded, so be careful when taking photos. It's suitable for flying drones here. If you don't have a drone, you can stand in the middle of the bridge and take photos of the trees on both sides, or sit on the edge of the bridge and take close-up shots.
-
▫️The second bridge is the one that the car will pass when arriving at Dianwei Village. There are many vendors selling various things on the bridge. The main focus here is to take photos of the Metasequoia forest and the scenery. You can also buy a balloon as a prop for later photos.
-
▫️The third bridge is a short section that you will pass when you leave the parking lot, parallel to the second bridge. There is a speed limit sign on the bridge. You can stand next to the stone pier and take photos with the Metasequoia trees behind you. A little further ahead, there is a small path that leads down to the forest. The forest here is not close to the water, and there are very few tourists, so you can take photos as you like. The cover photo of this note was taken here.

📒Some small tips
-The best time to take photos in the Metasequoia forest is in the early morning and evening. The sun is too strong during the day, making it difficult to control the light. But if it's cloudy, it's also very good, the rising mist will give a more fairyland-like feeling.
-I read in the guide that there are a lot of people on weekends and there will be traffic jams. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and it was not as congested as imagined. You can also take photos without people in the scene if you wait patiently on the bridge. Of course, if you can go earlier on a weekday, you may have a better experience.
-After the tour, you can buy some snacks on the bridge. There are also many mutton rice restaurants in the village at the foot of the mountain that are said to be very good.
-The best time to visit the Metasequoia forest is from December to January. Hurry up and go.
This place is worth a visit! Go every year, every year has a different feeling! Although not far from the city, it can be far from the city's hustle and bustle. It is recommended to leave early and arrive at around 8 o'clock. If you have the opportunity to encounter the morning mist, it is quite beautiful! The road is very good, the scenic spot is currently free of charge, there is a special parking lot, parking fee 10 yuan / day.
Yesterday's Dianwei, is the time-infiltrated leaf, just in between the deep eyes, the years are gentle, the mountains and rivers are drunk. The buddies in Kunming said: Why stay in the house on weekends? ! So in the winter Dianwei, see the intoxicated autumn color.
I saw this net red punch card photography place Dianwei Village Spruce Wetland Park on a certain sound. It is2/30 kilometers away from the city. This time I came to Kunming with time. I took a taxi early in the morning. The village road is narrow and easy to traffic jam. I saw a lot of photographers with long guns and short guns. I was busy shooting. Many drones in the sky are buzzing and flying, the scenery is good, and it is free to open.
It's so beautiful, petty bourgeoisie, it's worth a visit when you have time!

This Metasequoia wetland is located in the upstream of Dianchi Lake and Kunming Songhuaba Water Source Protection Zone. Metaphylls are "living fossils", distributed in the northern hemisphere before the Tertiary, and moved southward to eastern Asia after the Tertiary. Almost all died out after the Quaternary ice age. Until the 1940s, scientists discovered this "androgynous" "hermaphrodite plant" in Lichuan, Hubei, and its junction with Hunan and Sichuan, and quickly spread to the world.
