They symbolize the persistent pursuit of love, exuding a strong sense of romance. Let's take a look at the reed marshes in Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, which make for a stunning sight.

The reed fields at this lesser-known park are a great place to take photos in autumn and winter. The reeds here grow by the water, smoothing the boundary between water and land and adding to the lake's beauty.
There are also waterside metasequoias and maple trees along the water, which dance and sway in the wind. The entire park is built along the water and features attractions such as the Tingfenglin Walkway, Yonglong Embankment, Jiulian Fall, and Taiyang Pavilion.

Notes:
1. Clothing suggestion: We recommend wearing a reed-themed color scheme, warm color scheme, or contrasting colors for better photos.
2. Shooting time: Choose sunny days, between 4 pm and 6:30 pm, especially the hour before sunset, for the best photos.
3. Pose suggestions for photos: For those not used to the camera, try to interact naturally with the reeds, or take photos with your back to the camera.
4. Other suggestions: If you want to improve your portraits, you can use a reflector to lighten the face. You can also use a reflector to create a natural wind effect, or run around to create a feeling of chasing freedom.
