Built in Ink, Preserved in Stone: The Art of Hongcun

#chinatravel 🏮 Night Photography – Lantern Glow & Reflections What to capture: Dimly lit alleys, soft lantern light glowing on water, and reflections at Moon Pond or South Lake. Why it’s special: The village becomes quiet and dreamlike at night, like stepping into a forgotten world. Best time: After 8 PM, when tourists thin out. 📸 Pro Tip: Use a tripod and long exposure to capture low-light reflections and movement of water.
