Sunset Views and Grassy Fields: A Guide to the Hidden Gem of Foshan

Here's a guide to watching the sunset at Foshan Banyue Island Wetland Park: Preparation • Time: Check the weather forecast and choose a sunny day with no clouds. Arrive early according to the season and sunset time, such as 6–7 pm in summer and 5–6 pm in winter. • What to bring: Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, drinking water, and snacks. If you want to take high-quality sunset photos, bring a camera, tripod, telephoto lens, and other photography equipment. Transportation and Parking • Public transportation: Take Foshan Metro Line 2 to Wanhua Station, transfer to Bus 122 to Qicha Bus Terminal; or take Nanhai Tram Line 1 to the terminal station Linyue East Station. • Driving: Navigate to "Banyue Island Ecological Park Parking Lot." There is a parking lot at the north entrance of the park, which costs CNY 4/hour. Best Viewing Spots • Riverside Greenway: Stroll along the riverside greenway to find a place with a wide view and no obstructions to watch the sunset. You can also use the boats on the river and the buildings on the opposite bank as the foreground to add layers to the picture. • Circular Walkway and Sky Corridor: Located in the Banyue Island Ecological Park area, you can not only enjoy the sunset here, but also integrate the scenery of the walkway and corridor with the sunset to take beautiful photos. • Camping Lawn: There is a large lawn by the river in the park, where you can lay a picnic mat or set up a tent to enjoy the sunset in a relaxing atmosphere. Photography Tips • Use the foreground: Use lighthouses, reeds, trees, etc. as the foreground to add a sense of space and fun to the photo. • Capture movement: Take pictures of boats sailing on the river and birds flying in the sky to make the picture more vivid. • Try different angles: You can shoot upwards to show the colors of the sky, shoot downwards to capture the afterglow of the river, or shoot sideways to highlight the contrast between the sunset and the light and shadow of buildings or trees.
