What A Guilin Photography Tour With Mercier Zeng Like?
If you have questions about whether to opt for a private or group tour, focus on people or landscapes, or have doubts about the experience and friendliness of the photo guides, or whether you can capture the desired photos, read the following summary to alleviate your concerns.
#1 Photograph the most beautiful landscapes under heaven
At 5 am, position yourself on a mountain peak and witness the stunning arrival of the sunrise over thousands of karst mountains. Take photos of the breathtaking sea of clouds that float around the mountains.
Photograph the beautiful sight of the sunset's red glow behind the mountains, while capturing the smoke rising up from dinner in remote villages.
Observe peaceful villages from the mountain and take in the view of the rivers flowing by. Stroll into a quiet village and witness locals farming, with buffalos and ducks in the wetlands.
Embark on an adventure and climb off-the-beaten-track hills to capture unique pastoral scenery through your lens.
#2 Photograph traditional cormorant fishermen
Decades ago, cormorant fishermen were already depicted in some Chinese ink paintings.
Today, you can witness eighty-year-old fishermen demonstrating their traditional method of fishing using cormorants. Capture the golden sunset as it shines through the fishing nets in the air.
As dusk approaches, fishermen light kerosene gas lamps, casting a warm glow on their faces. Take photos of the stunning reflections of the mountains in the river.
#3 Interact with minority people
Explore the old wooden homes of ethnic minority people and capture some of the most authentic and realistic photographs you'll ever take.
Observe women dressed in traditional minority attire as they walk through irrigated terraced fields, and witness local farmers utilizing traditional farming techniques.
Experience a village stay overnight and take pictures of the sunrise over golden rice terraces, with its warm glow shining on flooded fields.
#4 What makes us different?
We believe that every photographer has unique preferences and purposes. That's why we customize our photography tours to meet your needs, creating an authentic and memorable experience that you won't find on a "buy now" tour.
Our goal is to help you come close to the real locals and capture their genuine work through your lens.
Unlike regular guides who work from 9 to 5, we rise early to be the first to reach the mountain top at sunrise and stay until the last ray of light at sunset.
We are more than just camera-carrying photo guides. We are a team of photography enthusiasts who are committed to helping others capture beautiful photos. We understand that photography is more than just taking pictures; it's about capturing memories and telling stories that will last a lifetime.
