Albertsim, do you mind to share with us your itinerary(LuoPing & Yuan Yang) for that trip? would be best if you could tell us more like....
- Which hotel u stayed?... price& review?
- How to go Yuan Yang & LuoPing?... by train or bus? travel time?
- Where are the best locations for shooting in LuoPing & Yuan Yang?
- Where to find the local transport/tour guide/driver?... price?
- Any good food there
albertsim, May I know which tour group did you join?I would like to know more.
Sorry guys, missed your earlier post. First of all, due to tight timing, our group did not include Luo Ping. Moreover the best timing for shooting Yuan Yang and Luo Ping are quite different.
Another thing to note for Yuan Yang is that it is a place for sunrise and sunset. To get to the best location for sunrise, you will need to get up around 3.30 - 4 am in the morning and half the time, the weather may not be good for photography, so it is advisable to stay a few days in order to have a better chance of getting the sunrise and sunset.
If you guys can read chinese, I will include my chinese version of itin for your reference.
@highspeed: Our is a customised tour, so I do not have a specific answer to your question. I preferred to avoid the hassle of having to look for hotel and transport of doing DIY. However, since it is a customised tour, we get to decided on the itin and to stop the bus along the way if we find suitable shooting location. Apart from this, the tour agent also help us engage a pro photographer from Yuan Yang so he could bring us around Yuan Yang to the best shooting location.
@KHNgEddie: If you are interested in this type of tour, you can speak to Cindy @ 62242112. As it is a customised tour, you may not find the tour readily available. However, if you can find 10+ persons, Cindy will be able to help you make all the arrangement.
