Dongxin·Hechuang Park | A niche retro photography spot in Hangzhou

A niche retro photography spot in Hangzhou. In a nutshell: artistic, retro, photogenic. It's recommended to idle away the afternoon in a cafe and go out for a photo shoot in the evening when the light is soft. A well-known creative park that doesn't require an entrance ticket🎫 and allows free entry. It's an old factory transformed into a place of retro charm, perfect for strolling and street photography. It's also a popular spot for commercial shoots. 📌Spotlight on photo spots: ☕Artistsan: Coffee | Bread | Bookstore | Antique Shop The downstairs is often full, while upstairs is filled with antique furniture, a great place for aesthetic accumulation. This time I ordered a Siddhartha and a Dirty, and the hand-poured coffee was excellent, served in French coffee cups, full of style. The antique shop upstairs has many sculptures, paintings, furniture, and it feels like the owner has carried them back from all over the world. Very cool. 📸Photo angles: Barista brewing coffee/medium shot with a book in hand/movie-like shot on the stairs/front door 🎁Xinzao Craft Store: Handmade | Home Decor | Ornaments A very interesting little shop that basically covers textiles, wood products, pottery, textiles, etc., where you can find nice little gifts for friends. The owner also often participates in markets. 📸Photo angles: Wooden horse at the entrance/chairs/shop slogans ☀️Various paths illuminated by sunlight Around 16:00, the light is very soft, and you can find many great photo angles among the light and shadows, such as sitting at the entrance of an old factory, where the light and shadow leak through, or taking backlit photos in the bushes. Some shops inside 🈲 do not allow photography, especially at the entrance where there are signs prohibiting 🚫 commercial photography, which needs to be noted. 👗OOTD: Retro style, colors can be a bit brighter.
