What guided this image
Landmarks
Taibao Mountain; Qing Dynasty Yulong Bridge; Tengchong; Dianxi; Arabica; Gaoligong Mountains; lush subtropical flora; Tea Horse Road
Viewpoint
Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from Taibao Mountain looking across the city basin toward the Gaoligong Mountains, showing ancient pine branches and temple roofs in the foreground, the peaceful valley town and coffee terraces in the middle-ground, and the towering, misty green peaks of the Gaoligong range in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick primary subtropical rainforest of the Gaoligong Mountains, Taibao Mountain pine woods, and terraced coffee slopes.
Guarded against
Avoid confusing Baoshan with coastal Shanghai's Baoshan District (this is the ancient prefecture-level city of Baoshan in western Yunnan!).
