Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking along a canal in Gulao Water Village toward an ancient stone arched bridge with Dayan Mountain and its pagoda rising in the distance, showing banyan branches and wooden sampans in the foreground, the calm canal water, stone bridge, and wok-ear houses in the middle-ground, and the lush green peak of Dayan Mountain fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick banyan canopies of Gulao Water Village, bamboo groves along canals, and the forested slopes of Dayan Mountain.
