06:37
Arrive at the Million Sunflower Garden before the sun breaks the horizon. The park is vast, so give yourself time to find a quiet spot near the edge of the fields where the imported Japanese sunflowers are facing west.
07:07
Watch the sunrise at 07:07. As the sun sets toward the WSW, the golden light starting at 17:29 is not relevant here, but the early morning sun will cast long, soft shadows across the white and yellow petals. This is the clearest moment for photography before the midday glare hits.
07:52
Head back to the entrance or a nearby local street for breakfast. Since there are no specific food shops listed inside the context, check the route to the nearest town center or street vendor for fresh congee or soy milk to warm up after the early start.
Local tip
The garden covers 260,000 square meters. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket for the early morning chill.
