How to get there

This image is of the Yan'an W Road and the basketball courts of the Yantian Greenland Community. You can fly a drone from the nearby pedestrian paths. As you arrive near the GPS coordinate you'll see the basketball courts. By Metro: - Closest Station: Loushanguan Rd (Line 2) - Take a right on Tianshan Rd - Take a left on Yan'an West Rd where you'll be able to walk up to the orange-colored pedestrian path

Tips

When to go

Best season

April, May, June, July, August

Best time

Late afternoon, Sunset
Capture the lush greenery surrounding the basketball courts from April to August.
Visit from late-afternoon to sunset to bring out the colors from the scene. That said, photographing at night would also be great since the basketball courts illuminate and you could capture light trails from the passing traffic.

Field tips

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.
Experiment with different ways of having the highway cross your frame. I positioned it to run from the bottom to the right side of my image.
Yan'an W Road is part of a very busy intersection. Fly your drone around and see what creative angles you can find!
