🌉Sri Lanka Nine-Arch Bridge Photography Guide|Beautiful Jungle Train, every photo looks like a Hayao Miyazaki movie

If you come to Sri Lanka and don’t take a photo of the Nine Arch Bridge, it’s like you haven’t been to Alice’s jungle world. This “Nine Arch Bridge” located in the small town of Ella is hidden between the green forest valley. When the train passes through the bridge, it is so beautiful that it seems unreal, as dreamy as an animation scene. 🕐Best shooting time & train passing time (need to confirm the daily schedule) It is recommended to arrive between 6:00-8:30 in the morning or 4:00-5:30 in the afternoon. The light is soft and the photos in the fog are more fairy-like It is recommended to ask the local accommodation one day in advance about the train time. There may be slight errors every day Common flights: about 6:30/9:30 in the morning, about 3:30 in the afternoon (depending on the route) 📸TOP 5 recommended photo positions: ① 🔝High point for viewing the bridge side (the most classic composition) From the hillside, you can take a long-distance shot of the entire bridge + train into the composition It is recommended to use a wide-angle or 0.5x lens to take the overall perspective. The red and blue colors of the train contrast with the green mountains and forests, which is very layered ⚠️Go up the mountain early to reserve a spot. There are many people at popular camera positions ② 🛤️Portraits on the bridge (before the train arrives) Before the train arrives, you can walk on the bridge to take photos of people. The arc of the rails + arch bridge has a special sense of extension It is recommended to stand in the middle and look far away, and the walking movements and back view composition are all good-looking Pay attention to the sound of the train, and be sure to leave the bridge immediately when you hear the whistle! Safety first ③ 🌿Jungle perspective under the bridge (unpopular niche) Walk into the forest from the trail below and shoot the entire bridge from above. You can capture the epic feeling of the bridge pier + human figure + train passing through Suitable for taking silhouettes, and the composition is very shocking There is a trail leading to the bottom of the bridge, and it is safer to wear non-slip shoes 🧭How to get to Jiukong Bridge? Location: Nine Arch Bridge, Demodara How to get there from Ella town: 🚶♀️Walk for about 30 minutes, depart from Ella Railway Station or Ella Flower Garden Resort 🛵10 minutes by motorcycle / 🚙300-500 rupees by tuk-tuk The route is mostly forest trails, it is recommended to go during the day, wear sports shoes or non-slip shoes! #九孔桥 #Sri Lanka Check-in #Ella Must Go #Train Through the Bridge #Railway in the Forest #Travel Photography Spot #SriLankaTravel #One of the World's Most Beautiful Railways #Jungle Train #Must-Shoot for Railway Fans
