For aerial photography using a drone, it’s recommended to use a wide-angle lens. Position the illuminated twin towers at the center of the frame, ensuring a symmetrical balance on both sides. The composition should include the twin towers, the surrounding cityscape, the distant sea, and the mountain range, all under the moody blue hour sky, enhancing the sense of depth. Travel Tip: Sizhuyuan Valley is near the sea, and the wind can be quite strong in the evenings. Be sure to dress warmly.

Position the model in the center of the lawn, with the photographer standing slightly to the side and in front of the model, shooting at eye level. The lawn and other background elements should each take up about half of the frame. 1. Posing Suggestions: Apart from standing poses, the model can also try sitting poses. When the model sits on the lawn, the camera position should be slightly lower. 2. Travel Tips: ① Opening Hours: Weekdays 12:30-14:00 / Weekends 8:00-18:00; ② Best Shooting Times: Shoot details in the morning / Shoot lighting and shadows in the evening. 3. Photography Props: In the evening when the light is weaker, use a flash. 4. Outfit Recommendations: Wearing Hanfu, Republican-era clothing, or modern Chinese/college styles will look great in photos. 5. Additional Tips: Make a reservation 1-3 days in advance through "Visit Xiamen University"; bring your original ID.
