The Forbidden City - A photo with the red walls, green trees, and palace architecture.

Shoot from a slightly higher position to ensure that the dragon pattern on the front of the bright red glazed plate is clearly displayed. Use a centered composition, placing the plate in the center of the frame to highlight the main pattern and color. Include red porcelain pieces on both sides in the background to enhance the exhibition atmosphere. Keep a simple gray cloth in the foreground that doesn’t distract. Pay attention to adjusting the exposure to avoid underexposure, ensuring that the red glaze remains vibrant.

Using a symmetrical composition, the red walls are evenly distributed on both sides, with a central stone path leading the viewer’s eye to the distant building. The photographer uses a low angle to enhance the towering and depth of the red walls. In the foreground, red railings are included, while the midground features the red walls lining the path. The background captures the distant building and blue sky, with trees on the left adding depth. A wide-angle lens is recommended for this shot. Travel tip: The standard adult ticket is 60 RMB per person.

The photographer is positioned at a slightly lower height from the side front of the building, looking up. The sunlight shining on the building creates a contrast between light and shadow. The illuminated parts clearly show the details of the stone carvings, while the shaded areas add a sense of mystery, enhancing the building's three-dimensionality and texture. The bright colors of the maple leaves outside the windows contrast with the building's rustic tones, enriching the visual effect of the scene. 1. Travel Tips: ① Ticket Prices: Peak season adult ticket $60 per person, off-season adult ticket $40 per person. ② Internal Attractions: Treasure Gallery $10 per person, Clock and Watch Gallery $10 per person. 2.

For a deeper experience, multiple visits are recommended.
