1. Props: Use the doves in the square as natural props, with feed available for 5 yuan per bag.
2. Additional Tips: The National Museum of China looks especially stunning during the evening when the sun sets. The golden hour, one hour after sunrise or two hours before sunset, offers the softest light. Do not bring lighters or selfie sticks, and remember to bring your ID.
