Photography Tips
The model can lean against the stone railing on the far left of the stairs. The photographer can stay below the stairs, shooting upward or parallel to the left, or can shoot directly from the stairs of the Huangqian Hall. Equipment settings: Fuji X-H2S, 18-55mm lens. Posing suggestions: 1. Lean back against the stone railing, place one hand on the railing, and look to the side. 2. Place both hands on the railing, leaning to the side. 3. Stand sideways against the railing, looking forward. Ticket prices: 10 RMB for the main entrance, 20 RMB for the Qiniandian, and 28 RMB for the combined ticket. It is recommended to choose dark or contrasting clothing to highlight the layers between the person and the background. The model can lean against the railing, facing sideways or directly toward the camera, with the sign and architectural details of the Huangqian Hall prominently in the background.
Walking Guide
Take Line 5 of the subway and get off at the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven Station, Exit A2. After exiting, turn right and walk 90 meters to reach the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven Park.
Continue straight ahead to the Qiniandian Ticket Gate.
Turn right after ticket check to go to the Ancient稀Gate. (Note: "古稀" is not a common term and does not have a direct translation in English. If "古稀门" is a specific name, it would be better to keep it as is or provide a more context-specific translation. For example, if it refers to a gate that is very old, you could say "Ancient Gate" instead.) If "古稀门" is a proper name, the translation should be: Turn right after ticket check to go to the Guxi Gate.
After passing through the East Gate ticket checkpoint, walk straight along the avenue for 700 meters.
Go straight until you see the sign in the picture, then turn left. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest is just 10 meters ahead.
