It is recommended to use a standard lens to clearly capture the actions, clothing details, and architectural elements, ensuring a natural aspect ratio and a true-to-life representation of the spatial relationship and interaction between people. 1. Travel Tips: Admission is 60 RMB per person, hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with the last entry at 4:00 PM. 2. Other Experiences: ① At the Cui Guo Zhang乎 spot by the Changtai Gate, take photos quickly as security may tell you that kneeling is not allowed. ② You can follow the recommended photo spots, but it’s not necessary to be exact, as the Forbidden City is very large.
