Photography Tips
The model is leaning against the eastern door frame of the red door, while the photographer uses the door as a frame, with the imperial hall and the eastern side hall as the backdrop. Equipment settings: Fujifilm XH2S, 18-55mm lens. Posing suggestions: 1. Lean sideways against the red door frame, hands in pockets, looking forward. 2. Face the camera directly, leaning against the door frame, and use one hand to play with your hair. Ticket prices: 2 RMB per person. If you want to enter the imperial hall, it costs 10 RMB per person. It's recommended to book tickets a day in advance on Meituan, as there is usually a queue at the site. Best time for photos: It's suggested to shoot between 3:50 PM and 4:30 PM during the golden hour.
