Photography Tips
The photographer stood at the wall and used the rule of thirds for composition, placing the building at the one-third mark of the frame. By utilizing the symmetry of the building, the image appears balanced and harmonious. The calm water in the foreground contrasts with the building in the background, reflecting it beautifully. Using a wide-angle lens and shooting from a high angle, the photographer captured autumn leaves, people, and the river surface. Ticket Price: To enter the Forbidden City, the ticket costs 40 RMB per person (advance reservation required). Opening Hours: The Forbidden City is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (closed on Mondays).
