Photography Tips
The photographer can stand three to four meters to the left front of the subject, using a slightly upward angle. The subject should be positioned on the right side of the frame, with the composition highlighting the main body of the subject to make them appear tall and straight. The trunk of a tree can be used as a frame to enclose the subject, guiding the viewer's gaze towards them, adding interest and formal sense to the image. This also naturally integrates the subject with the background. Apply composition rules like the "rule of thirds" to place Tiananmen in one-third of the frame to enhance visual appeal. Equipment settings: Software DAZZ. Ticket price: Free. Travel tips: It's necessary to make an appointment through a mini-program one day in advance.
Walking Guide
Take the bus number 82 towards Qianmen and get off at Tiananmen East Station.
After getting out of the car, go through the first security check on your right, where they will verify your reservation. Provide the reservation information from the mini-program, then proceed straight.
Walk straight for about 100 meters, then enter the second security check. You will need to present your ID card; if you forgot it, providing your ID number will suffice.
After exiting, walk diagonally left for about 300 meters to reach the National Museum.
The filming spot is about 100 meters in front of the National Museum, under a tree. Alternatively, you can count the trees: after entering the square, head toward Tiananmen Gate and walk to the 7th tree on the east side of the road to reach the spot.
