Photography Tips
Use the pillars of the long corridor as a natural frame to capture the white jade balustrade and the distant red walls in the picture, adding depth and layers. In autumn, you can also use the ginkgo trees as the foreground. 1. **Best Time to Shoot**: It’s recommended to choose the early morning hours on a weekday. At this time, there are fewer visitors, allowing you to find the perfect angle more easily and avoid crowd interference. The soft light in the morning also enhances the texture and colors of the scenery. 2. **Travel Tips**: When entering the park, use the west gate, which is closer to the waterside corridor, to minimize walking and reach your shooting location quickly to capture the best moments.
Walking Guide
Walk along the廊way for about 100 meters. (Note: Since "廊" (long2) does not have a direct English equivalent, it’s often translated as "corridor" or "walkway" depending on the context. Here I used "walkway" as it seems more fitting for a scenic or garden setting.) Final translation: Walk along the walkway for about 100 meters.
Turn right after you enter the door.
Go straight to the end and then turn left.
Enter through the West Gate of Zhongshan Park.
