Photography Tips
The model should stand on the steps, as close to the pillar as possible, being careful not to block the view of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests behind. The photographer should stand below, diagonally opposite, and shoot upwards.
Walking Guide

After getting your ticket checked, head to the left front and go to the southernmost part of the West Annex Hall.

Turn left and walk 10 meters to reach the entrance of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest.

The best spot for photos is at the top of the southern stairs, right next to the southernmost column.

Take the Line 5 subway and exit at the A2 entrance of Tian Tan East Gate Station. After exiting, turn right and walk 90 meters to reach the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven Park.

After passing through the East Gate, walk straight for about 700 meters, and you will see the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests on your left.
