Photography Tips
The model stands by the stone railing in front of the Jade Emerald Pavilion, while the photographer positions themselves at the barrier opposite the small lake in front of the pavilion. 1. Equipment settings: Fuji XH2S, lens 18-55mm. It's recommended to slow down the shutter speed, with the model remaining absolutely still to blur out passersby. 2. Travel tips: Book a slot for entry after 11:00 AM or before 12:00 PM. Try to avoid carrying a backpack and use the no-bag security channel to reduce waiting time.
