It is recommended to use a standard lens to capture the atmosphere of the Forbidden City in snow. In the foreground, include the snow-covered stone walls, and in the mid-ground, have the model stand sideways against the wall, one hand resting on the wall and the other gently lifting her hair accessory. In the background, capture the corner tower and red walls to enhance the sense of depth.

Other tips: Avoid peak hours to dodge crowds and plan your visit during off-peak times.
