The model leans against the bridge railing, and the photographer shoots from a slightly lower angle to ensure the dragon-shaped lighting decoration is fully visible in the background above the model’s right side. It’s recommended to use a 50mm lens on a camera or a 2x zoom on a phone to highlight the model and blur the background lighting, creating a night-time ambiance.

1. Travel Tips: 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM (Best during the blue hour).
2. Outfit Suggestions: Modernized qipao with hairpins, Hong Kong-style velvet little black dress with a pearl necklace and red lips, or street-style oversized hoodie with a beanie and a crossbody bag.
3. Other Tips: Bring a power bank and hand warmers! It can be windy by the lake.
