Walking Guide

I recommend traveling by subway, and your ID is very important! When you arrive at Tiananmen Square, take photos and walk along the lamp posts to the side. You'll see a floral area around this spot. When you turn back to take a panoramic shot, it should look like the second picture. Take Subway Line 1 to Tiananmen West Station, exit from Entrance B (Northeast), and walk east for 244 meters. Turn right and walk southeast for 216 meters, then turn right and walk south for 394 meters. Turn left and walk east for 61 meters, then turn right and walk south for 42 meters. Turn left and walk southeast for 103 meters, then turn right and walk west for 66 meters to reach Tiananmen Square for your photo session. — step-by-step photo guide
