Photography Tips

Use a centered composition to ensure that the ancient building's gateway is located in the center of the frame, highlighting its symmetrical beauty. Shoot from a low angle to better showcase the grandeur of the Forbidden City's gate, while incorporating the blue sky and white clouds in the background to add a fresh and spacious feel to the image. Use a wide-angle lens to include the red walls on both sides of the gate, adding depth and atmosphere to the shot. 1. Travel Tips: Choose a clear day for your visit, as the blue sky enhances the photo effect during the day. 2. Other Tips: ① Try to enter the Forbidden City before 8:30 AM or after 1:00 PM to avoid peak hours; ② The Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, so be sure to book your ticket in advance to avoid a wasted trip; ③ When shooting, try to avoid cluttered or crowded moments to enhance the purity of the image.
