Photography Tips
The model is sitting on the stone steps, while the photographer stands on the lower step, using the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest as the background, shooting at a low angle to highlight the grandeur of the architecture and the grace of the model. 1. Photography poses: ① Sit sideways on the stone steps with knees bent, one hand resting casually on the knee, the other hand hanging naturally, slightly tilting the head to show a gentle and elegant demeanor. ② Sit upright on the stone steps with legs stretched out, hands supporting the body from behind, looking into the distance, exuding a relaxed and free vibe. 2. Travel tips: ① Opening hours: The park opens at 6:00 AM, the main scenic area opens at 8:00 AM, and closes at 6:00 PM. Light shows are on Fridays and Saturdays, starting around 8:00 PM in summer. To capture scenes with no crowds, enter right when the park opens or just before it closes. ② Ticket prices: A combined ticket costs 34 yuan, including access to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, the Echo Wall, and the Circular Mound. A regular ticket costs 15 yuan. 3. Photography props: Use items like a round fan or an oil-paper umbrella for a great effect in your photos. 4. Dressing suggestions: Wear comfortable shoes for walking. Traditional outfits like Hanfu or cheongsam also look fantastic in photos.
