Try more low-angle or high-angle shots on the overpass.
For low-angle shots, use a 40 or 50mm focal length, or 2x on a phone for full body or half-body shots; it looks great and helps avoid clutter, making the sky appear cleaner. If shooting close-ups or portraits, use a focal length of 70mm or above, or 3x on a phone, and capture some small dynamic movements for great shots.
Avoid full-body shots from a high angle as it can make people look shorter. If you must shoot a full body, opt for funny actions and expressions to create interesting photos. Capture half-body shots while walking or running for better results.
Beneath the overpass, there's a small field of daisies, next to the railway tracks where trains pass by, giving off a strong Japanese vibe.
1. Travel tips: Recommended time is 15:00-16:00 when the side lighting is beautiful.
2. Photography props: Choose according to your shooting style, such as vintage camcorders, CCDs, books, school bags, balloons, lollipops, etc.
3. Outfit suggestions: Jk, Japanese style, and vintage.

Nanhuan & Jianye crossing – pedestrian bridge

Using a low-angle perspective, focus on the cityscape at night, employing symmetrical composition to combine the lit twin towers with the glowing arch bridge below and its reflection on the water. A standard lens will clearly capture the architectural lighting and the structure of the arch bridge. By using the water's reflection, the symmetry and depth of light and shadow in the image are enhanced, creating an atmosphere of bustling yet tranquil modern urban nights. This showcases the beauty of the integration of architecture and landscape.

Recommended shooting time: Visit in the evening.

China Hangzhou Low-Carbon Museum – Hangzhou Yin night view

The photographer is positioned slightly above and behind the subject, capturing the scene from a high angle. By using the foreground composition technique, elements such as benches and low roadside walls are included to add depth to the image. A mid-telephoto lens is employed to slightly blur parts of the background, emphasizing the main subject.

1. Travel tips: It is recommended to go early when there are fewer people, which will result in a better picture quality.
2. Outfit suggestions: Light and bright colored clothing will photograph better.

1. Angle of Position: The photographer stands on one side of the flower cluster, maintaining a certain distance from the figures on the path, allowing for the inclusion of both the large hydrangeas and the figures in the frame.

2. Composition Technique: The path serves as a leading line, extending from the bottom of the frame towards the figure, adding depth and narrative to the image.

3. Lens Recommendation: It is suggested to use a telephoto lens. A telephoto lens can compress space, reducing the sense of distance between the foreground hydrangeas and the figure, while also appropriately blurring the background elements such as roads and vehicles, highlighting the subject and avoiding distortions that may occur with wide-angle lenses.

1. Travel Strategy: Admission is free.

2. Photography Props: A book, a straw hat.

3. Other Experiences: The blooming period is from late May to mid-June.
