Photo strategy:
Now the Forbidden City is the peak season, and there are many people every day. If you take photos according to the regular route, it will only be crowded with people who want to take pictures of the Forbidden City, as if they were chartered. The most important thing is the time to enter the park! It is very important to grasp the time of entering the park! Opening hours in peak season: 8:30- 17:00, and opening hours in low season: 8:30- 16:30. Please pay attention to closing every Monday! Please make sure that the admission time is no later than one hour before closing.
You will see the vast crowd walking out, and the square in front of Taihe is gradually empty. At this time, the sunset has just hung in the west, and the golden sunshine has covered the Forbidden City with a layer of gold, absolutely beautiful!
Taihe Gate is very close to the entrance, with good shooting effect and high efficiency! If you don't just visit for taking pictures, it is highly recommended here, and there is a winding Jinshui River next to it. The photos taken are full of lines, and the sunset hits the water, sparkling and beautiful!
Located on the east side of the Forbidden City, you can take a beautiful sunset from the side without being blocked by shadows. Most tourists in Taihe Gate will not stay in Taihe Gate for too long, which is convenient for us to shoot empty movies! You can wear Hanfu or Manchu flag dress, which is very distinctive!
Finally, I wish you all a happy time and take a beautiful photo of your circle of friends!
