Photography Tips
The photographer stands across the street, capturing the scene from a low angle looking up, enhancing the towering sense of the building and the dynamic effect of the characters. Place the orange-red brick building and the characters in the center of the frame to highlight the visual focus of the subject. 1. Dressing Suggestions: It is recommended to wear light-colored cheongsams or French-style dresses, paired with straw bags. Due to the long cobblestone road, it is essential to wear flat shoes. 2. Travel Tips: The best photography time is suggested to be from 7:00 to 10:00 in the morning or from 16:00 to 19:00 in the evening. It is advised to avoid shooting between 12:00 noon and 15:00, as some parts of the road may lack shade. 3. Other Experiences: It is recommended to stroll or cycle here on a sunny day for a pleasant experience. During the visit, pay attention to the historical plaques on the walls. You can scan the QR codes to learn about the past and present of the buildings. When the streetlights come on, the bas-reliefs of the buildings will have a more film-like feel under the warm light.
