Drones are recommended for wide-angle shots to capture city walls, roads, architectural complexes, distant mountains, and sky clouds, showcasing the cityscape and natural layers. Try shooting from nearby high points with the camera.

Travel tips: Choose cloudy weather to contrast clouds with buildings, enhancing the richness of the scene.

Capture the panoramic view of Xi'an's city wall, urban area, and the Qinling Mountains together using a wide-angle lens of 35mm or less. Choose a day with clear weather for the best effect. The city wall is lit around sunset, so plan your shoot accordingly to capture the blue hour ambiance with the illuminated wall. For an even better perspective, a drone can provide a high-angle view, and a 1x wide-angle shot will suffice.
