Photography Tips
Use a flat shooting angle with the stone lion sculpture centered in the frame to highlight the carving details. Include greenery on the right side as a foreground to add depth. Capture the red architectural wall and the painted eaves in the background to showcase the atmosphere of ancient architecture. It's recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the space and make the subject clearer. Ticket price: 25 yuan. You can make an appointment in advance through the "Yonghe Palace Tourist and Congregation Service" public account, and enter the park by swiping your ID card on site, which is very convenient! Opening hours are from 9:00 to 17:00, but ticket checking stops at 16:30, so be sure to pay attention to the time and don't miss out!
