Photography Tips
Use an upward shooting angle, framing the yellow roofs of the Forbidden City with the flowers and branches in the foreground. Employ foreground composition by placing the flower branches on both sides of the frame to add depth. Ensure the full view of the roof and parts of the architectural structure are retained, with the background slightly blurred. Travel Tip: Admission is 60 RMB.
