Refuse tourist photos, even beginners can take exclusive photos of the Temple of Heaven (with tips from experienced photographers

Find a good spot, avoid the peak times, dodge the crowds, and even us newbies can take great photos~ I've already marked the locations on the map, feel free to save it! Escape the crowd and start shooting~ . 1️⃣ Location One (Images 1, 2, 14): Behind the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests! The Rare Gate! Comes with its own door frame! The vermilion door plus the white marble steps and the panoramic view of the Temple of Heaven~ Get your epic phone shot✅ . 2️⃣ Location Two (Image 3): The Prayer Gate (south entrance of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests) This spot captures the front of the Hall! So stunning! This location is the most challenging, get it quickly before the area is cleared 5 minutes prior‼️ . 3️⃣ Location Three (Images 4, 5, 12): In front of the West Annex Hall steps! You can sit on the steps to take photos or capture the entire Temple of Heaven~ You can also use the pillars as a foreground~ Shooting the angle of the building with the Temple of Heaven is also cool! A wide-angle lens is needed, or you can take two pictures and seamlessly stitch them together also🉑️ (Choose based on which side has better lighting, east or west annex) . 4️⃣ Location Four (Images 6, 7, 9) The side of the Temple of Heaven is great for capturing the whole scene! Not too crowded! Image 9 is taken from the stairs on the side! . 5️⃣ Location Five (Image 8): The red wall on the side of the Rare Gate is also beautiful, just take a few steps and snap a shot, it's very🉑️ . 6️⃣ Location Six (Images 10, 11): The spot for the Temple of Heaven when it's lit up, on Fridays and Saturdays the Temple of Heaven lights up from 7-8 pm (timing may adjust depending on when it gets dark) . 7️⃣ Location Seven (Image 13): The North Heavenly Gate frame plus the Temple of Heaven as a background! . ♥️ Friendly Tips: 1️⃣ The Temple of Heaven Park opens at 6 am, the core scenic area at 8 am❗ Closes at 6 pm‼️ The Temple of Heaven is only lit on Fridays and Saturdays, and in summer it's at 8 pm‼️ So if you want to take exclusive photos! Either wait before the gates open to be among the first to enter! Or quickly take your shots before the area closes! I went at around 4 am, strolled around and then quickly took photos 15 minutes before closing! . 2️⃣ It's recommended for first-timers to visit the Echo Wall and the Circular Mound first. Save the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests for last for photos! . 3️⃣ Make sure to wear comfortable shoes🥿, there's a lot of walking! Traditional clothing looks great, but trendy outfits can also make a strong impact! Prepare props like fans, sunglasses🕶️ in advance for posing. . 9️⃣ Tickets: 💰 Combo ticket 34 yuan (includes the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Echo Wall, and Circular Mound), general ticket 15 yuan.
