Experience the winter atmosphere in Beijing, a summary of excellent photo spots around the Drum Tower

🍡The Drum Tower in winter is full of life 🏮Crowded and bustling ⛸The Shichahai ice rink is also packed with people ☀️The afternoon sun in winter combined with the atmosphere of the Drum Tower is perfect 📷The best time to take photos is from 2pm to 4pm ‼️Since there are always a lot of people, here are 4️⃣ recommended photo spots and tips 💯Few people, good light, and a great atmosphere 1️⃣The front angle of the Drum Tower, between the Huali Jie video game store and Changying Three Brothers, is the best spot. You can capture a complete view of the Drum Tower and avoid other people 🌷Also, if you're taking photos on the sidewalk, try to stay close to the flower beds by the curb, take half-body shots, slightly upward, and zoom in 2-3 times on your phone 📮Tip: Sometimes when there are fewer people and cars, you can take photos in the bike lane. It's relatively safe because there are parked cars in front, and both full-body and half-body shots work well 2️⃣The front spot of the Drum Tower, the street sign of Drum Tower West Street and the zebra crossing This is a great spot, but it's usually crowded. If you come on a weekday, definitely take a shot! If it's crowded, it's better to give up 3️⃣The second spot is on the left side of the Drum Tower, where you can capture the entire side of the Drum Tower and another super photogenic zebra crossing. Plus, there are no cars constantly driving by, so it's safe. The sunlight here at 3pm is also great! 4️⃣Don't just take photos of the Drum Tower, the grey Bell Tower at the back is also very beautiful! 🍃Use the small alley as the main scene, with the Bell Tower as the background, combined with the sunlight and trees, it's also very beautiful, and there are very few people here! 🧡These are the four free, less crowded, and super photogenic spots I've recently found 🍭🍢🍬Experience the winter atmosphere in Beijing, with the sweet smell of candied hawthorns filling the air Drum Tower
