2⃣ Pilgrimage Road
There are many pavilions along the entire pilgrimage road, such as Daoguan Gujin Pavilion, Jinsheng Yuzhen Pavilion, and Demu Tiandi Pavilion. They all seem to silently praise Confucius and Confucian culture, making people feel his cultural atmosphere🧡.

📸【Photography tips】
1⃣: Use various eaves, corridors, windows, and thresholds as foregrounds to increase the depth of the picture, enrich the content of the picture, and present more sense of story!
2⃣: Find the central axis of the Confucius Temple and take a symmetrical composition
3⃣: Shoot small scene details. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun casts the shadows of the ridge beasts on the roof and the shadows of the trees onto the palace wall. It is very interesting to shoot light and shadow!
4⃣: Night view. At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the lights in the scenic area will be turned on. At this time, Wenchang Pavilion and Confucius Temple will be golden and beautiful!
