👉Photography🈯South 1⃣ Clothing Selection • Saishang Old Street: Women can choose retro styles such as the Republic of China-style cheongsam, while men can wear Chinese long gowns or Tang suits. Ethnic clothing, such as Mongolian costumes, can also be chosen to showcase the unique local customs. • Dazhao Temple: Clothing should be simple, elegant, and appropriate. Women can wear solid-colored long skirts, while men can wear a simple shirt and trousers; this shows respect for religious sites. 2️⃣ Equipment Preparation • A high-quality camera, such as a DSLR or mirrorless camera, with a wide-angle lens for panoramic views of buildings and a fixed-focus lens for close-ups of people. • A tripod, for use in low light or long exposures to ensure stable images. • Sufficient memory cards and spare batteries. 👉 Itinerary Day 1: Saishang Old Street Morning: Arrive at Saishang Old Street around 9:00 AM, when there are fewer tourists and the light is softer. Take panoramic photos with the memorial archway as the background. • Shop Exploration: Visit antique shops and handicraft stores. Have people interact with the shop signs and displayed merchandise, such as picking up an antique. Shoot close-ups and mid-shots to capture their curiosity and exploration. Noon • Food Experience: Sample local delicacies like steamed buns and mutton offal in the old street. Capture close-ups of the food and the satisfied expressions of the people as they savor the food to capture the lively atmosphere of the old street. Afternoon • Stroll along the bluestone streets, capturing people's backs or profiles from low angles, such as when they flick their hair or turn around, to capture captivating moments. • Look for distinctive corners in the old street, such as ancient walls or carved doors and windows. Shoot mid-shots and close-ups of people to highlight their integration with the surroundings. Evening • As night falls and the red lanterns of the old street light up, stroll through.

Place your hands together in front of the pagodas, expressing reverence, to experience the solemnity and sacredness of religion. Take mid-range and close-up photos. Lunch • Dine at a restaurant near Dazhao Temple, such as Deshunyuan: a century-old establishment serving steamed buns and lamb skewers with charcoal-cooked brick tea; or Gerile Amama Milk Tea House: offering salty milk tea, yogurt pancakes, and stone-grilled meats at a great value. Afternoon • After entering the main hall, strictly adhere to temple regulations while admiring the exquisite Buddha statues and murals. Photos with religious elements are welcome, but maintain a respectful demeanor. Avoid using flash when photographing to avoid damaging the artifacts. • Quiet moments in the courtyard: The temple courtyard is tranquil and peaceful. Sit on a stone bench with the greenery and temple in the background; photos will be stunning. End the tour in the evening. 📌Notes • When taking photos in Saishang Old Street and Dazhao Temple, respect local customs and religious beliefs and adhere to local regulations. • Be mindful of environmental protection and avoid damaging the ancient street and temple facilities and artifacts. • Be mindful of your own safety when taking photos, especially in crowded areas. #The most asked place in Moments #The night view here is super beautiful #Photo guide for scenic spots
