With the red walls and eaves of the Forbidden City as the background, snowflakes fall, flowers and snow meet, red walls set off, flower branches reflect snow, beautiful beyond words. 2. Face the camera directly at the palace tower, shoot the "snow-capped Forbidden City", use the panoramic mode for a long picture, highlighting the majesty and grandeur of the Forbidden City. 3. When shooting portraits, stand under a flowering tree, or lean against the palace wall, look up at the falling snowflakes, and make sure your eyes are in place, the photo will have a very story-like feel. 4. It is recommended to wear red/white/green for portraits, especially red, which is very photogenic. 5. There are many professional photographers in the Forbidden City every day, you can directly refer to their photo spots. ⚠️Note: If you can't get a reservation for the Forbidden City, you can go to Jingshan Park to overlook the Forbidden City, and you may have a chance to take pictures of the snow scene with persimmons, which is very beautiful! The Forbidden City is in the off-season until the end of March, the earliest entry time in the morning is 8:30, and the latest entry time in the afternoon is 15:40.
