Trip to Beijing, China 🇨🇳

It was a trip to Beijing, China 🇨🇳 This is a city full of history, culture, and stunning photo opportunities 📸 We visited some of the most iconic spots at the best times for photography, capturing everything from ancient palaces to modern skyscrapers 🏙️ We started our morning ⛅️ at the Forbidden City, the heart of Beijing’s history. The golden rooftops, red walls, and intricate details made every shot incredible 📸 We explored the vast courtyards and halls, capturing the symmetry and grandeur of this imperial palace 💯 For a breathtaking panoramic shot of the Forbidden City, we hiked up to Jingshan Park. The view from the top is absolutely worth it, the golden glow over the palace rooftops is something you don’t want to miss 🙌 📍4 Jingshan Front St, Dongcheng, Beijing, China, 100009 We then took a day trip to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, one of the most photogenic parts of this world wonder. Arriving early gave us the best lighting ✨ and fewer tourists in our shots. The lush green hills surrounding the wall create a breathtaking contrast with the ancient stone. We also explored the Beijing Olympic Park, where the iconic Bird’s Nest Stadium and Water Cube light up beautifully. 📍Huairou District, Beijing, China, 101406 The Summer Palace was one of our favorite spots in Beijing 🙌 We arrived early at 9 AM to catch the soft morning light ✨ over Kunming Lake and the stunning Seventeen-Arch Bridge. The traditional Chinese pavilions and willow-lined pathways provided endless photography opportunities 📸 We also visited Houhai Lake, a charming area with old-style courtyards, little bridges, and a peaceful waterfront. The best time to visit is sunset 🌇 when the lake reflects the golden light, and the traditional rickshaws add a nostalgic touch to your shots 📸 📍19 Xinjiangongmen Rd, Haidian, Beijing, China, 100091 We ended our trip at the Temple of Heaven, one of Beijing’s most photogenic landmarks. The best time to visit is early morning ☀️ when locals practice tai chi, adding a lively and cultural element to your shots 📸 For a contrast to Beijing’s ancient sites, we explored the modern Central Business District (CBD) in the evening. The skyscrapers 🏙️ like the futuristic CCTV Headquarters, looked stunning at dusk when the city lights began to shine ✨ We highly recommend capturing the skyline from one of the rooftop bars nearby 💯 📍32 E 3rd Ring Rd Middle, Chaoyang, Beijing, China, 100020 Every corner of Beijing offers a unique photography opportunity, from ancient palaces to modern architecture 🙌🙌🙌 #chinatrip #travel #vacation
