Dali Travel: Xingsheng Bridge Photo Guide!

Here is a guide to taking photos at Xingsheng Bridge in Dali: Pre-trip preparations • Transportation: For self-driving, navigate to Erhe Forest Park or Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture Museum. If taking public transportation, first go to Xiaguan city, then transfer by bus or taxi. • Time: The light is soft from 4pm-7pm, which is suitable for portraits. During the seagull season from November to March of the following year, you can add interest to the picture. • Clothing: It is recommended to wear retro shirts, coats, or Hong Kong-style or European-style clothing. You can also choose JK uniforms, wedding dresses, etc. Shooting locations • Erhe Forest Park Cloister: You can take a large view of Xingsheng Bridge with an open landscape. • Lakeside and bridge openings on the south side of the bridge: You can take photos with the bridge openings for a unique perspective. • Jacaranda at the top and bottom of the bridge: Lower the camera to capture an anime feel. • Middle of the bridge: Overlooking Dali with the blue sky and Erhai Lake as the background, it is very photogenic to take pictures of people. • North side of the bridge: A popular spot to take photos, you can take panoramic views of the bridge and people, which is suitable for wedding photos. Filming techniques • Composition method: Use railings, bridge openings, etc. to create a frame composition; place the characters on the third line of the picture to make the picture more balanced. • Shooting angle: Shooting upwards can highlight the height and grandeur of the bridge; shooting downwards is suitable for shooting the traffic and people on the bridge and Erhai Lake under the bridge. • Capture dynamics: If it is the seagull season, you can capture the moment when seagulls are flying; you can also shoot pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the bridge to add a sense of story to the picture.
