Recommended photography spots: Shougang Park: Combines industrial style with modern art. The Xinshougang Bridge offers stunning dusk lighting, while the 40m-high platform of the No.3 Blast Furnace provides a panoramic view of Shijingshan. Qunming Lake and the Big Air ski jump are ideal for sci-fi themed shots. Jiuyanlou Great Wall: From the summit, capture the "Beijing-style Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" landscape—on clear days, China Zun (CITIC Tower) frames with the Great Wall. Wanchun Pavilion, Jingshan Park: The highest point on Beijing’s central axis, offering a breathtaking juxtaposition of the Forbidden City’s panorama and the modern CBD, blending past and present. Guomao Inversion Angle: The mirrored ceiling on the first floor of the south mall area reflects the sky, creating an Inception-like effect. Yangmeizhu Xiejie: A literary hutong with red walls, gray bricks, and cafes for a retro vibe; the alley beside No.84 offers strong depth for framing. West Causeway, Summer Palace: In May, the lake scenery is picturesque—Fragrance Hill Pavilion contrasts with "Pinxia" peach blossoms, best photographed in morning light. Tips: Book the Forbidden City 7 days in advance; shoot hutongs in the afternoon or evening for optimal light.
