Best photography spots in the Temple of Heaven:
South/Southeast of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests: Use a low-angle upward shot to capture the blue tiles and golden roof, sharply contoured against morning mist or backlight.
Northwest Entrance of the Echo Wall: Use a telephoto lens to frame silhouettes of visitors whispering against the wall, highlighting the circular symmetry.
Central Heart Stone of the Circular Mound Altar: Shoot downward to showcase the nine-ring fan-shaped stone tiles, with the sky as a backdrop to emphasize geometric patterns.
Midpoint of Danbi Bridge: Photograph toward the Hall of Prayer along the 360m Divine Path, with ancient cypresses lining the road to enhance depth.
Red Walls of the Shenle Hall: In afternoon side light, the dappled shadows of red walls and cypresses create an ideal backdrop for portrait close-ups.
Tips: Soft light from 7–9 AM; avoid peak crowds on holidays.
