Trip to Beijing 🇨🇳

It was a trip to Beijing, China recently. Beijing in autumn is absolutely breathtaking, with vibrant golden hues painting the city’s landscapes. We had the chance to explore some iconic spots that are a must-visit for anyone who loves capturing history, culture, and nature through lens. We visited the Forbidden City, a marvel of ancient Chinese architecture that leaves you in awe at every corner. Walking through the sprawling courtyards and intricate palace halls, we felt transported back to the Ming and Qing dynasties 👑. The symmetry, vivid colors, and dramatic rooflines make it an exceptional spot for photography 📸Don’t miss climbing up Jingshan Park (just outside the north gate) to capture a panoramic view of the entire complex, it’s a shot worth framing. 📍 4 Jingshan Front St, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China We also explored the Great Wall at Mutianyu, a section that combines breathtaking scenery with fewer crowds. The crisp autumn air and the vibrant foliage along the wall create the perfect backdrop for stunning photos 📸 We recommend taking the cable car 🚡 up to Tower 14 for sweeping views and walking along the wall to truly soak in its magnificence. It’s a surreal experience to stand on such a historic marvel and witness its vastness. 📍Mutianyu Village, Huairou District, Beijing, China Another gem we visited was the Summer Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tranquil Kunming Lake mirrors the surrounding foliage, and the Long Corridor’s intricate paintings provide vibrant pops of color. We recommend catching the sunset 🌅 from Longevity Hill for golden-hour shots that highlight the beauty of this imperial garden. 📍19 Xinjiangongmen Rd, Haidian District, Beijing, China We also wandered through Nanluoguxiang, a historic hutong (alley) filled with charming courtyards, quaint cafes ☕️ , and boutique shops 🛍️ This area offers a mix of old Beijing charm and modern vibes, making it a fantastic spot for candid street photography 📸 The playful contrast between traditional gray-brick buildings and colorful murals is captivating. 📍Nanluoguxiang, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China Beijing is a city that blends history and nature seamlessly, especially in the fall. If you love photography and want a destination rich with culture and beauty, we would highly recommend adding these spots to your itinerary. #chinatrip #vacation #trip
