Datong Huayan Temple|The beauty of pink ancient costumes is a millennium-old tradition

When the murals meet the light, the ancient charm of Huayan Temple comes to life🎬 Here are some great photo spots that look good even with your eyes closed: • Under the red wall of the Mahavira Hall: Stand sideways to let the sunlight shine obliquely, with the red wall as the background to highlight the flowing lines of the sleeves, naturally adding a vintage filter; • Looking up under the flying eaves: Use the upturned corners and blue sky as the background, with the subject looking down adjusting hairpins or raising a hand to brush the sleeves, creating a richly layered scene; • Dougong corridor: Stand in the middle of the corridor, letting light and shadow fall through the dougong onto you, walk slowly and turn for candid shots, maximizing the atmosphere; • Stone steps outside the hall: Sit sideways or walk slowly, using the depth of the stone steps paired with wide-sleeved skirts to fully display classical charm.
