The representative of Shanxi Ancient Architecture class is here! Just copy the perfect 3-day guide to Linfen!

Day 1⃣️: Walking tour of ancient buildings in Xi County 📍Xiaoxitian in Xixian County ✔️Must see: The pinnacle of Chinese suspended sculpture! The golden sculptures of gods and Buddhas in the main hall shocked me so much that I was speechless. 📸 Recommended seats: ① Shoot symmetrically from both sides of the hall (24mm wide angle is recommended) ② Low-angle shot of the reflection of the hanging sculpture under the lotus platform ⚠️Tips: The light in the hall is dim, so you can bring a mini fill light. Flash photography is prohibited! 📍Guangsheng Temple ✔️How to play: Divided into Upper Temple (Feihong Tower) and Lower Temple (Water God Temple Yuan Dynasty murals) 📸Feihong Tower fairy seat: ① Take a photo of the glazed tower with the incense burner in front of the tower as the foreground (the sun is beautiful at 4pm) ② Go around the tower to shoot the corner glass warriors (use a 70mm telephoto to compress the sense of space) 📍Dongyue Temple ✔️Unpopular treasures: Twenty-eight Mansions sculpture emoji package site, Panlong Pillar is domineering 📸If you are wearing Hanfu, it is recommended to take panoramic photos on the platform. The red walls and green tiles are outstanding! Day 2⃣️: Huozhou National Treasure Loop 📍Huozhou Guanyin Temple ✔️Highlights: Ming Dynasty hanging sculptures + gilded murals, small group tours 📸Use a macro lens to take photos of the hanging sculpture of the child (remember to bring a tripod for shock protection) 📍Wuhuang Temple ✔️Surprise Easter egg: The only mural of the emperor and empress in the country, the security uncle will enthusiastically explain it with lights. 📸Side-light photography of the flowing moiré patterns on the mural (it is recommended to turn off HDR to preserve details) 📍Thousand Buddha Cliff ✔️Secret experience: Find the statues made by Tang Dynasty donors on the banks of Fen River 📸The aerial view is super stunning (there is a safe take-off point on the west side of the river) 📍Huozhou Catholic Church ✔️A magical mix of Chinese and Western styles: glazed roof x Gothic style 📸Deep composition of church benches (the stained glass will cast light spots on the ground in the afternoon) Day 3⃣️: In-depth tour of ancient buildings in Fencheng 📍Fencheng Ancient Buildings ✔️Walking guide: City God Temple → Confucian Temple → Drum Tower → County Government Office (living ancient county town) 📸Street photography location: ① Capturing people walking through the Gulou intersection (85mm portrait lens) ② Symmetrical composition of the reflection of the Confucian Temple Pan Pond (best in the early morning when there is no wind) 📍Fusheng Temple ✔️The ultimate Easter egg: the ancient Jin Dynasty temple hidden in the wheat field, the hanging sculpture of Guanyin crossing the sea is breathtakingly beautiful 📸Take a photo of Guanyin from a kneeling angle (it is recommended to wear solid-colored clothes to create a silhouette) 🌟Shooting equipment recommendations: ① Must bring ultra-wide angle (small space in ancient buildings) ② Folding reflector (a great tool for portrait fill light) ③ Polarizing filter (very useful for photographing glass reflections)
