At the Foot of China Zun Stand at the foot of China Zun and look up at this towering skyscraper to feel its majesty and grandeur. At night, China Zun is brightly lit, like a lighthouse illuminating the entire city. You can use a wide-angle lens to capture the full view of China Zun, or choose a close-up lens to capture its unique architectural details. At the same time, the surrounding building lights will add rich colors and layers to the photos. 3. Guomao Bridge Guomao Bridge is a transportation hub connecting all directions and a great place to photograph the night view of Guomao. You can find a suitable location on the sidewalk of the bridge to photograph the passing vehicles and light streams. If you are lucky, you can also capture the scene of the subway train passing under the bridge. In addition, the surrounding high-rise buildings are brightly lit when viewed from Guomao Bridge, which is very spectacular. 4. Kerry Center Hotel Lobby The floor-to-ceiling windows in the Kerry Center Hotel lobby offer a unique perspective for photographing the night view of Guomao. Here, you can sit comfortably on the sofa and enjoy the beautiful scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The lobby lights are soft, forming a sharp contrast with the outside night view, creating a warm atmosphere. You can use a telephoto lens to photograph distant buildings, or take a group photo of people in the lobby with the night view. 5. Jianwai SOHO The architectural style of Jianwai SOHO is unique, and the white buildings look particularly fresh under the night lights. You can wander through the buildings and look for different angles to photograph the night view of Guomao. The square of Jianwai SOHO is also a good photo spot, where you can capture a panoramic view of Guomao while capturing the scene of people relaxing and entertaining in the square. In short, the night view of Guomao is beautiful, and the above photo spots are only a part of it. During the shooting process, you can try different angles and shooting techniques according to your preferences and creativity to record the beautiful moments of Guomao at night.

Now, street photography has a fancy name "Citywalk", just like how the business office area around Guomao is commonly referred to as CBD. Every day, people come and go, busy with their lives. I believe many people have a few photos of the CBD in their phones. If you work and live in Beijing, the Beijing CBD area might be the most easily overlooked yet unforgettable citywalk route. 🚶‍♂️ Route order: Guomao Subway Station Exit A → China World Trade Center Tower 3 → Sunshine Insurance Financial Center → Samsung Tower → Taikang Group Tower → China World Trade Center Phase 3 → CITIC Tower (China Zun) → Guanghua Road → CCTV Headquarters → Jintai Xizhao Subway Station Exit C 🧭 Total distance: 2 kilometers (1-2 hours for photo taking) ✅ China Zun, standing at 528 meters tall, is a landmark building in Beijing. It can be photographed from many angles; if the weather is clear and visibility is high, you can capture photos of China Zun from any location in the city. ✅ The China World Mall, China Hotel, and the new China World Mall, along with China World Trade Center Tower B, form a group of buildings at the northwest corner of the Guomao Bridge on the East Third Ring Road. ✅ Beijing's CBD is still growing taller. The red and yellow cranes under the blue sky in the core area under construction make for great photos. ✅ The panda KaoKao really can lean on anything; he can lean on any building in the CBD area. ✅ China Zun is the tallest building in Beijing, a landmark, and the pinnacle of office buildings, unparalleled. ✅ Encountering the "spidermen" cleaning the external glass curtain wall of China Zun, workers who are still working hard during the May Day holiday. ✅ The trees around the CCTV Headquarters have turned green, and the branches of the dead tree at the subway entrance are very picturesque. ✅ The design of the CCTV Headquarters is full of artistic and futuristic sense, and it also looks like a picture frame.

You must never go to these places in Guomao CBD!! Beijing CBD Guomao, you definitely have to check it out. Taking the subway Line 1 and Line 10 to transfer, you can reach Guomao Station Exit E and head straight to the Guomao South Area, which is truly a paradise for girls, with luxury stores, hat shops, and everything you could want. Sisters who love shopping, hurry up! Guomao has North Area, Central Area, and South Area, their B1 is interconnected, and the Central Area is much smaller than the North and South Areas. Personally, I suggest you take a look at the skating rink inside and then head to the North Area! In the North Area of Guomao, there are many toy stores, including LEGO and such, and most importantly, there is a Xinhua Bookstore at B2, which is very large and quiet. I browsed books there for an hour, feeling like I was in a Harry Potter world. After reading, you can take the elevator straight up to the 6th-floor terrace to see the 'Big Pants' and the 'Three-Piece Set' (China Zun, Samsung, Zhong Show). It's truly breathtaking! You get the feeling of the capital of China, and the Guomao Bridge is in the sky! It feels like tunneling through the air. In the evening, sisters who like to take photos and check in can rest assured to go to the 'Big Pants' and the 'Three-Piece Set' after 9 pm! Guomao>
