📸 Autumn Photography Tips
1️⃣ Best from October 20 to November 15｜Guomao sunset 17:30-18:00
2️⃣ Hutong night scenes are more photogenic after 19:00｜The lively atmosphere pairs perfectly with dusk
3️⃣ Must check in at the Forbidden City Corner Tower

✨ As the saying goes: "Beijing has seven cities — the modern prosperity within the Third Ring, the hutong life within the Second Ring, the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City... Ultimately, it belongs to everyone who loves this city."
