🌈【Three Must-Shoot Divine Spots】🌈
1️⃣ Pass Tower Panorama
Stand on the ancient bluestone path and look up at the majestic pass tower🏯, with flying eaves and golden decorations sparkling in the sunlight✨ It’s recommended to wear red or white Hanfu, stand at a 45° angle in front of the pass gate looking up at the sky, and every shot will be a masterpiece! Your social media likes will skyrocket💥
2️⃣ Rooster Crowing Platform Sunset
Be sure to climb the Rooster Crowing Platform around 5 PM! The golden afterglow shines on the thousand-year-old rammed earth city wall🌅, and you can hear the mountain wind passing through the cracks of history. Bring a telephoto lens to capture the divine moment of clouds and the pass tower in the same frame! It comes with a built-in cinematic filter, no editing needed📽️
