Zhongshan sunset viewing, hotel observation deck, feel the charm of this city

Here is a guide to taking photos of the sunset from the rooftop of a Zhongshan hotel:

Choose the right hotel rooftop

• Hilton Zhongshan Downtown: Located at Lihe Plaza Shopping Center, 16 Zhongshan 3rd Road, the 60th floor rooftop offers a 360° view of Zhongshan City, with city views and sunset views.
• The Westin Zhongshan Downtown: Features a sky pool on the 42nd floor and a Taste restaurant on the 59th floor, with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire Zhongshan City.
• Atour Hotel (Zhongshan Guzhen Huayi Plaza): The guest room floors are high, and the river view rooms offer a view of the river and sunset.
Preparation

• Check the weather and sunset time: Check the weather forecast in advance, choose a sunny day with few clouds, and check the sunset time through a weather app or professional astronomy website, and arrive at the rooftop 30-60 minutes in advance.

• Photography equipment: Bring a camera and mobile phone, with telephoto, wide-angle lenses and a tripod, and prepare filters such as polarizers and gradient filters.

• Clothing: Choose clothing that matches the sunset atmosphere, such as warm or light-colored clothing.

Photo positions and techniques

• Panoramic position: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the cityscape, buildings, and sunset sky, showing a grand scene.

• Silhouette position: Let the person stand on the edge of the rooftop, with their back to the sunset, and take a silhouette with the sky as the background, adjusting the exposure to highlight the effect.

• Close-up position: Use a telephoto lens to capture the details of buildings and rooftop facilities under the sunset, showing the charm of light and shadow.

• Use foreground composition: Use the railings and plants on the rooftop as the foreground to add a sense of layering and space to the picture.
