How to save your life in the crowded Shanghai Yuyuan Garden!

**Yuyuan (豫园)** in Shanghai is a really popular tourist attraction, so it's crowded and crowded! To get the best shots in a place like this, you need some tips. Here are some great tips! 📸✨

1. Go early in the morning! ⏰
• If you go to Yuyuan early in the morning, there are relatively fewer people, so you can take pictures leisurely! Especially between 7 and 8 AM, there are fewer people and the sunlight is soft, so you can get really great pictures.

2. Find a pretty background! 🏯
• Yuyuan has many traditional Chinese gardens and old-fashioned buildings. Among them, if you take a picture with the buildings reflected in the water or the trees in the garden, you'll get a great shot! 🌳💧
• If you take a picture on a bridge or in front of a pond, you can make a really great background.

3. Use poses and accessories! 💃🕺
• If you want to capture the traditional atmosphere of Shanghai, it's also good to use traditional Chinese clothing or accessories! (e.g. folding screens or red objects)
• It may be a bit artificial, but if you keep the traditional feel, it goes well with the unique atmosphere of the garden.

4. Avoid crowded times! 🚶♂️🚶♀️
• **Lunch time (12:00~2:00)** or **Dinner time (5:00~7:00)** are especially crowded. It's better to avoid these times because you can see everyone's faces when taking pictures. If you take pictures in a corner or a place that's not easily visible, you can create a quiet feeling!

5. Altitude adjustment! 🎯
• There are various elevation differences in the garden, so if you take pictures from a high place, you can capture a wide background without people being visible. If you take pictures from a low place like a Minion, you can get more fun pictures!

6. Use Live Photos

Try it simply with Live Photo, or
• Use an app like Slow Shutter Cam to set the exposure for a long time to create an effect where only the people behind you are shaking!
