📸 Photography Tips

1. Capture the Gate from Below

The vermilion gate and dragon carvings of the Guandi Temple are strikingly impressive when photographed from a low angle. Adding a blue sky or nighttime illuminations to the background adds even more impact.

2. Capture the decorative pillars and roof.

The Mazu Temple's dense decorations are incredible!
Taking close-up shots of just the dragon entwined around the pillars or the phoenix on the roof will highlight the power of the details.

3. Use light at night to your advantage

Illuminated temples are truly works of art.

The trick is to use a tripod or your smartphone's image stabilization to emphasize the contrast between the darkness and the light.

4. Silhouette people

Composing temples and worshippers or tourists as silhouettes will further highlight the size and impact of the buildings.

💡 Moments Posting Tips
• Adding words like "magnificent," "majestic," and "powerful" to your title will catch people's attention.
• Taking photos with both daytime and nighttime versions will help you compare them.
• Posting photos that combine temple details (dragons, phoenixes, lanterns, and gates) will increase the number of people who want to see them.
