Suzhou Gardens, this is how you should capture its essence! Traditional Chinese cheongsam, a dream back to the Republic of China era
🎢【Suzhou Gardens Day Portrait Guide】
【Cheongsam Portrait Shooting Guide】
🗓Itinerary:
Choosing the location
Cheongsam is suitable for shooting in the Republic of China style streets or Ming and Qing Dynasty style grey tile white wall garden buildings.
So this time we chose Suzhou Gardens for shooting. Suzhou Gardens are famous for their unique classical architecture and exquisite garden landscapes. However, there are many tourists, so you can choose relatively less popular gardens. Suitable gardens: Liu Garden, Canglang Pavilion and Ke Garden are just across the street, Yipu, etc.
When choosing a shooting location, you can decide according to the style and scene you want. For example, Humble Administrator's Garden is famous for its exquisite architecture and waterscape, suitable for shooting elegant portraits; while Lion Grove has a unique rock landscape, suitable for shooting portraits with a certain wildness.
🕙Shooting time:
One hour before the opening and closing of the garden, avoid the crowd, you can enjoy a truly quiet garden.
📝Tips:
Make full use of the light in the garden, find the time near sunset. Create rich shadows and light and dark effects. For example, when shooting portraits, you can choose where the sunlight shines through the leaves, using the tree shadows to add a sense of layering to the picture.
🧳Composition techniques
Use garden elements: Suzhou Gardens are famous for their unique architecture and garden elements, these elements can serve as the background or props for portrait shooting. For example, when shooting portraits, you can choose to shoot in the garden's corridors, pavilions or stone bridges, using these buildings as the background for the portraits, enhancing the artistic sense of the picture.
Capture the moment: There are often some unique moments in Suzhou Gardens, such as ripples on the water, petals falling, etc.
Pay attention to composition and posture: When shooting portraits, the choice of composition and posture is very important. You can try different angles and shooting methods to create unique picture effects. At the same time, pay attention to the model's posture and expression, let them relax naturally, showing their best state.
The most important thing is to make good use of the various shapes of door frames and stone windows in the garden: The background of Suzhou Gardens is often exquisite architecture and landscapes, which can echo with the portraits. When shooting portraits, you can use the garden background, interact with the model, and create interesting picture effects. For example, when shooting portraits, you can let the model and the flowers and plants in the garden complement each other, adding a sense of liveliness to the picture.
I give some tips from my visit to Liuyuan or Lingering Garden.It's slightly out of the way as compared to Humble Adminstrator's Garden but it's actually within walking distance from Shantang street which is their old street. I thought Shantang street was pretty nice, similar to Old Town of Lijiang. So from the Shantang metro station, walk South East to the end of Shantang.
Very good film, high culture! **Lingering Garden Tour: The charm and echo of the classical garden** On the early autumn morning, I stepped into the Lingering Garden in Suzhou. The sun shines on the winding path through the ancient treetops, as if guiding me. The Lingering Garden, a classical garden with a history of more than 400 years, is not only a beautiful scenery, but also a witness to a history. Walking around, I feel that the architectural layout of the Lingering Garden is exquisite, and each place reveals the unique understanding of nature and life of the ancients. The small island in the middle of the pool is like a vivid landscape painting with the surrounding pavilions and pavilions. The mountains and stones and flowers in the garden are cleverly matched. The four seasons have different styles, which makes people linger. During my visit to the Lingering Garden, the most memorable thing was the time I spent with my family. We took a photo in front of Mingser Building and left a good memory. In addition, the performances in the park also impressed me, such as classical dance, folk music performance, etc., not only show the charm of traditional culture, but also provide us with a feast of vision and hearing. In terms of facilities and environment, the Lingering Garden is doing quite well. The bathroom is clean and tidy, and the Suzhou specialty snacks provided by the restaurant are also full of praise. The ecological environment of the entire park is good, and the safety of tourists is fully guaranteed. In terms of surrounding facilities, the vendors and hotels around the Lingering Garden are also quite perfect. We chose to stay in an antique hotel and felt the traditional charm of Suzhou. The surrounding food stalls and specialty shops have added a lot to our trip.
The Lingering Garden really wants to leave people in a garden. The tickets are not expensive. You can enter the place directly by buying the WeChat applet. There are not many beautiful photos sent. It is recommended that you must go to the Lingering Garden to see it. It is super beautiful! ! !
A typical southern garden of Suzhou Lingering Garden. It is convenient to buy tickets on Trip.com. There are many strange stones. It is beautiful. Come to Suzhou. Suzhou Lingering Garden is also a must-come place. I think you recommend going to Suzhou Lingering Garden to take a look.
Suzhou bus and subway are powerful, that is, sharing bicycle parking is limited. Holiday travel staff is dense, but the Lingering Garden management system is perfect and comprehensive, providing comfortable and safe services for tourists, which is worthy of praise!
The Lingering Garden is not big, exquisite, the Lingering Garden Sanbao is not particularly express, early homework like treasure hunting, it is also a fun, the most sighing is the change of the people of the Lingering Garden owner, it is worth us to think about the most precious thing in life. Jiangnan gardens combine the Chinese people's ultimate knowledge, architecture, aesthetics, life, etc., and they can't surpass them. Some students sketch in the park, and they can also be considered inheritance!
Chen Chunhua's tour guide was very serious and dedicated, and he explained until the park was closed. The whole process did not rest for a moment. We were very touched by the meticulousness of Chen and admired his free and free personality. Lingering Garden, because of Chen's explanation, became lively. The static grass and wood became smart, and the mountains and stones were wonderful. The interesting explanation of Director Chen made us feel that time was passing by without fatigue. The whole Lingering Garden was filled with laughter and laughter from us and Director Chen. Until now, we still feel that the meaning is still not enough. Thank you Chen for bringing us an unparalleled feeling. Lingering Garden, because Chen has become more wonderful! We will also treasure this wonderful journey deep in our hearts...
