Tourists who had just enjoyed the "Lantern Festival" in the Forbidden City told chinanews. com that although there were many people in it, the lights were beautiful and they enjoyed it.
Photo enthusiast Xiao Sun specially took the SLR to the Forbidden City at night. For him, before today, shooting the night scene of the Forbidden City was an "almost impossible dream".
"Tonight is a dream come true."
In fact, from the moment he successfully grabbed the tickets, he had already begun to make plans for tonight's shooting. He carried a camera, two lenses and a tripod.
However, shooting is not easy. "When entering the arena, people are crowded. When you get to the tower, you need to grab a good shooting position." So that the tripod on your back is basically useless.
But he felt he was still lucky. "Several of my friends who were taking photos together didn't get tickets, so they had to take photos outside the Forbidden City tonight."
