A guide to taking photos of Hongyadong at night in Chongqing! I've got it down!

Here's a guide to taking photos of Hongyadong at night: Photo Spots • Daijia Alley Walkway: Navigate to "Home Inn Hotel," go down the overpass and enter the alley. You can take photos of the side of Hongyadong and half-body shots. The sky and lights complement each other in the evening, creating a strong atmosphere. • Qiansismen Bridge: Walk from the 11th floor of Hongyadong. You can take a bird's-eye view of Hongyadong and the river. When the lights come on at night, the view is stunning. • Grand Theatre Jiangtan Park: Take Light Rail Line 6 to Grand Theatre Station and walk for 10 minutes. You can capture Hongyadong, the river view, and Qiansismen Bridge in one frame. • Near Agricultural Bank of China: Exit from Exit 4 of the Grand Theatre Light Rail Station. You can find a shooting spot with a "sky mirror" effect, using the bank's glass as a mirror to reflect the night view of Hongyadong. • Across the street from the 1st floor of Hongyadong: This is a classic spot where you can shoot the night view of Hongyadong from a low angle. It's also great for portraits, but it gets crowded, so arrive early. Shooting Tips • Timing: Hongyadong's lights are usually on from 6:30 pm to 11:00 pm. Arrive half an hour early if you want to capture the moment the lights turn on. • Equipment: Use a tripod to stabilize your equipment. Use night mode on your phone, or adjust your camera to a low ISO, slow shutter speed, and wide aperture. • Portraits: Wear fitted or light-colored clothing. Use a flashlight or ambient light to fill in the subject. Use techniques like blurring the person and focusing on the background, or shooting silhouettes to add depth. Things to Note • Use public transport to avoid traffic jams. • Wear comfortable flat shoes to reduce fatigue from walking uphill. • Keep your belongings safe, especially in crowded areas.
