Picture-perfect Foshan! Must-visit photo spots at Zumiao Temple. Save this post!

Here's your guide to capturing stunning photos at Foshan Zumiao Temple: Photo Spots and Angles • Lingying Archway: Stand in front of Jinxiang Pool and shoot upwards, using symmetrical composition. Frame the "Sacred Edict" plaque together with the archway's glazed tiles and vermilion wood carvings to showcase its grandeur. • Jinxiang Pool: Capture the stone tortoise and snake sculptures in the pool with the Lingying Archway in the background. You can also photograph visitors tossing coins and making wishes, adding a touch of human interest. • Wanfu Stage: Take photos with the stage as a backdrop, or capture the performers during a Cantonese opera show. • Huang Feihong Memorial Hall: Take a photo with the bronze statue of Huang Feihong in front of the hall. Inside, use martial arts weapons and murals as backdrops. • Confucius Garden: Enter through the archway and find the rockery in front of the wishing tree. Shoot downwards through the gaps in the rocks to capture the koi pond. Best Time to Shoot We recommend entering the park before 9am for optimal lighting and fewer crowds. If you want to photograph performances, aim for the lion dance or Cantonese opera shows. Photography Tips • Outfit Coordination: Traditional Chinese clothing, such as Hanfu or cheongsam, complements the ancient architecture. • Composition and Angles: Use symmetrical or framed compositions for buildings. For portraits, utilize foreground elements or shoot from high or low angles to add depth. • Light and Shadow: Capture the interplay of light and shadow on the buildings during the morning or evening with side or backlighting. Indoors, use light filtering through doors and windows to create ambiance. Other Information Tickets cost CNY 20 and can be purchased online or offline. Take Exit D at Zumiao Station on the Guangfo Metro Line, and the temple is a 3-minute walk away.
