Take a stroll through the world of ice and snow!

Here is a guide to taking photos at Harbin Ice and Snow World to help you take beautiful photos. Preparation - Time: It is recommended to shoot in the morning when the light is soft and there are fewer people. There are more people in the afternoon, which will affect the composition. Be sure to go on a sunny day, as the ice and snow will look more crystal clear in the sunlight, and the atmosphere of the picture will be stronger. - Clothing: Avoid wearing all white. It is recommended to choose clothes in bright colors such as white, blue, pink, red, yellow, and black. You can also wear warm and beautiful accessories such as hats, scarves, and gloves. - Equipment and accessories: Bring a phone or camera. It is recommended to use a 26-70mm focal length for portrait photography on a phone, and bring a 70-200mm, 50mm, and 35mm lens for a camera. Also, bring spare batteries, power banks, and hand warmers. Photography skills - Angle: Try shooting from a low angle to highlight the grandeur of the ice and snow buildings and avoid crowds. You can also find some low angles and use the ice surface or ice sculptures as the foreground to take photos of people and the background. - Composition: Use elements such as ice columns, window frames, and doorways as viewfinders to frame people or subjects. You can also use symmetrical composition to make the picture more balanced and stable. - Post-production: Appropriately reduce the tone, increase the brightness and saturation, and highlight the texture of the ice and snow. You can also adjust the color temperature according to the style and atmosphere of the photo. Recommended photo spots - Crown of Ice and Snow: The tallest and most magnificent building in the park. Stand under the tower and take a wide-angle shot from a low angle for a strong visual impact. There is a circle of light stick lawns under the main tower. If you squat on the lawn, you can take a picture of the snowflake Ferris wheel.  - Castle: There is a popular photo "window" during the day, where you can see the snowflake Ferris wheel in the distance. The pink and white Russian-style castle at night is full of romance. The entrance "Just Met You" and "With Love" are also great photo spots. - Snowflake Ferris Wheel: The spot directly under the Ferris wheel is perfect. Squat down and take a low-angle shot to let the Ferris wheel occupy most of the picture. The overall effect is dreamy and romantic.  - Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests: The ice and snow version of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a must-see attraction every year. Use partial buildings and low-angle shots to make the picture more atmospheric. There is a low ice wall behind it, and the effect is better if you stand on it. - Ice columns: The high and low ice columns on the left-hand side when you first enter the park are a hidden treasure. Use the gaps between the ice columns to take photos, with the Ferris wheel as the background, for a layered effect.
