What is the most famous landmark in Lanzhou?

The Forbidden City in Beijing, Tiananmen Square, West Lake in Hangzhou, Oriental TV Tower in Shanghai and Sao Paulo Archway in Macau ... Almost every city has one or more typical buildings (scenic spots), which are not only the most distinctive symbols of the city, but also the concentrated expression of its history and culture.

Therefore, a magnificent, unique artistic conception or beautiful city landmark picture is undoubtedly one of the important contents of the city's external image communication. City landmarks not only provide a stage for photographers to display their talents, but also provide an opportunity to constantly reflect on their own photography practice and improve their self-cultivation. Shooting landmarks is not only about shooting their location, but also going deeper and exploring the historical and cultural heritage of the city they represent. Only in this way can the photos taken have "weight". At the same time, more topics excavated from this will also give you a deeper understanding and thinking about photography. -This article is selected from China Photography, No.62, 20 1 1 edition.

Xuchang

"The Gate of Xuchang" welcomes all directions.

Xushe Xuchang gate

Xuchang City, Henan Province is located in the Central Plains. Anyone who has read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that in the first year of Jian 'an (196), Cao Cao "served the Tianzi to make him not a minister" and moved the capital from Luoyang to Xudu, putting on a stormy historical drama. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, after the Wei Dynasty established the Han Dynasty, Wei Wendi Cao Pi renamed Xu County "Xuchang", which was named after this period of history. /kloc-more than 0/800 years have passed, and there are still endless stories of the "Three Kingdoms". Nowadays, the palaces that used to be "smart and gorgeous" (Three Kingdoms Lan's "Xuchang Palace Fu") have long since disappeared, and the landmark building standing on the land of Xuchang is the Xuchang Tourism Service Center known as the "Gate of Xuchang".

Xuchang Gate is located at the entrance of Xuchang Station of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway. It is like a tripod, tall and majestic, with four outer circles, showing a unique "ancient charm and fresh air." It uses the architectural symbols of the Han Dynasty to express Xuchang's culture of the Three Kingdoms. The main building is 36 meters high, and the doorway is 19.6 meters high, which means that Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Han Xian to Xuchang in AD 196. In the diagonal direction of the main building, there are four small buildings in the shape of Han Que, with the height of 12m and the spacing of 120m, which means that there are 12 months in a year. A welcome square with a total area of 57,240 square meters surrounds the main building, and the plane is Cao Cao's "Front Arrow Array" graphic pattern, which embodies the regional cultural characteristics of Xuchang.

A roar came, and the high-speed train passing through Xuchang was slowing down and entering the station. It turned out that the gate of Xuchang was built between the high-speed rail and the expressway. 1800 years ago, Cao Cao chose Xuchang as the capital. The main reason is that the land is fertile, the transportation is convenient, and it is convenient to grow grain and pasture. Nowadays, the transportation extending in all directions is still one of the important development advantages of this city. Xuchang is about 80 kilometers away from Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, and 50 kilometers away from Xinzheng International Airport. There are 7 expressways in China, and there will be 3 high-speed rail lines and 5 high-speed railway station in the future. It is one of the most convenient areas for modern logistics in Central China and even the whole country.

Xuchang Gate, known as the "City Meeting Room", is the first prefecture-level tourism service center in Henan Province. Climbing stairs, a ***25 steps symbolizes the brilliant 25 years of Xuchang in Cao Wei period. Entering the gate of Xuchang is like entering a huge kiln. The lights shone from a height, and the walls decorated with simulated Jun porcelain tiles were full of colors, as if they had crossed a historical tunnel, from the Han Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, to the era when the five famous porcelains "Jun, Confucianism, Guan, Ge and Ding" complemented each other. Jun porcelain fired by Xuchang, a small town in Yuzhou City, uses copper as colorant, with bright glaze and natural patterns.

Walking into the gate of Xuchang is like getting a key to Xuchang's history and culture. There is a smart tourism platform, which can "dynamically manage" Xuchang's tourism, be responsible for tourism promotion, tourism route promotion and provide tourism information. This urban landmark building, which combines Cao Wei culture and Jun porcelain culture in design concept, has attracted many photographers. Taking a good picture of this city card has become a dream of many people.

The gate of Xuchang is very suitable for dusk shooting. After the sun set, the afterglow spread. After a long exposure, the sky showed a deep color like sapphire blue, and the gate of Xuchang stood in the dark, which was a picture with a deep sense of time and space. It is also suitable for aerial photography, especially the night scene after lighting, which not only retains the solemnity and grandeur seen during the day, but also adds a fashionable and simple modern style. Suitable for shooting in snowy days. It snows slowly and the ground turns white. The high-speed rail roared past the gate of Xuchang, and the early morning sunshine sprinkled on the two characters of "Xuchang", shining with faint golden light, and the picture was very beautiful. On the ground facing the gate in the center of the square, there is a seal engraved with the four characters "Xuchang". ? Wen Guo

Zhengzhou

Zhengdong new area superior breed garden

Night view of Zhengdong New District Photo by Li Qian

Zhengdong New District is a new urban area planned and constructed in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Modern architectural features and landscape design make it a beautiful new business card and landmark in Zhengzhou. There are many representative landscapes that can be photographed in Zhengdong New District, including Millennium Square, Ruyi Lake, Henan Art Center and Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Among them, Thousand Seals Square is the most prominent, and it is also a place where excellent works are easily produced. Millennium Plaza is located in the CBD Central Park of Zhengdong New District, adjacent to the Convention and Exhibition Center and the Art Center, and is a landmark building in the CBD of the new district. As the tallest building in the Central Plains, Millennium Plaza covers an area of nearly 30,000 square meters with a total construction area of 250,000 square meters. The main tower has four floors underground and 6 1 floor above ground (including sightseeing floor), with a height of about 280 meters. Standing at the top of the tall building at the intersection of Jinshui Road and Tongtai Road, Millennium Plaza stands like a huge golden corn cob in the center of the CBD of the new district, becoming a beautiful scenery, so it is also affectionately called "big corn" by Zhengzhou people.

During the day, the scenery here is pleasant, and when night falls, the neon in the CBD of Zhengdong New District flashes, and the picturesque night view of the city is even more intoxicating. Shooting the night scene of the city mainly shows the atmosphere at night, all kinds of flashing neon lights, neatly arranged street lamps, street lamps, and window lamps coming through the windows of the room, which are colorful and intertwined into a world of light. Under the action of light, everything becomes so beautiful, therefore, shooting the night view of the city will bring us more fun. However, it is not easy to take a good night view. Because the night scene belongs to the low light source scene, if you want to take a long exposure shot, you must first prepare a stable tripod, otherwise it is easy to take a blurred image. Cable release is also an indispensable auxiliary equipment. As for the lens, wide angle is best.

Sometimes there is foggy weather in Zhengzhou. When the air humidity is high or dirty, the water vapor and floating dust in the atmosphere will diffuse under the irradiation of light. At this time, the night sky photographed will be filled with something similar to noise, and the situation in the photo is even more serious than what we see with the naked eye. Therefore, it is best to choose a night with clear weather, low humidity and fresh air to shoot night scenes. Evening (half an hour before and after sunset) is the best time to shoot night scenes, and the color temperature is the best when there is a glimmer of light on the horizon. Generally speaking, as long as the visibility of the sky is not too bad, high-quality images can be taken theoretically.

Because the core area of CBD in the new area is circular urban architectural planning, and "Big Corn" is basically located in the central area, as long as you find a building in the inner ring and shoot it from top to bottom, you can basically achieve the ideal effect.

When shooting, it is recommended to choose manual mode. The light ratio between the building and the night sky is complicated. If you shoot the aperture first, the camera may not be able to correctly judge the shutter value. Moreover, in the face of uneven light and strong contrast at night, the camera's automatic metering is prone to errors. It is suggested to shoot when it is just dark and the city lights begin to appear; The ISO sensitivity value can be simply set as the lowest value of the camera's intrinsic sensitivity. Because the scene is far from the camera, it will not be blurred even if the maximum aperture is used. If you use a tripod, you don't have to worry about the slow shutter speed. The aperture can be reduced a little to get higher definition. When shooting, we should first consider the brightness of the scene environment and the lighting of the building. ? Cocoze Lee

Shaxian county

Cultural heritage snack city

Snack City Thousand People Banquet Photo by Lv Fuchun

American writer Dick da Morley once said, "All cities are crazy, but they are gorgeous crazy." All the cities are beautiful, but they are all cold and beautiful. "However, there is such a place, a corner of Shaxian County, Fujian Province, which is gorgeous but not crazy, beautiful but not cold, like an elegant and graceful southern woman, full of fireworks. It is Shaxian snack cultural city.

Shaxian Snack Culture City is a national 4A-level tourist attraction integrating eating, living, traveling, traveling, shopping and entertainment. It has Huizhou garden-style architectural style, with a layout of one field (a central square), four areas (food area, leisure and entertainment, tourism and shopping, star-rated hotels) and five axes (five passages crossing), which skillfully combines the functionality and appreciation of Snack Culture City. If you want to have a panoramic view of the snack culture city, the "City Star" building less than 100 meters is an excellent viewing point. The modern architecture echoes the quaint town in the distance. Walk into the building and go straight to the top floor 19. The dripping feeling of "a dangerous building is 100 feet high and you can reach for the stars" arises spontaneously.

Behind the snack city, the towering Taojinshan rises and falls continuously, just like a giant reclining Buddha carved by a fairy, which contrasts with the stone carving of reclining Buddha on the top of the mountain. The magnificent stupa stands on the top of Tao Jin, overlooking all sentient beings and protecting the people. As the sun sets, the snack culture city, Taojinshan Mountain and stupa are covered with sunset glow, dazzling and seamless. As night falls, the stars shine, the stupa is glittering, the snack city is brightly lit, and the fire tree is silver.

Instead of wandering outside the city, it is better to go into the city to find out. The snack culture city has three gates, all made of exquisite marble. Every gate has two bronzing characters "Shacun", and the brushwork is vigorous.

Sitting facing south is the main entrance, in front of which is a pair of mighty stone lions, with a pair of couplets on both sides, carved with lifelike stone carvings, depicting the social life of Shaxian County 1600 years ago. Shacun is both a city in the city and a village in the city, and food is its exclusive symbol. There are modern leisure places here, and there are also fireworks in the countryside. There are two rows of restaurants on the left and right of the main entrance. Entering the gatehouse, you will find the Grand View Garden of Snack Culture City. There are many signs on both sides, which bring together the classic snacks in Shaxian.

The east gate of the snack culture city faces the county seat, and five stone pillars at the entrance are engraved with the snack making map of Gushan County. A huge stone mill symbolizes the exquisite craftsmanship of Shaxian snacks. Entering the ancient street from the east gate and crossing the street from east to west, local specialty firms such as mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, honey and earth eggs gather. In addition, there are special handicraft shops such as jade, porcelain painting, wood carving and root carving, which add a trace of cultural connotation to the street. Walking out of the side street from the west gate, star-rated hotels and characteristic inns gather with different styles and are equally comfortable.

Today, the bustling snack culture city has ushered in a brand-new three-phase construction. The electric mall has attracted countless young people who are interested in starting a business and built their own entrepreneurial dreams. The newly-built snack making experience center is clean and bright, where visitors can experience the snack making process and make you addicted to being a chef. ? Lv Fuchun

Chizhou

Searching for the Ancient and Asking for the Present Xiushan Gate

Chizhou Xiushanmen photo

Chizhou City, Anhui Province is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and its geographical position is very important, which has always been valued by politicians and military strategists. Chizhou City was founded in Yongtai period of Tang Dynasty, with six gates, of which the west gate is Qiupu Gate (changed to Xiushan Gate in the second year of Song Duanping), which has been around for more than 200 years. During the reign of Song Chun, Chizhou City, which was devastated by war, was rebuilt for the fifth time, and seven gates were opened, among which Xiushanmen was the West Gate. Xiushanmen is the main entrance of Chizhou City in various historical periods, and this pattern has been maintained until modern times.

In a historic city, the city wall is a cultural ribbon, and the city gate is a cultural complex embedded in this ribbon. In the long river of time, the city gate was destroyed and rebuilt with the cycle of war and peace. It witnessed the passage of time and the changes of the times in the opening and closing again and again, and even experienced and even carried the rise and fall of a city. Xiushanmen in Chizhou City is such a city gate.

Chizhou is a poetic city, and Xiushanmen is also influenced by this kind of poetry. There are ten miles of apricot flowers outside Xiushan Gate, and the poet Du Mu is here as a secretariat. I often go to Xinghua Village to drink and write poems, leaving famous articles such as Qingming. Qiupu outside Xiushanmen (the state was changed to a county during the reign of Tang Tianbao, and Chizhou was renamed Qiupu County) is endless. The poet Li Bai traveled to Chizhou many times and wrote "Songs of Qiupu" (seventeen songs) and other chapters. Chizhou has beautiful scenery, attracting many literati and poets, and there are countless excellent poems and songs.

Chizhou is a city of heroes, and Xiushanmen is a monument to heroes of all ages. In the tenth year of Song Xianchun (1274), the Yuan army came to Chizhou, and Zhao Maofa was sentenced to lead a heroic battle. At the end of the second year, he was defeated. On the morning of the day when the city was broken, he said, "You must not rebel, and the city must not surrender. Husband and wife will die together and become a couple." He also bid farewell to his brother for the poem "Tearing clothes to send a poem to my brother". When the city was broken, both husband and wife died heroically. In the second year of Qing Shunzhi (1645), Qing soldiers crossed the river and invaded. Wu, a writer and anti-Qing hero, was ordered to promote officials and supervise the army in Chizhou. He rose up in his hometown Chizhou, recruited volunteers, forged weapons, and cooperated with Huizhou Jinsheng Rebel against the Qing Dynasty. In the end, he was captured because he was outnumbered and sacrificed heroically. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the Japanese invaders set foot in Chizhou, and the Sichuan army guarding the city relied on Xiushanmen to fight to the death. After the fall, Xiushanmen fought fiercely many times, and the city gate changed hands many times, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers and civilians.

Chizhou is a famous cultural city, and Xiushanmen is the epitome of Chizhou culture. Xiushanmen rebuilt in 2003 is an imitation of the architectural style of Qing Dynasty. There are eight scenic spots in the park, such as the famous mandarin fish in the pond, the water around the spring city, the ancient road of setting sun, the scenery in the volume, the apricot rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful scenery on the bridge, the beautiful scenery in the west profile and the ruins of the city wall. Xiushan Gate is simple and elegant in decoration. Stone carvings, wood carvings, brick carvings, stone drums and stone lions are all treasures collected from the people. There is an antique market and folk art collection in the tower, which shows the history and culture of Prince Guan Zhaoming and Guichi furniture. On the whole, it embodies the local characteristics of Chizhou and the dignified history of Xiushanmen. If you walk in it, you will feel vicissitudes and heavy.

Chizhou is a leisure city, and Xiushanmen and its surroundings are a good place to experience slow life. The square in front of Xiushan is small and exquisite, and the pedestrian street behind the door is a civic cultural alley integrating sightseeing, shopping, historical and cultural display and leisure and entertainment. Here is a collection of ancient, humanistic, fresh and other emotional appeal as a whole, tea, jujube and other local products gathered, and the special snacks are full of fragrance. The sun went down, and there was a sunset glow everywhere. People who have been busy all day can enjoy a slow-paced leisure time here. ? Ding Yongqing

Jin Chengjiang

Border town wind in national parks

Hechi National Park Square Yuan Gang photo

Photography often brings us not only the scenery, but also the time memory and customs reflected by the scenery here. Jin Chengjiang National Park is undoubtedly a good place to interpret the scenery. Jin Chengjiang National Park is located in the west of Hechi City, which is the core of green space in the west of the city. Covering an area of 359.4 mu, it is located halfway up the mountain. Combined with the topography and natural conditions of mountain peaks, through diversified planning and design, the mutual penetration of urban life and parks has been realized. The space of national parks is gradually divided into three "characteristic" areas.

Ethnic customs area-here, between the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, you can see a real gathering place of ethnic minorities and feel the Hechi with soul. Ethnic customs area is a landscape area that connects various activities and ethnic characteristics in series through main roads and loop lines. There are many traditional festivals for ethnic minorities. On March 3rd every year, Zhuang, Miao, Dong, Yao and Han nationalities living all over the world gather in the square to carry out various traditional activities, such as singing duet, spinning top, walking shoes, dancing and ball games. You can experience the colorful activities of ethnic minorities with enthusiastic locals, and have the opportunity to taste local wine and bacon.

Revolutionary History Exhibition Area-The main attraction of this area is Hechi Revolutionary Memorial Hall, which is the largest and most comprehensive memorial hall in Hechi City. Built in 2007, it has two permanent exhibition halls and a temporary exhibition hall, which has become an important patriotic education base and an important window to publicize Hechi. Revolutionary Memorial Square is the commanding height of the whole park, with a wide view and a panoramic view of the park. Before sunset, you can have a panoramic view of the national park because of the afterglow of sunset. At this time, as long as you find a suitable angle, the wide-angle lens can freeze the whole park with the beautiful sunset.

Ecological leisure landscape area-Walking along the landscape road about 800 meters away from the memorial hall, you can feel the rich green life breath. Along the way, the willows on the roadside landscape lake are lingering, and slowly enjoying the sunset on the grass or in the pavilion are two completely different moods. As night falls, the lights are on, and three large fountains with different styles from bottom to top set off the night in the park more and more beautiful. By using slow door or stacking technology, you can make beautiful night scenes and gorgeous fountains look like hanging colored silk flowing in the wind. In order to reduce the light pollution, the lights in the park square began to turn off after 10 in the afternoon, and the Polaris was just behind the memorial hall, so a polar concentric star orbit with the memorial hall as the foreground could be photographed. ?
