Dunhuang Ancient City or Mogao Grottoes, which experience is better?

Dunhuang Ancient City: the place where ordinary people realize their martial arts dreams, which is more suitable for taking pictures. It's not big, it's five streets in total, but it's said to be the style of five cities in those days. There is the grandeur of Shazhou House, the market and the exotic customs ... It is still very friendly to take pictures, and you don't have to go far, but they are all concentrated.

Mogao Grottoes: It feels much more advanced. The exquisite murals and magnificent buildings here cannot be explained clearly in words. You have to feel it with your naked eyes.

Let me introduce these two places respectively:

I. Dunhuang Ancient City

When it comes to Dunhuang, people first think of Crescent Moon Spring, Mingsha Mountain and Mogao Grottoes. And here I recommend a place where ordinary people can realize their martial arts dreams-Dunhuang Ancient City.

This is the shooting place of many film and television works. You only need to bring your mobile phone and camera to come here, and you don't need to prepare the rest of the costume props yourself.

Tickets? One person is 40 yuan, local 10 yuan.

Rent a horse? After buying a ticket to enter the park, there is a stable under the ancient city. These are well-trained horses who often take pictures. The cost of renting a horse is 50- 100, and I chose 200. For the safety of my sister, I need to accompany my little brother Ma all the time, so it is more expensive. In addition, you need to buy 8- 15 yuan optional accident insurance before getting on the horse.

There are four or five Hanfu shops in the ancient city of cosmetics, which have cosmetics and photography. I booked the biggest charm of Han and Tang dynasties in advance. Rent clothes 50- 100. There are genuine Royal Guards flying clothes here. The proprietress is very cheap. From 100, I chose 300. I pay more attention to details, and it is not easy for my boss to get up early for two days in a row to help me make up. There are photographers in the shop, and 200 people take pictures around the ancient city, only taking pictures without repairing them.

Shooting strategy?

The gate is the most beautiful backlight. The scenic spot opens at 7 o'clock. When the sun shines through the doorway, women ride horses and break into houses. The picture should not be too cool.

1. hue (Vietnamese city)

It is to imitate the color of the new Longmen Inn, with yellow sand all over the sky, warm colors against the light, catching the eye and emphasizing the characters' hearts.

Draw a picture

I recently bought Hasselblad 80 1.9. Many of them are shot in medium focus, and the frame is 4 to 3 instead of 16 to 9, which makes the film feel worse.

3. War horse

I rented two mares, both actors of Liu Yunning filming in Heishankou on the first day. It's a pity that the most handsome dark horse is too strong and has poor interaction.

Step 4: Scene

Because there is no team, carrying two sets of cameras and costume props, it is really impossible to climb the desert, so there is no rich scene of "lonely smoke in the desert", which is a pity.

Second, the Mogao Grottoes

In the second year of Jian Yuan, the former Qin Dynasty, Monk Le Zun passed by this mountain, and suddenly saw the golden light shining like Buddha, so he dug a hole in the rock wall.

Thousands of years later, how many people dug holes here, and after thousands of years of dust, the discovery of Taoist Wang shocked the world.

The exquisite murals and magnificent buildings here cannot be explained clearly in words. You must feel it here with the naked eye.

? Tour guide:

If you don't know this history before, you can do your homework online in advance. It doesn't matter if it's too late. Tickets include two films about the past lives of Mogao Grottoes. Be sure to observe them carefully.

1 Tickets include free guides. A tour guide led more than 20 tourists and visited 8 caves, including random caves and prescribed caves, so everyone saw something different here.

The tour guide will definitely take you to the most classic places, such as flying murals, Tibetan scriptures caves and nine-color deer. Don't worry.

The exhibition hall of the Tibetan Sutra Cave shows cultural relics related to the Tibetan Sutra Cave, as well as some replicas of Dunhuang books and paintings. You can watch it up close, don't miss it.

? Photographic suggestions:

Photographing is forbidden in the cave, and the cover picture is downloaded online.

Celebrity ice cream in the shape of a nine-story tower on the Internet is worth punching in and taking photos.
