In which direction is the turret of the Forbidden City often photographed by photographers?

Generally speaking, the better location for shooting turrets is:

Turret in Northeast China: There are common nights and night scenes in the evening (when it is not completely dark);

Northwest turret: panoramic view of the turret and the Forbidden City wall at dawn and afternoon, and golden pictures are displayed on the turret at sunset in the evening;

These two turrets can easily find the shooting angle on the other side of the lawn, so they are very popular with color friends in Beijing.

The southeast corner building and southwest corner building need to take photos in the working people's cultural palace and Zhongshan Park respectively, which is more troublesome and less people take photos. However, there are also many photos taken at the foot of the turret, and you can get another feeling by taking photos from the angle of looking up.

You can go to my picasa photo album, which is basically the effect of shooting from these angles.
