Xiamen is a must-visit destination for artsy photo spots!

Here's a guide to taking photos of the Shapowei Twin Towers in Xiamen: Best time to shoot • Daytime: 9:00–11:00 am or 3:00–5:00 pm, when the light is soft and can highlight the architectural details and colors of the Twin Towers. • Evening: You can go 1–2 hours before sunset, when the afterglow of the sunset shines on the Twin Towers, and the sky is colorful, creating a romantic atmosphere. • Night: After the lights of the Twin Towers are on, the night view of the Shapowei River and surrounding streets is charming, making it suitable for night photography. Shooting location • 2nd floor of Shapowei Art West District: There is a colorful wall as the background, and the Twin Towers can be used as a long shot, making the picture colorful and full of vitality. • Shapowei River: There are boats by the river, and you can take pictures of the reflection of the Twin Towers, adding a sense of hierarchy to the picture. • Hot Dog Shop on University Road: Eckl's Hot Dog Shop on University Road has an open-air balcony where you can look at the Twin Towers from afar, with the surrounding streets and crowds as the foreground, full of life. • Minzu Road: Near No. 47 Minzu Road, you can find a suitable angle to take pictures of the Twin Towers with the streets and shops of Shapowei as the foreground. • SAKE NOMI BAR: There are many cars near the bar, so pay attention to safety when taking pictures. You can use elements such as zebra crossings to make your photos more distinctive. Shooting skills • Composition: Use the rule of thirds to place the Twin Towers on the third line of the picture; or use foreground composition, with the characteristic buildings and green plants of Shapowei as the foreground, to add layers and stories to the picture. • Focus and exposure: Manually focus on the Twin Towers when shooting to ensure they are clear and sharp; adjust the exposure according to the light conditions to avoid overexposure or underexposure. • Try different angles: In addition to the conventional horizontal angle, you can also try a low-angle upward shot to highlight the height and grandeur of the Twin Towers, or look for a high-angle downward shot to show the full view of Shapowei and the Twin Towers.
