2-3 days photo tour itinerary around Beijing

xiaofan_stop

Beijing is an incredible city for photography, and it sounds like you’ve picked some excellent spots. Rather than hiring a traditional tour guide, which can be pricey, I’d recommend working with an English-speaking, photographer-friendly guide who’s better suited to your needs. Such a guide can offer a professional, flexible, and fairly priced tour.

Instead of focusing heavily on culture and history, the guide can help plan your days around the best lighting conditions and ways to avoid crowds, whether you're after sunrise shots at the Great Wall, panoramic rooftop views, or atmospheric temples with incense and vivid colors.

Feel free to share your gear setup or shooting style if you'd like more tailored suggestions.

Depending on your preferences, dramatic landscapes, untouched ruins, reflections, or tight long-lens compositions, the guide can recommend what works best and help you make the most of your three days here.
