Beijing Hanfu Experience | The Poetic Beauty of Lakes and Mountains

⛲️The Summer Palace is full of poetic beauty in summer, and each season has its own characteristics. My favorite season is summer, when everything is in full bloom. Take a boat from the Cixi Waterway all the way to the Summer Palace. Back in the day, Empress Dowager Cixi enjoyed this, so why not take this opportunity to be a Gege or A Ge? 🌍Travel through a thousand years. The pavilions, towers, and landscape paintings of the Summer Palace exude the poetic beauty of Jiangnan gardens. If you want to blend in perfectly with this scenery, Song-style Hanfu is undoubtedly the best choice. 🎭There are rental shops near the Summer Palace's Ruyi Gate and East Palace Gate, with prices ranging from 100 to 1,000. Some include makeup, hair, and photography services. The shops around the West Gate are more affordable. 💄Makeup and styling suggestions Song Dynasty makeup emphasizes natural freshness. You can choose light-colored base makeup, paired with willow eyebrows and small red lips, and then add a Song-style bun (such as a double-ring bun or a hanging bun) to present a gentle and intellectual temperament. 📸 Recommended photo spots in the Summer Palace Long Corridor - The colorful ancient paintings and Hanfu complement each other, showing a scholarly atmosphere. Seventeen-Arch Bridge - The elegance of Song-style Hanfu and the reflection on the lake complement each other, dreamy and poetic. Tower of Buddhist Incense - Overlooking Kunming Lake from a high place, the clothes fluttering, like a lady standing on a tower. Zhichun Pavilion - Leaning on the railing by the water, holding an oil-paper umbrella, full of Jiangnan charm. Wenchang Courtyard - The garden architecture and the elegant temperament of Song-style Hanfu are perfectly integrated. 🕙Best time: 8:00-10:00 am. The sunlight is just right, not too dazzling, and not too bright. 👉Peak hours: Long Corridor and Seventeen-Arch Bridge are crowded. ⚠️Wearing Song pants is more convenient than a horse face skirt, especially when climbing the Tower of Buddhist Incense. 🪭Props: You can bring small props such as folding fans, scrolls, and oil-paper umbrellas to add artistic conception to the photos. 🎫Ticket: 20 ⛲️Hidden spot: If you take a boat, you might as well go to the West Dike, where there are fewer people, and you can enjoy the scenery step by step, as if you are walking in a painting. 👗The gentle elegance of Song-style Hanfu complements the rhythm of the mountains and rivers of the Summer Palace. Next time you come to the Summer Palace, why not put on a Song-style Hanfu and leave the most beautiful memories in this poetic world?
