How to get there

N31° 11' 38.648"E121° 28' 55.1485"
This image was taken at the World Expo Museum in the Huangpu District. It's easily accessible by the subway. No entrance fee is needed, but a ticket is required. You can either reserve your ticket through the online booking system or pick up the tickets on site after 10am. Once you walk through the entrance of the museum, you'll find an exterior staircase on your left that will lead you to the 2nd floor. From there, you'll see this view. By Subway: - Closest Station: World Expo Museum Station (Line 13) - Take 'Exit 2' - Turn right on Mengzi Rd and the museum will be on your left (at the intersection of Mengzi and Jumen Rd) Address: Shanghai's World Expo Museum, 818 Mengzi Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai

Tips

When to go

Best season

April, May, June, July, August

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
You can photograph this architectural gem any month of year, but if you want to capture the bushes at their most vibrant color, I suggest visiting from April to August.
Visit anytime from morning to late afternoon for good lighting conditions.

Field tips

By using a wide-angle lens (16mm) you'll be able to frame the majority of the scene.
Try waiting until the frame only has one subject in it — like I did — or you can take your photo when there are many people walking around. It's a busy location, so you'll have the option to try both!
This landmark is also great for a drone shot. Experiment with different perspectives, like a classic look-down view.
