Beijing is really a bit far away.

If I hadn't had a chance to go on a business trip, I don't think I would have made a special trip to Beijing; if it weren't for a business trip, I don't think I would have spent my only 24 hours to see the prosperity of Beijing.

I love taking photos. Every time I travel, I bring a full-frame SLR camera, three lenses and a tripod, and carry a weight of 20 kilograms to record everything in front of me.
However, when I am on a business trip, I still hope to be able to travel lightly. The Canon EOS RP micro-sheet has become a must-have choice for me on business trips. I just need to put a camera as light as Nongfu Spring into my official bag. It will not take up too much space and will not burden my luggage.

Carrying an RF24 -105mm F4L IS USM lens with you can not only meet the needs of official shooting, but also record the scenery around you with ease. It is definitely one of the best choices for hanging heads and can meet the needs of most scenes. It can be said that EOS RP has everything in hand.

24 hours, let's see how Beijing has changed today.

Accommodation: Yujing Nanluo Hotel

Beijing weather: sunny

Comments: The hotel is located in an alley to the west in the middle of Nanluogu Lane. It is a very prosperous street. You can take the elderly and children for eating and playing at night. The hotel is quiet in the hustle and bustle. It doesn't feel noisy at all. You can enjoy free foot soaking service every night to easily enjoy slow life. The hotel waiter is as kind as the boy next door. It is very close to the attractions. If you don't want to walk to Nankou Line 6 and Line 8, you can do whatever you want. The children and the elderly don't want to leave. It is worth mentioning that the cleaning lady loves to clean the fried chicken. There is not a single hair on the bathroom floor. It is very useful for people like me who are a cleanliness freak. Thank you for your service. I won't live anywhere next time I go to Beijing, so I will come here.

Beijing 12 o'clock

[Yinshi, Mingshi]

The business trip coincides with the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Beijing is crowded with people, and it is already a luxury to visit the Forbidden City quietly. Since you can't visit the Forbidden City, you must experience the most classic corner tower sunrise. A southerner really couldn't understand September in the north. When the alarm clock rang at 4:15, I jumped out of bed, put on my clothes, and went out with my bag on my back. But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to get a taxi in the early morning in Beijing, let alone the low temperature in the early morning in Beijing. Wearing short-sleeved clothes, I waited for the car in the cold wind and waited for 15 minutes before getting on a car. At the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, I had already seen nearly a hundred local photographers with long guns and short cannons waiting on the edge of the moat, and their white hair was visible. I had to admire their perseverance and love.

I didn't make a big fuss like the photographers around me. I took out the EOS RP and desktop stand from my bag, adjusted the parameters, and started shooting.

Using light, a 30-second long exposure was made, allowing the clouds to flow silky, and the flowing moat water also reflected the quaint appearance of the corner tower like a mirror.

As time went by, the sky gradually became brighter, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed red. The gate of the Forbidden City echoed each other in the distance under the burning clouds. The tolerance of the camera is quite good, and the details of the light and dark parts can be represented to the greatest extent.

The sun has completely risen and the sky is golden.

[Chenshi]
I ordered a fried liver, a meat steamed buns and a bottle of Arctic Ocean in Yaoji near the Drum Tower. It was a classic old Beijing breakfast. The happiest thing was that as a southerner, I could happily accept it and like the fried liver. The taste of stewed pork.

After breakfast, I rode my bike to Nanluogu Lane. The charming Shichahai was no longer the hustle and bustle of the night. In the early morning, the lake was sparkling, and occasionally local people who exercised in the morning would walk by, which was a good scene.

On this day, Beijing changed from the haze of previous days. A thin cloud streaked across the sky, and the water in the Shichahai Lake became bluer. EOS RP has excellent color reproduction power and can truly record these picturesque scenery.

[Si o'clock, noon]
Phoenix Center can be said to be an absolutely unpopular check-in point, but for me who loves architecture, it is a must-visit place.

The Phoenix Center uses the diagram of the Mobius Circle to integrate the high-rise office area and the media studio. While meeting the requirements of providing all-round program production venues and other supporting service facilities, it forms a complete space and volume. The shape of the "Mobius Circle" is what attracted me.

When I arrived, it happened that the Phoenix Center was holding Wu Weishan's sculpture art exhibition. Walking in the Phoenix Center in the light and shadow, I felt very happy.
In the two shared spaces of the east and west, continuous steps, landscape platforms, aerial corridors and escalators reaching the sky are set up, making the entire building full of movement and vitality. It's very interesting to quickly adjust the aperture and get a good star effect.

Thanks to the RF24 -105 zoom lens, in addition to using wide-angle shooting of the sky of the building, it can also use a 105mm focal length to capture interesting scenes where tourists appreciate the sculpture art and integrate it with the building.

Walking to the top of the building through the air corridor, there is an empty ground. The marble floor tiles reflect the steel frame structure of the building, which is very beautiful.
Don't worry about walking alone and not being able to get yourself in the mirror. Just put the camera on the ground, adjust it to a 10-second timing shooting, freeze the focus point in the center of the picture through the touch screen, press the shutter, and jump. Then a perfect selfie will come out. When I saw the satisfied photos, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I quickly exported the photos through my mobile phone Wi-Fi, and I could publish them in my circle of friends. After 10 minutes, I received unanimous praise-your stomach became bigger.

[Not in time]
Galaxy SOHO is another fascinating building. In fact, I am very interested in all the buildings of the SOHO series. I have been to Lingkong SOHO in Shanghai and Wangjing SOHO in Beijing. The white walls are matched with filter glass windows, which are spaced and inlaid on the outer wall with a very linear sense. It is very charming. Use telephoto to easily capture parts of Galaxy SOHO and see a different SOHO. And when shooting at this angle, I can also use the EOS RP's flip touch screen, just tap on the screen to get a wonderful photo.

[Shenshi]
As a city full of historical and cultural significance, how can Beijing not feel it? Beihai Park has become the best place to go. Beihai is located in the center of Beijing. It is the earliest, most complete, and most culturally deposited classical royal garden in China's existing history. It is a masterpiece that embodies the masterpieces of garden culture and art of past dynasties.
You can enter the park by using the Beijing Municipal Transportation Card on your mobile phone. The sun is right at this time and the trees are mottled. By setting continuous autofocus on the camera, no matter how irregular the ducks swim, their movements can be accurately captured.

The sun sets in the west, and the sun gradually radiates a soft light. A small boat is gliding among lotus flowers, which is the tail of midsummer.

A lotus flower that is still in full bloom blooms proudly in the sunset.

The sun sets in the west at sunset is the most beautiful time in the North Sea.

Seeing an old man writing calligraphy on the ground, I immediately captured it with my camera.

Grandpa and grandma accompanied their grandson, watching the sun set in the west at night. In order to record this warm moment, I set the camera to shutter mute mode so as not to disturb the tranquility of this moment.

[Youshi]
Night is approaching, let's experience the bustling night view of Guomao. In the face of the excellent high feeling of EOS RP, the wonderful shooting of night scenes is still perfect.
A 24mm focal length takes a panoramic view of Guomao.

Take another picture with a 105mm focal length. Telephoto communication can create a sense of spatial compression and bring different effects.

The traffic flow rolls. Through the camera's own interval shooting function, 10 photos are taken to capture the traffic flow trajectory at different times. Then, through post-stack synthesis, it creates a perfect feeling of traffic ~(Where is the horse)

The lights are on in the fragrant grass at night.

Through long exposure, a busy scene on Chaoyangmenwai Street was photographed.

On the other side, in Dongcheng Area, when the lights are just on, the Great Hall of the People, Tiananmen Administration Bureau and other buildings in the Laocheng District echo the Guomao Building Complex in the distance. The excellent high-sensitivity performance of EOS RP makes the picture very clean, clear and delicate throughout the night.

Now that you are back in Chang 'an Street, you must experience the National Center for the Performing Arts on Chang' an Street. Under the illumination of the spotlights, the metal structure on the outside presents a different texture.

From a distance, it seems to be a huge eggshell, giving birth to life that breaks out of its cocoon at any time.

I have to say that the sharpness of the photos taken by EOS RP is very beyond expectations, the local details are very impressive, and the picture quality is very delicate, which can fully express the exquisite details of the building.

As the National Day approaches, preparations for exercises began along Chang 'an Street, and spotlights were also turned on on the roof of the Great Hall of the People.

Facing Tiananmen Square and paying tribute to the armed police officers and soldiers.

[Chenshi]
This day coincides with the day of the exercise and is also my last day in Beijing. I will fly back in the afternoon. Then you must cherish this opportunity no matter what. So I set the alarm early, booked a taxi, and left the hotel at 4:30. However, due to traffic restrictions and road closures, we could drive from the Second Ring Road to the Third Ring Road, and we could not find a road through Chang 'an Street. So I decisively abandoned the car and found a bicycle on the roadside, achieving my feat of riding in the cold wind for 40 minutes.

When they arrived, it was already later than expected, and there was already a slight morning light on the horizon.

The distant Beijing Station is waiting for a new busy day.

The corner towers of the Ming City Wall and the CBD in the distance echo ancient and modern times. This is my favorite composition during my visit to Beijing.

The sun gradually rises and the sky takes on the favorite purples, pinks and yellows. The good tolerance of EOS RP can also accurately record the beautiful sky in front of you.

The capital is bathed in the sun.
The early morning sunshine is indeed the most charming. The warm light is intertwined with the tree shadows. Vehicles and pedestrians walking through it can always form interesting pictures.

On the way back, pedestrians crossing the road in the sun were captured by fast and precise focusing.

concluding remarks

Goodbye, Beijing. The excellent performance and handling performance of the EOS RP carried on this trip exceeded my imagination. This is the best era. The replacement of cameras has brought us more creative convenience. Representative of EOS RP, which is light and easy to carry, will lead me to continue to create more.
I hope the Beijing in my eyes is the Beijing you like.
