Inner Ring Road, Nan Pu Da Qiao (Nan Pu Bridge) & Huangpu River

This image of Inner Ring Road, Nan Pu Da Qiao (Nan Pu Bridge) and Huangpu River was taken in the green space that's northwest of Inner Ring Road. The easiest way to get to this location is to take public transportation and then walk. After you emerge from "Exit 3" of the station, reference the GPS coordinates in 2D mode to see where I stood to launch my drone and then fly up and toward the bridge to capture a similar perspective of the circular road, bridge and body of water. By public transportation: - Closest station: Nanpu Bridge (via Line 4) - Take "Exit 3"

You'll be able to photograph Inner Ring Road, Nan Pu Da Qiao (Nan Pu Bridge) and Huangpu River during any month of the year without having to deal with any seasonal changes.

In order to capture the bright lights from the road and bridge, I recommend visiting at nighttime.

Before flying a drone, check and follow all drone regulations and rules.

Please be mindful of the drone signal since you're takeoff point is a decent distance from the bridge. If you're too far away, you'll lose your signal and not be able to communicate with your drone.

Try setting your drone on Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) mode before you start taking photos. This mode will automatically take more shots, and then later in post processing, you can make an HDR (high-dynamic-range) image with what you captured.

Make sure you're flying far enough back (away from the bridge), so you're able to incorporate Inner Ring Road in your photo.

I have another shot of the bridge that I took from a nearby location — make sure to check it out in the app! It will give you some more inspiration on the different perspectives you can capture in this area.

I recommend bringing along some food to have a picnic while enjoying the incredible view before the sun sets. Then, once it's dark out, you can go get your shots of the illuminated bridge.

The nearby South Bund Fabric Market is a great place to get quality, custom-made clothes.
