All months of the year are suitable to photograph along the lantern lit pathway.

Visit after dark when the lanters beautifully illuminate.

Explore up and down the pathway to find your preferred spot.

I used a portrait lens (50mm) which allowed me to focus on my model and the immediate surrounding lanterns.

Try using a prism or something else (even your phone!) to reflect the light from the lanterns. That's how I created the reflecting light across the bottom of my image.

There could be a lot of foot traffic at night so be patient to capture your perfect moment!
