Where is Photography, absolutley, not permitted in China (vise-versa)?? |
Travel Info I feel like in most places in China, Beijing especially, you can't take photos. I know photography is not permitted at the Terrocotta army place. But I want to know if photography is allowed at Tianamen Square and The Forbidden City. Can you guys name famous/well known places where I can or cannot take pictures because I'm going to China soon and I don't want my camera taken or something like that. Thanks. Travel Tips I wonder ... are you really planning to go to China for vacation??? IF YOU CONCERN YOUR CAMERA WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY (who would do that? police? army?) BECAUSE OF JUST USING IT TO TAKE PHOTOS OF HISTORICAL SITES, then it implies that you know nothing about China and you think it is an unsafe place for tourists! In my opinion, you should go to somewhere else, spend your money in somewhere you think it is safe and without worries in advance! If you know how to search information online (or if you would have the interest to do so, then google - China photos ... you can find tons of photos took by people from different parts of the world that have been to China! http://martinwilliams.tripod.com/beidaih... http://martinwilliams.tripod.com/dongzhi... http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-19... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~... I go to China very often and I take as many photos as I want with my digital camera or my cell phone, so as the local Chinese there. (Certainly, I've never been to any militery facilities as a normal traveler!) Others Photography is definately allowed at Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and all other tourist sites. The only thing you're not allowed to take pictures of is military & some police installations and equipment. You posted in my previous post implying that I'm a fake posing as an Illegal Immigrant. We'll to provide you with the details and give you a better understanding. I was brought over at the age of two by my parents, since then I've lived and grew up here. Now, I'm at the age of 18 a high school graduate attending college. To clear it all up, No I am no Fake. Here is my experience last week: I was busy buying fake Coach and Gucci wallets from a man in the underground walkway at Peoples Square in ShangHai.. some girls came up and started taking pictures of the scene. One of the vendors stood up and grabbed the lense right off her camera and through it on the ground. A policeman watched the whole thing. I still bought my wallets but I think he broke her lens. China, apart from photographing military/classified installations,which all countries of the world prohibit, is not paranoid about tourists photographing historical,commercial,resident... or any other places and buildings of public interest,of course unlike the USA,where the Homeland Security,on mere suspicion of photographing, packs you off straight to Gitmo Bay,where you would continue to rot without any recourse to justice. I spent three weeks in China last year. I was in Beijing, Changsha and Guanzhou. I took pictures of anything and everything. I even took pictures of military in Tianamen Square and of soldiers marching in Guanzhou. I also took pictures in the Forbidden City. No one seemed upset at all about any pictures I took. I say have fun and take some great pictures! 3 weeks in China in 2006 |
