Photography Tips
Best captured during the blue hour when the lights are on or early morning to avoid the crowds. Use a tripod and shutter release the long exposures that are necessary to get beautiful lights and also a soft water effect. You can capture wonderful panoramas here by shooting in portrait and stitching multiple shots together.
