Recording beautiful moments with the lens is the common wish of many photography enthusiasts. But contrary to expectations, many well-known attractions in the world are forbidden to take pictures.

One of the most prestigious main reading halls is located in the Thomas Jefferson Building. It is solemn and quiet, not only can not be loud noise, but taking pictures is absolutely forbidden. Of course, out of the reading hall, the photographers were free again. The outside of the hall is decorated with works by nearly 50 artists in American history, and even those who don't love books will linger on the precious art collection here.

Located in Agra, the ancient capital of northern India, the Taj Mahal, one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", was built in 1654 by Shah Jahan, the 5th emperor of the Mughal dynasty, in honor of the late Empress Jimanbanu. Despite its age, the Taj Mahal still has a typical postmodern style. However, photography is prohibited inside the Taj Mahal, and visitors must store all camera equipment and food they carry with them before leaving. If you want to leave its fragrance, you can only photograph its silhouette from a distance from the outside.
3. Amish community
Amish community
Lancaster County in eastern Pennsylvania is inhabited by a group of isolated "mysterious" inhabitants, the Amish people, who first came from Switzerland at the end of the 17th century and still lived a self-sufficient agricultural life in the 21st century, when they were violently colliding with modern civilization. Constrained by strict canon law, they refuse to use advanced technologies and means of transportation such as mobile phones and cars. Usually, friendly Amish people do not refuse visitors, but be sure to caution that photography and photography are not accepted in their customs. So, in order to respect their privacy and customs, hide the mysterious imprints there.
4. Rosslyn Cathedral
Rosslyn Cathedral
Anyone who has seen the Leonardo da Vinci Code must be familiar with Rosslyn Chapel. This church, located on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland, England, is exactly the scene in the book that unveils the mystery. Since the novel and the film of the same name came out, Rosslyn Cathedral, which was once very deserted, has overnight become one of the most popular attractions in the UK. It was built in 1446, and the church is full of exquisite relief decorations, which hide many symbols with mysterious meanings, so it is called "code church". Of course, it is naturally forbidden to take pictures here, you know, mysterious places can only exist in people's curiosity.
5. Valley of the Kings
Valley of the Kings
Speaking of Egypt, in addition to the famous pyramids, The Valley of the Kings is bound to flash in some people's minds. The Valley of the Kings is located on the west bank of the Nile in the ancient city of Luxor, and the cliffs of the City's Kurwan Peak are lined with burial chambers of all sizes, which contain the remains of ancient Egyptian pharaohs and nobles from the 16th and 11th centuries BC. If you try to take photos in the valley during the tour, you have to be careful that the crew will most likely temporarily confiscate your photographic equipment, as the camera's flash will destroy artifacts such as mummies. So, in the face of monuments, still be in awe!
6. Chieftain's Palace
