Photographers should adopt a high-angle shot at an elevated position, recommending the use of mid-to-long focal lengths for shooting. The composition should follow the rule of thirds, with two-thirds at the bottom dedicated to the brightly lit ancient-style architectural complex as the main subject, and one-third at the top including the sky and distant modern high-rises to balance the frame. The scene should include the near foreground of rooftops, the midground of the architectural complex, and the background skyline to enhance the sense of depth, while paying attention to night exposure control to retain light details.
