Use the shape of the building to frame the TV tower in the background.
Best time for photography: Recommended to go on weekdays in the morning, as it seems more beautiful in the day than at night, with fewer people and more favorable light, making it easier to take good shots.

The photographer stands slightly elevated at the center of the hall, using a flat shooting angle to showcase the entirety of the circular space. The frame should include the top circular lights, wall textures, round tables on the ground, and curved seating, fully presenting the spatial design and capturing more environmental details, highlighting the depth of the circular structure.

Stand in front of the sculpture and interact or stand naturally, with the camera at eye level or slightly lower, focusing on the theme of "avoiding the crowd and pampering the little dog." Turn on the portrait mode on your phone to make both you and the dog the main focus; for the camera, choose a focal length of 35 - 105mm, with an aperture of f/3.5 - f/6.3. There are also many people who bring their dogs to check in here. If you're socially bold, don't hesitate to try and take a photo with a real dog.

The photographer uses a low-angle shot from a lying position on the ground of the corridor, with the buildings on both sides forming a natural frame. The central composition places the TV tower in the center of the frame, highlighting the red lights on the tower body and the display screen at the top. The scene includes the building frames on both sides, the central TV tower, and the background city night scene, enhancing the sense of spatial hierarchy and depth. Other tips: If you have a drone, you can also capture the Tree of Life and the TV tower in the same frame, but remember that you need to have flying qualifications and report in advance.
