Photography Tips
Using a circular frame as the foreground, highlight the main subject of the ancient costume painting inside. Position the circular frame directly and centrally in the picture to ensure it is complete and symmetrical. The composition should include the patterned wall around the frame, the “Jing Ting” (Silent Listening) plaque above, and part of the red window lattice on the left, to enhance the sense of an ancient setting. Incorporate more background elements to highlight the spatial layers. Travel Tips: 1. Ticket Price: 60 RMB per person. 2. Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM.
