Use a symmetrical composition with a carved chair placed in the center, flanked by peacock feather fans and square tables on either side. Keep the traditional painting above. Recommend the photographer to shoot from a level angle to ensure the symmetrical structure is straight and not tilted. The red walls, door frames on both sides, and the painting above should be fully displayed to show the interior decoration. Use a standard lens to highlight the symmetrical beauty and details of the ancient architecture. Additional tip: Avoid peak hours and travel off-peak.
