Photography Tips
Using an upward shooting angle, the photographer captures the scene from a low position, emphasizing the layers of the red walls and the eaves of ancient architecture. Employing foreground composition, lush greenery is included in the foreground, while the middle ground features rock formations and red walls covered in vines. The background should retain the eaves and sky to enhance the depth of the image. A wide-angle lens is recommended to ensure that the full view of the red walls, greenery, rock formations, and eaves in one corner of the courtyard is captured. Travel Tips: ① Admission: 60 RMB per person, free for minors; ② Opening hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
