Photography Tips
The photographer stands directly below the corner tower, using an upward angle and central composition to place the roof and eaves of the tower at the center of the frame, fully showcasing details such as the dougong brackets and tiles. The background includes only clear blue sky, avoiding any additional elements to highlight the tower's height and symmetrical beauty. Travel Tip: The entrance ticket costs 60 RMB.
