Photography Tips
Center the composition with the red palace in the middle to highlight the layers of the yellow roof and snow. Use the snow-covered branches in the foreground as a natural frame to enhance the depth of the scene. Keep the blue sky in the background to make the red walls and golden roof stand out more clearly. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to ensure the architectural details are sharp. Travel Tips: ① Admission Fee: 60 RMB; ② Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (Closed on Mondays).
