Photography Tips
The photographer stands in front of the palace wall, using a low-angle shot to highlight the golden roof and carved details against the red walls. The composition follows the rule of thirds, with the building positioned on the left one-third of the frame, and a few potted palm trees on the right to balance the scene. The background includes a clear blue sky to enhance the freshness of the image. The framing incorporates part of the palace wall, the green plants in front, and a portion of the sky. It is recommended to use a standard focal length or the 2x zoom on a smartphone to showcase the harmonious pairing of the red wall and green plants. Travel Tips: The ticket price is 60 RMB per person during peak season and 40 RMB per person during off-season.
