Use a low-angle shot looking up, standing directly in front of the building and pointing the camera upwards to emphasize the towering height of the multi-story pavilion. Employ symmetrical composition to balance the left and right sides of the building, with the central red door and plaque as the focal point. Capture the entire view of the building, including the bottom steps, stone lions, and other details. Keep the background as a pure night sky to highlight the lighting. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens or a 1x focal length on your phone to include more architectural details and enhance the perspective effect.
