The photographer shoots from below the building, looking up to emphasize the height and roundness of the dome. Using a centered and symmetrical composition, the central building with dragon-patterned decorations is placed in the middle of the frame, with red pillars symmetrically distributed on either side to enhance the sense of solemnity. The full view of the building is captured, from the bottom railings to the top dome, with the red pillars on both sides serving as symmetrical elements. A standard lens is recommended to clearly showcase the architectural details and intricate decorations.
