The photographer uses a bird's-eye view angle, with the model sitting on the steps leaning against a yellow pillar, positioned centrally in the frame (central composition). The background features green-glazed brick walls with carvings and yellow pillars, while the foreground retains the stone-paved path to enhance the sense of depth. The model holds a fan and rests one hand gently under her chin, striking a natural pose that highlights the details of the ancient architecture and the classical atmosphere. Travel Tips: Admission is 60 RMB.
