Photography Tips
The photographer stands below the plaque, looking up to capture the “Jiaotai Hall” plaque in the center of the frame. This central composition highlights the main subject, while the symmetrical roof decorations on either side enhance the sense of balance. The blue roof and golden patterns above, along with the red door frame in the foreground, form a framing effect. A wide-angle lens is used to fully showcase the details of the plaque and the architecture. Other tips: Avoid peak hours and travel off-peak to minimize crowds.
