Position the antique-style tower in the center of the frame to highlight its main body, with symmetrical sides on the left and right for a more stable appearance. Include the reflection on the water surface and the weeping willows on the bank in the foreground, and keep the open blue sky in the background to enhance the sense of depth and layering in the image. This allows for a complete display of the tower's entirety while also incorporating water, plants, and sky, harmoniously blending the lake view with the tower. Travel Tips: Admission is free.
