Use the rule of thirds, placing the subject at the right one-third of the frame to balance the main subject and the background. Shoot at eye level to ensure the red wall, ancient rooftops, trees, and the setting sun's afterglow are all included in the shot with clear background layers.

Recommend that the photographer stand directly in front of the subject, maintaining a moderate distance between the subject and the rooftop items. Shoot at eye level using a center composition, with the subject at the center of the frame, making them the focal point.

Additional tips:
1. You can go directly to the second floor for photos.
2. It's best to go around 4 PM to catch the sunset; it’s too late to get the sunset light if you go much later.
