The photographer stands at a ground-level position in front of the Circular Mound Altar and shoots at eye level. Using symmetrical composition, the altar's central axis serves as the benchmark, with both sides being symmetrical. A wide-angle lens is used to expand the field of view, incorporating more foreground and sky, enhancing the depth of the scene and showcasing the grandeur and majesty of the Circular Mound Altar.

Additional tip: The Temple of Heaven Park opens at 6:30 AM.
