5. Outfit ideas:
① Classic red wall contrast: Wear a pure white, beige, or light apricot dress/coat to create a striking contrast with the red wall, making the photo clean and sophisticated;
② Traditional Chinese style: Choose a black or dark blue qipao/New Chinese-style top, paired with a folding fan or oil paper umbrella to highlight the classical atmosphere;
③ Minimalist modern look: Camel-colored sweater + straight-leg jeans + ankle boots, using clean lines to balance the intense red wall;
④ Autumn/winter vibe: Caramel wool scarf + gray wool coat, warm tones blend well with the red wall, perfect for low-angle shots to show depth.

Include the pavilion's painted beams and roof in the background, and keep the grass and railing in the foreground to add depth to the environment.

Travel Tip: The admission fee is 10 yuan.
