Use display racks and door frames to frame exhibits and people, enhancing the depth of the scene. Utilize spotlights and projections in the exhibition hall to create an atmospheric contrast with light and shadow. Employ the lines of corridors and display cases for symmetrical or diagonal compositions for a more orderly arrangement. Capture natural actions such as people gazing at exhibits or touching exhibition walls, avoiding staged poses. Highlight the subject against a solid color background, and leave white space to make the image more sophisticated.

Travel tips: Weekends and holidays are crowded, so it's recommended to visit on weekdays, or use corners and steps in the exhibition hall for a less crowded background.

Use a low-angle shot. Symmetrical composition places the palace at the center of the frame, with its reflection on the glass floor creating a mirror image that enhances the sense of balance in the image. The lines on the glass ground form leading lines that extend from the foreground to the palace, drawing the viewer's attention to the main subject. The scene includes reflections on the glass, the full view of the palace, and clouds in the sky, enriching the image's layers and depth.

Travel tips: There is a free area and a paid area costing 40 yuan.
