The model sits against the right pillar of the pavilion, with one hand slightly raised in a relaxed manner. The photographer uses a top-down angle and the rule of thirds, placing the model on the right side of the frame. The left side includes rock formations, green plants, and a bamboo fence to balance the composition. The background features unique rocks and green trees, while the foreground incorporates the fence and grass to add depth. A standard focal length is recommended for this shot.

1. Positioning: The photographer stands slightly to one side of the entrance to the Canglang Pavilion, taking a shot at eye level.
2. Composition: The rule of thirds is used to divide the image into upper, middle, and lower sections. The upper part shows the sky and tree branches, the middle part features the main structure of the building, and the lower part includes the stone bridge and ground, creating a balanced composition.
3. Lens Usage: A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the space, making the arrangement of elements such as the building and trees more compact while highlighting the main structure of the building.

Use frame-within-a-frame composition, with a circular cut-out structure as the foreground frame to highlight the scene inside. The photographer should stand below the circular structure and shoot upwards to ensure the frame is complete. The composition should include the circular edge in the foreground, green trees in the midground, and white buildings in the background to enhance the sense of depth. A standard focal length is recommended to maintain proper proportions in the image.

It is recommended to use the wooden door as a foreground frame, placing the subject in the center of the image to enhance the atmosphere of the classical garden. The photographer should use a straight-on angle, with the model standing against the wall, holding a fan and crossing their arms in front of them, in a graceful and natural pose. The background should include a white wall, preserving the details of the wooden door. A medium-telephoto lens is recommended to highlight the integration of the subject with the environment.

Ticket prices: Peak season (April to October) 20 RMB, off-season 15 RMB.
