Using leading lines in the composition, let the vertical lines of the stairs guide the viewer's gaze to the pavilion in the distance, enhancing the sense of depth. The photographer should stand in the middle of the stone path and shoot from a low angle looking up. It’s recommended to use a medium to telephoto lens to compress the space and highlight the subject, making the scene more expansive.
