Use a centered composition with the dragon-shaped sculpture at the center of the frame to highlight its color details and shape. The photographer shoots from a frontal angle to ensure the sculpture and its base are clear and complete. The frame includes the ancient red walls and trees in the background to add a sense of depth and layering to the environment, while the foreground retains the sculpture and base. Additional tips: Visit in the morning, allow 2 hours for an in-depth visit, or just 1 hour for a quick photo tour.
