The photographer stands at a slight distance in front of the display case, using a standard lens and shooting at eye level, to include the display case, exhibits, surrounding green plants, and walls in the frame, capturing the overall scene. Other suggestions: If you want to have a drink, the bar, second-floor seating, or the terrace are all great options. The prices for drinks generally range from 25-50 RMB.

It is recommended that the photographer shoot from a slightly lower than eye-level angle, possibly in a half-squat position. This angle allows the viewer to see the signs and displayed items above the bar clearly. In terms of composition, using the center composition technique is suggested, placing the bar and the sign at the center of the frame to draw the viewer’s attention. The high stools in front of the bar serve as the foreground, adding depth to the image. Using a wide-angle lens is also recommended to capture more of the environment, including the buildings and decorations on both sides, providing a complete view of the entire scene.

The photographer stands on the street directly opposite the store, slightly offset to the right, using a straight-on shooting angle to keep the camera parallel to the store, highlighting the front details. Place the red lanterns and the store's doors and windows at the one-third points on the left and right sides of the frame to enhance visual balance. This highlights the main details while retaining the surrounding atmosphere. Elements such as the red lanterns, wooden doors and windows, sign, and surrounding brick walls create a vintage, bustling market ambiance, while avoiding too many distracting elements in the frame. Travel Tip: The store has no seating and does not offer dine-in, so it's for grab-and-go or eating at the door. Additional Info: Operating hours are from 12:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
