For a panoramic shot, stand in the center of the lobby with the two highly distinctive spider-web pillars as your backdrop. Crouch slightly and take the photo from a low-angle, upward perspective. This not only highlights the grandeur of the architecture but also showcases your elegance to the fullest. 1. Travel Tips: If you want to take a close-up of a person, don't miss the afternoon when sunlight streams through the tall dome and the spider-web pillars, casting a warm golden hue over the white building. The interplay of light and shadow on your face will make for a stunning photo. 2. Outfit Suggestions: Opt for a minimalist and fashionable look, such as a sleek black, white, or gray suit, or a more edgy and functional style.
