The model stands next to the glazed tile, and the photographer takes a level shot to capture both the model and the glazed tile together.
1. Photography Poses:
① Standing on One Side: Stand next to the glazed tile on one side of the ancient gate, with your body slightly turned towards the camera. Gently tilt your head up and softly look into the distance. Let one hand hang naturally at your side, and the other hand can lightly rest on the decorative parts of the glazed tile to showcase an elegant demeanor.
② Interactive Glance: Pretend to touch the glazed tile while standing next to it, then suddenly turn your head towards the camera with a smile on your lips, capturing a playful and curious moment.
③ Walking Between Sides: Walk gracefully from one side of the glazed tile to the other. The photographer should capture the movement, using the glazed tile and the ancient gate as the background to create a dynamic and aesthetically pleasing image.
2. Shooting Time: It is recommended to shoot between 4-5 PM when the sun is slanting, casting a soft glow on the glazed tile. This adds a warm tone to the image, making the colors of both the model and the glazed tile more vivid and enhancing the depth of the photograph.

The composition uses leading lines, with the neatly arranged trees forming a path that stretches from the foreground to the distance, guiding the viewer’s gaze deeper into the image and enhancing the sense of depth, emphasizing the avenue’s length.

Travel Tip: It’s recommended to visit on a weekday when it’s less crowded.

Tian Tan - Between the Hundred Flower Garden and the Bell Tower

The photographer stands at a lower position in front of the model and is recommended to use a medium telephoto lens for a slight upward angle shot. The circular body and painted portico of the Qiniandian form a natural frame, placing the model within the "frame" in the foreground. The architectural details (gilded decorations, glazed tiles) extend into the background, creating a three-layer space: "foreground model - mid-scene architecture - distant sky." The model's blue shawl echoes the blue and gold plaque and painted decorations of the Qiniandian, while the black clothing coordinates with the dark roof tiles and wooden structures of the building.
