Use a level shot angle, facing the inscribed stone wall directly, with the text area centered in the frame. Use a centered composition to highlight the large red characters “Love My China, Repair My Great Wall” and the signature on the left. Include the full view of the stone wall and the brick wall background above it to enhance the scene, and move closer to emphasize the details of the text. Additional tips: Check the weather forecast in advance. The best lighting for the Great Wall is on a sunny day, while overcast days can create a moody atmosphere.

Use a low-angle shot with the stone tablet centered in the frame. Employ a foreground-background composition, where the inscribed stone tablet is prominently featured in the foreground, and the Great Wall’s fortifications, along with green trees to the left and an arched gate to the right, are included in the background. This enhances the sense of depth and ensures that both the stone tablet and the entirety of the fortifications are fully visible, while retaining the surrounding environment details. Travel Tip: The entrance fee is 40 yuan per person.
