1. Positioning Angle: The photographer stands at a closer position to Yongkang Pavilion, adopting an upward or slightly upward level angle, to capture the eaves, plaques, doors and windows, and some decorative details of Yongkang Pavilion in the frame. Shooting from an upward or slightly upward level angle enhances the grand momentum of the ancient architecture. 2. Composition Technique: Employ the partial composition method, focusing on the partial shooting of Yongkang Pavilion, highlighting elements such as the mythical creatures on the eaves, plaques, doors and windows, to reveal the whole from the part. 3. Lens Recommendation: A medium telephoto lens can be used. The medium telephoto lens can compress space, making the elements in the picture more compact. It not only highlights the architectural details but also avoids the distortion that may be caused by wide-angle lenses. Ticket Price: 25 yuan, which includes a free pack of incense.
