Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, with Chinese lattice windows in the foreground to frame the background of ancient buildings, enhancing the depth of the scene. The photographer should use a level shooting angle to ensure the complete wooden structure of the window lattice. The composition should include the full view of the window lattice and the white walls, black tiles, and red-roofed buildings behind it, preserving the details and depth of the architecture. It's recommended to use a medium-telephoto lens to compress the background, making the architectural layout appear more compact.

The background should include shopfronts, red lanterns, and carved railings, while retaining some sky at the top to balance the tone and composition of the image. Travel Tip: The entrance is free.
