1. Shooting Angle: The photographer positions themselves at a lower point within the Yuyuan Garden and uses an upward angle to capture both the Lujiazui skyscrapers and the Yuyuan architecture in the same frame. 2. Composition Technique: The composition employs a contrast approach, juxtaposing the traditional Chinese-style, low-rise Yuyuan buildings with the towering modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui, highlighting the differences and integration of ancient and contemporary architectural styles. 3. Lens Usage: A medium to long focal length lens is used to compress the space, making the distant skyscrapers appear closer to the nearby Yuyuan buildings, enhancing the framing effect. Travel Tips: 1. Navigate directly to Gate 6. From there, take the elevator in the adjacent store to the second floor, and turn left to find a small gate that allows you to avoid the crowds and get a bird's-eye view of the entire Yuyuan Garden. 2. Another option is Exit 7 of Yuyuan Station, which leads to the Laoshe Gold and Silver Building, a great spot for taking stunning photos.
