The model walks naturally, looking to the side, maintaining a relaxed posture to add dynamism and storytelling to the image. Travel Tips: 1. Ticket Price: 30 RMB; 2. Opening Hours: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Closed on Mondays).

A 24mm focal length or 1x on a smartphone is used, allowing the wide-angle shot to fully capture the roof textures and depth of the siheyuan while retaining the model's details. 1.
