Using frame-within-a-frame composition, the photographer captures the scene with the镂空 (latticed) windows of the architectural corridor as the foreground frame, highlighting the figure in the center and the yellow-glazed tile palace in the background, enhancing the depth of the image. The photographer uses a level angle, with the model standing sideways and naturally leaning against the window frame. The composition must include the window frame, the figure, and the full view of the distant palace.

The photographer stood below the building, using an upward angle to highlight the layers of the roof. Employing leading lines in the composition, the eaves' lines naturally extend, guiding the viewer's gaze to the脊兽 on the roof ridge. The framing includes two layers of eaves, the ridge beast, and some painted decorations, while the background retains a simple sky. It is recommended to use a standard lens, paying attention to adjusting the exposure to avoid overexposure of the sky, thereby emphasizing the architectural details and colors. Travel Tips: ① Admission Fee: 60 RMB; ② Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM.
