Use the red walls and the architectural structures above to form a natural frame, highlighting the main structure of the corner tower. Stand close to the red wall and shoot upward through the gaps, emphasizing the tower's height. Position the corner tower slightly to the right of center in the frame, with the red wall and golden door studs on the left serving as the foreground. The background should be the sky, keeping the composition clean and uncluttered. Additional tip: Wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking within the scenic area.
