The photographer shoots from a diagonal front position of the subject at a slightly downward angle, which allows for showcasing the spatial relationship between the subject and background elements. Placing the subject at the center of the frame emphasizes their prominence, while using a standard lens ensures a realistic reproduction of the scene’s spatial depth and details of the subject’s attire, capturing the texture of a classical setting. Travel Tip: The admission fee is 45 RMB per person.
