The photographer stands by the Shichahai Lake, facing the Bell and Drum Towers. The lake surface and trees create a natural visual separation, adding depth to the composition. I recommend using a standard lens, which is suitable for medium to long-distance shooting. This way, you can capture the entire Bell and Drum Towers along with the lake and tree background.
