Photography Tips
**Photography Tips:** The model should sit on the chair, while the photographer stands on the hill below the pavilion to take an upward shot using the central composition technique. The shot should include the plaque of Yan Nanxun and the window frames behind the pavilion. **Pose:** The model should sit on the chair with one leg crossed over the other and hands resting on the knees. The upper body should be slightly bent forward to keep the face parallel to the camera, avoiding unflattering angles. **Location:** Beijing - China Garden Museum. **Recommended Outfit:** Neo-Chinese Style, Qipao. **Tips for Visiting:** - **Opening Hours:** Open from Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00-17:00 (last entry at 15:30, indoor exhibitions close at 16:30, closed on Mondays).
