Use the layered backdrop of Heavenly Pool water, forests, and ancient architecture to create depth. Position the subject in the middle ground on the lawn, with arms wide open to show a relaxed sense of blending with nature, or lean against nearby trees and take slow, measured steps. Capture the mid-shot with the Heavenly Pool, mountain ranges, and the subject to highlight the vast beauty of the natural landscape. Close-ups of the subject's expression paired with parts of ancient architecture add a narrative to the scene. Opt for simple, everyday attire that matches the landscape, avoiding harsh midday light. The soft light before 12 PM and after 4 PM captures the unique atmosphere where nature and culture blend.

Check-in tips: Opening hours: High season 8:30 - 18:00, low season 9:00 - 17:00, no entry after 16:00.

Photo poses: ① Stand on the lawn with feet shoulder-width apart and arms widely spread to the sides, as if to embrace the landscape, integrating a carefree spirit into the natural scenery; ② Face the camera with one hand naturally hanging down and the other lightly raised to head height, fingertips slightly spread, gaze towards the distant mountains, effortlessly capturing an easy atmosphere; ③ Stand sideways, with one foot gently raised, hands casually placed at the side, and twist the body slightly to add liveliness and charm to the image.
