The photographer stands by the stone railing, using leading lines to create a diagonal that guides the viewer’s eye from the carved stone pillars up close to those in the distance. In the foreground, a snow-covered stone dragon head is featured, while the background captures the distant palace rooftops blanketed in snow. Travel Tips: During peak season, it's recommended to arrive at the Meridian Gate before 8:00 AM (the gates open at 8:30 AM for the first wave of visitors).
