The photographer, standing at a higher position by the lake, recommends using a bird's-eye view angle. It's suggested to use foreground composition techniques, incorporating colorful boats and floating platforms in the foreground to add depth, while capturing the open lake in the midground and including the spherical building and surrounding green trees and sky in the background. A standard lens is recommended to balance the elements in the frame and showcase the panoramic view of the lake and the iconic building. Admission price: 45 RMB per person.
