Photography Tips
Using a centered composition, the ceiling medallion and the plaque are positioned in the middle of the frame, with symmetrical blue dragon patterns on either side enhancing the sense of balance. The photographer stands below and shoots from a top-down angle, ensuring that the top medallion, the plaque below, and the surrounding square ceiling panels are all included in the shot. Travel Tips: ① Ticket Price: 60 RMB per person; ② Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM.
