The photographer stands close to the Chengzheng Gate and uses an eye-level angle. In terms of composition, the frame-within-a-frame technique is employed, using the arched gateway of Chengzheng Gate as a frame to highlight the buildings in the background. A medium to long focal length lens is used to compress the space, making the relationship between the foreground gateway and the distant buildings tighter, and clearly presenting the architectural details.
