The photographer shoots close to the water surface, focusing on the center of the reflection and taking a top-down shot from directly above. Using a standard lens, the water reflection can form a frame within the composition, blurring the surrounding leaves to highlight the central image of the tree and the blue sky. Travel Tips: Admission is free, but you need to make a reservation in advance (those who haven’t booked can also queue up at the entrance, but it can be very long due to the large number of people).
