The photographer positions themselves directly in front of the subject, at a level roughly equal to the subject, to fully capture the subject's posture and the background ruins. In terms of composition, a contrasting technique is used, where the subject's attire and posture are juxtaposed with the dilapidated remains of the Old Summer Palace, highlighting the clash between history and modernity. A standard lens is used to faithfully reproduce the scene, clearly showcasing the details of the subject's clothing, facial expressions, and the intricate carvings of the ruins. Travel Tips: 1. Admission Fee: 10 RMB per person, or 25 RMB for a combo ticket that includes the Western Buildings site; free admission for children under 6 years old and seniors over 60 years old. 2.
