Photography Tips

The photographer should use a level shooting angle and recommend a wide-angle or 1x phone lens. Center the composition with the ruins of the stone wall building in the middle to emphasize its wholeness. Bring in green shrubs in the foreground to add depth, and keep the stone steles and scattered stones in the midground. Travel Tips: ① Admission: 10 RMB, combo ticket 25 RMB; ② Opening Hours: 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM, closed on Mondays.
