Photography Tips

The photographer uses a low-angle shot to emphasize the towering height of the stone pillars. By employing a centered composition, the main cluster of stone pillars is placed in the center of the frame, with clear layers in the foreground and background, enhancing the three-dimensional effect. The framing includes the entire ruins and some greenery, preserving a sense of historical沧桑 (aged history). It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to capture more details and convey the grandeur of the site and its surroundings. Travel Tips: Admission is 25 yuan.
