For the composition, position yourself at a distance with a straight-ahead view, allowing the architecture, stone railings, and people to naturally appear in the frame while maintaining true spatial relationships. Arrange the main building, water surface, and stone railings in different horizontal zones, adding people to enhance vitality and balance the composition. Use a standard lens to accurately reproduce the scene’s proportions, capturing the architectural details, stone textures, and human postures clearly, giving the image both documentary quality and a sense of depth. Travel Tips: 1. Admission: Adults 30 CNY per person, college students 15 CNY per person, free for those under 18 and over 60, and the first 200 visitors on Wednesdays. 2. Opening Hours: May to October (peak season) 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, November to April (off-season) 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Mondays.
