A standard lens is used to accurately reproduce the proportion and spatial relationship between the monument and the flags. The low-angle view emphasizes the grandeur and solemnity of the monument, while the central composition highlights its dominant position, creating an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence. The low-angle composition frames both the red flags and the Monument to the People's Heroes together.

Additional suggestions: 
① Bring your ID card, as there is security check to enter the square, do not bring lighters or knives;
② Wear comfortable shoes, protect yourself from the sun in summer and from the wind in winter, and travel light.
