Photography Tips
The photographer uses an upward angle, centering the sundial as the main subject in the composition, placing it in the center of the frame to highlight its pointer and carved details. The background includes the roof of the Forbidden City on the left and a clear blue sky, enhancing the historical atmosphere. The image ensures that the sundial is the clear focus while maintaining complete elements of the background architecture, balancing the relationship between the subject and the environment. Travel Tips: ① Admission Fee: 60 RMB; ② Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (Last entry at 4:00 PM).
