A centered composition technique is suggested, placing the “Ji Ming Xiang Hai” plaque in the center of the frame, with green plants in the foreground to add depth. The background should include the roof and walls of the building. It is also recommended to use a medium to long focal length lens to blur the foreground plants and clearly show the details of the plaque and parts of the building. Admission price: 10 RMB per person.
