I recommend using a frame composition technique, with the circular ironwork lace as the foreground frame, placing the roof of the Temple of Heaven at the center of the frame to highlight the architectural details. For photographers, I suggest a low-angle position, shooting from below to ensure that the golden pinnacle and blue roof are fully captured within the frame, with a clear blue sky in the background. I recommend using a telephoto lens to compress the space and make the frame and subject more cohesive. Admission price: 15 RMB per person.
