It is recommended to use eye-level shots, as they create a sense of equality and warmth, helping to establish a natural connection between the viewer and the subject. The red grilles in the background serve as a frame, enclosing the person and drawing the viewer’s attention to them. This compositional technique also adds depth and layers to the image. We recommend using a standard focal length lens, which can realistically capture the proportions of the scene and the subject, avoiding the distortion from wide-angle lenses and the compression from telephoto lenses.

1. Travel Tips: Admission is 45 RMB per person.
2. Other Tips: The photo spots are mainly around the Great Buddha Hall, with many popular locations both in front of and behind the hall.
